Privacy & Policy
We provide a service that protects privacy. We take your data very seriously and put a lot of effort into ensuring safe storage and protection of your data. We believe you should always know what data we collect and how we use it. This document (Privacy Policy) defines and informs you of any and all of the instances in which your data and information is collected and used.
We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class VPN service at scale.
This privacy policy will help you understand how Secure Web VPN (“ Secure Web VPN ”, “ we ”, “ our ”, or “ us ”) collects, uses, and stores information.
1. PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our VPN app is a non-compulsory log network. Secure Web VPN is not available for the information related to the personal information of users, including but not limited to names (subscriber name, user names and screen names), addresses (including mailing address, residential address, business address) and telephones, unless the data you provide depending on the context of your interactions with us and the choices you make, including your privacy settings, and the products and features you use for the purpose of administering your subscription and for the purpose to enjoy our VPN services. Except for the limited exceptions, we don’t automatically collect any Personal Information from you.
When you open the app seeking for our VPN services, the app assigns a unique identifier to you for the service (such a unique identifier just binds up with your device identification code, but does not tie to any other personal information of users). We use this unique identifier to serve the same VPN IP to the user in every session.
Secure Web VPN uses your personal information only for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, and we don't sell your personal information to third parties without your prior consent.
2. SERVICE INFORMATION RELATED TO YOUR VPN USAGE
Subject to applicable laws and for the avoidance to violate any internet service provider, any browsing information, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, DNS queries or other similar information relating to your online activities transmitted by you to our servers is encrypted and cleared after the VPN “ session ” is closed. That said, we don't collect any information regarding the Secure Web VPN app or any data stored on or transmitted from your device, including any data that applications on your device may transmit through the VPN network. Secure Web VPN has NO documents/information below under the situations of the limited connecting with your personal information and the non-collection of the Secure Web VPN app or any data stored on or transmitted from your device:
- * We do not know which user ever accessed a particular website or service.
- * We do not know which user was connected to the VPN at a specific time.
- * We do not know the set of original IP addresses of a specific user's device or the temporarily assigned network addresses.
If anyone would like to access to or try to compel Secure Web VPN to release user information based on any of the above, we cannot supply this information because the data don't exist.
For the purpose to fulfill our contractual obligations in good faith and to make you enjoy excellent VPN services, we collect the following information related to your VPN usage:
2.1 Information related to Apps and Apps versions:
We collect information related to which Apps and Apps version(s) you have activated. It makes our Support Team efficiently find out and eliminate technical issues for you.
2.2 Information related to Connection:
We collect information about whether a VPN connection is successful on a particular day (but not a specific time of the day), to which VPN location, and from which country/ISP. The minimal information allows us to provide efficient technical support to you, such as identifying connection problems, providing country-specific advice about how to use our VPN services, and to enable our engineers to identify and fix network issues.
2.3 Aggregate sum of data transferred (but not any websites you visit or any data transmitted from your device):
We collect information regarding the total amount of data transferred by a given user. It is one of our service principles to provide unlimited data transfer. However, if we notice that a single user pushes more traffic than thousands of others combined, which influences other users to enjoy high-quality service, we may seek the reason with the user.
We ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. Therefore, we do not know which user ever accessed a particular website or service.
2.4 Anonymous Data for Network Diagnostics, Study and Analysis:
When you become one of our users for the VPN services, with your permission, we collect minimal usage statistics and anonymized analysis data used for network diagnostics in our network operations tools, for the purpose to optimize network speeds and to let us identify problems related to specific apps, VPN servers, or ISPs. Learning and analyzing the statistics allows us to improve the quality of the services and the products. We ensure the information we receive is fully anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual users.
2.5 We will collect the following information:
- 1. Diagnostic information about if and how a VPN connection attempt failed.
- 2. Speed test data.
- 3. Crash reports, also without any personally identifiable information. These are handled in an anonymized form by third parties, dependent on the platform you are using.
ios: Firebase Crashlytics, owned by Google and Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy Firebase’s Privacy and Security documentation. Disable Apple’s crash reporting in iOS settings as described here. Please note that if it doesn’t display on your mobile means, it’s not allowed for your mobile.
On iOS, Apple's crash reporting can be turned off in iOS settings.
2.6 Conclusion:
We collect minimal usage statistics to maintain our quality of service. Although we provide service to users improving the network speed, we can't uniquely identify any specific behavior of any user, because thousands of users share one same location simultaneously to enjoy surfing the internet and the usage pattern overlaps with thousands of other customers who also connected to the same location on the same day.
Regarding the sensitive data, we've engineered out systems to categorically eliminate the storage of sensitive data. We never know HOW they have utilized our Service.
We stand by our firm commitment to our customers' privacy by not possessing any data related to a user's online activities.
