Either way, there is no proof whatsoever for any existence of causality outside of the mind (if it even exists inside the mind). Any other claim results in circular reasoning: causality exists because you can observe it, and you can observe causality because it exists. This doesn't mean causality can't exist independently of any observer, only that it would be foolish to assume that whatever you think is causality a) is causality, b) exists, independently or dependently. I do suggest to read up on the different theories on what causality could be like (foregoing whether it actually exists), and on how all of them suffer from unsolveable problems.

Just to make things clear, however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX7CeTXoxyU
So causality as such is absolute (in this Reality); like entropy.
Of course freedom pertains to Reality in the way we perceive it (=reality); so the reality that is visible to us is not Reality as such. But does it really matter?

The defying point lies in the observer, not in the Reality / reality; and in the capability to take a (final) decision based on the knowledge of the reality around himself (which btw is not mandatory, at all, note, as the observer might refuse to make a choice in the first place). Freedom is this silver line.

reality (with lowercase r) might induce the observer to choose the wrong; or he/she might be able to make the right choice (out of sheer luck); it does not matter, the choice is what sets him/her free.
In fact, even assuming he/she knows the right choice, he/she might still choose the wrong one, for no reason. Freedom is a quantic effect; a Schrödringer-Cat.
