What we collect, and what we don't
Every VPN asks you to trust it with your traffic. Here's the full list, in plain words.
What the app collects
All of it is linked to your app ID, none of it is used to track you across other apps or sites.
Device ID
An identifier the app creates for your install. Used for subscriptions and analytics, never for ads.
Processed by Apphud, Amplitude
Purchase history
Which plan you have and when it renews. Comes from Apple.

How you use the app
Which screens you open and which buttons you tap, so we can see where people get stuck.

What we don't keep
Our servers have to handle your traffic to carry it. They don't write down where it goes.
- The sites and apps you use through the VPN
- Your DNS queries
- The content of your traffic
- Your name, email, phone number or contacts
- Your precise location
- Anything used for advertising or tracking you across other companies' apps
Your IP address
When you first open the app, it asks our server what your connection looks like from outside: your IP address, city and provider. The app shows this to you and uses it to pick a nearby server. The server answers and forgets it: the address and the result aren't stored or logged.
When you're connected, our VPN server necessarily sees your IP address, because that's where it sends your traffic back. It isn't kept after the connection ends.
The same goes for the My IP tool on this website.
