If you're a Mullvad customer then they already know your IP and from that they could identify you pretty easily. But that's true of all VPN providers, but they claim they don't log and I seem to recall them saying they don't keep a record of scratch off card numbers (why would they?). Either way you have to trust them and based on the fact they're totally open I do.
