PRIVACY POLICY - Secure VPN

Last Updated: November 29, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Secure VPN. Your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. We are dedicated to being fully transparent about the information we handle, why we handle it, and how we protect it. This Privacy Policy explains the types of data associated with your use of our VPN services, including network connection protection, secure browsing, and access to restricted online content.

We strictly limit the data we collect to what is essential for delivering and improving core VPN performance. We do not collect or store any information that could directly identify your online activity, and we never sell, rent, or share your personal data with unauthorized third parties.

This policy also defines how you can exercise your rights regarding personal information, in accordance with applicable privacy laws and Google Play Developer Program policies.


2. What Data We Collect and Why

We only process information that is necessary to operate and improve core VPN functions such as secure connectivity, stable performance, and customer-requested features. We do not store or log your online browsing activities, connection destination history, or the content transmitted through the VPN.

2.1 Optional User Account Information

Some features may allow you to create an account. If you choose to do so, we may receive basic details such as your name, username, email address, and login credentials. This information is used solely for account creation, secure access, and subscription synchronization across devices.

2.2 Payment and Subscription Data

When you make a purchase (for example, upgrading to a premium subscription), payment details are processed securely by trusted payment providers such as Google Play Billing. We do not store full payment card numbers. We may receive related transaction details — like purchase date, currency, and subscription type — to fulfil subscription services and manage refunds where applicable.

2.3 Customer Support Communications

If you contact us for help, we may collect information you provide — such as your email address, device details, and diagnostic information — to investigate and resolve the issue efficiently.

2.4 Diagnostic and Connection Performance Data

To maintain a stable and reliable VPN experience, we may gather anonymized technical data such as:

2.5 Device and Network Information

To optimize compatibility and display ads for free users, we may collect:

2.6 IP Address and Approximate Location

Your IP address may be temporarily processed to:

2.7 Advertising Identifiers (Free Version Only)

If you use the free version of the app, trusted third-party advertising partners may access advertising identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID) for delivering limited, non-personalized ads. You may reset or disable these identifiers through your device settings.

2.8 Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and support pages may use cookies or similar tracking tools to provide essential functionality and understand usage patterns. Details are available in Section 5 – Cookie Policy.

🔐 Data We Do Not Collect — Important for VPN Compliance

To reinforce user trust and align with Google Play policy:

We do not collect, store, or monitor your browsing history, VPN traffic logs, DNS queries, or the specific applications, websites, or services you access through the VPN.


3. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect solely to operate, protect, and improve the features of Secure VPN. Every data processing activity has a defined purpose, and we do not use VPN connection data to track browsing activity or identify what users do online.

Here is how your information is used:

We do not use VPN connection data to build profiles of your browsing behavior.


4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We share only the minimum necessary data with trusted third-party service providers for specific purposes related to app functionality, diagnostics, analytics, advertising, and legal compliance.

4.1 Service Providers and Partners

The following third-party services may receive limited and anonymized data as part of their operational roles:

All third-party services are required to comply with applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR and CCPA.

4.2 Legal Compliance

We may disclose data when required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, such as in response to a valid court order or subpoena.

4.3 External Links

The application may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated or controlled by us. We do not assume responsibility for the content or privacy practices of such third-party sites. We encourage users to review the respective privacy policies before sharing any personal information on external platforms.


5. Age Requirements

Our services are designed for use by adults. Individuals under 13 years of age (or the minimum age permitted in their region) are not permitted to use the application. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children.

If we discover that a minor has used our services or shared personal data with us, we will take necessary steps to delete the information and restrict access, as required by applicable child protection and privacy laws.


6. Our Commitment to VPN Privacy & Security

Your trust in our privacy protection is essential to how we operate. We want to be absolutely clear on the following points:

6.1 No Browsing Activity Logging

We do not:

Any communication you choose to initiate with us (e.g., support requests) is handled separately and only if you identify yourself voluntarily.

6.2 Strong Encryption and Connection Security

All data passing through the VPN tunnel is encrypted. We do not inspect, store, or analyze  the content of your online activity while connected.

6.3 No Data Available for External Requests

Because we do not collect activity logs tied to your identity:

Even if compelled by law enforcement to provide records of user online activity, we have no browsing data to share.

6.4 Ads in Free Version — With Clear Limits

If you use the free version, advertising partners may collect:

Advertising is never based on your VPN browsing activity.

Users can disable or reset advertising identifiers through device privacy settings.

6.5 Premium Version — No Advertising

Paid subscribers enjoy:


7. Advertising in the Free Version

The free version of Secure VPN may display advertisements using approved third-party advertising networks. We do not log or share any VPN browsing content for advertising purposes.

Advertising partners may automatically receive limited, device-related information required to deliver and measure ads, such as:

These advertising networks may personalize ads based on this non-VPN usage information. You may notice the AdChoices icon on some ads, which allows you to learn more about why the ad was shown and how to opt out of interest-based advertising.

If you choose to disable personalized ads, you will still see occasional non-personalized advertisements. The app will continue to work even if you use ad-blocking tools, though advertising helps support the free service experience.

We partner only with reputable advertising providers that operate under stringent data protection obligations and comply with applicable privacy regulations. More details about their specific data practices can be found in the privacy notices published by each advertising partner.

Paid subscribers enjoy an ad-free experience with no ad-related data shared.


8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Some elements of our services — particularly our website and support tools — may use tracking technologies to enable essential functionality and help us understand how users interact with our content.

These technologies include, but are not limited to:

Any information collected through these tools is handled in a manner that does not reveal your identity or your activity within the VPN service.

8.1 Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to enhance functionality and user experience. We may use cookies for purposes such as:

You may manage or disable cookies through your device or browser settings. Some features may not operate correctly if certain cookies are blocked.

8.2 SDKs and Integrated Tools

Third-party SDKs may be included in the mobile app to support:

These partners may receive limited information such as:

All SDKs operate under contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations.

8.3 Pixels, Tags, and Other Tracking Technologies

Some pages and communications may include pixel tags or similar tools that allow us to see whether a message was opened or a feature was accessed. This helps improve the relevance and usability of communications.

These technologies never monitor or analyze your VPN traffic.

8.4 Your Choices and Controls

You can manage cookie and advertising settings directly through your device or browser, including:

If you choose to disable tracking technologies, the VPN service will continue to operate, although some promotional or website features may be limited.


9. How We Protect Your Data

We apply industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to keep your personal information secure. These protections include secure infrastructure, restricted internal access, and continuous monitoring for potential vulnerabilities.

Only authorized personnel who need access to perform their job duties are permitted to handle personal information. While we maintain strong safeguards, no security practice can guarantee complete protection against all risks. We continually update our procedures to address emerging threats and enhance resiliency.

 

10. International Data Transfers

Because we operate globally, your personal information may be processed in countries outside your place of residence. These destinations may have different data protection laws than those in your region.

When transferring data across borders — including transfers from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland — we use approved legal safeguards such as:

You may contact us for more information on the safeguards we use to protect transferred information.

 

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide VPN services, comply with legal obligations, and fulfil legitimate security and accountability purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the context in which it is processed — for example, maintaining records to prevent fraud or manage subscription entitlements.

If you delete your account or no longer use the service, we will securely remove or anonymize your personal information unless continued retention is legally required. In some cases, securely stored backup copies may remain temporarily as part of routine disaster recovery systems.

We never store or retain any logs of your VPN browsing activity.
 Once the VPN session ends, we do not keep information that could associate you with what you accessed online.


12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable privacy regulations, you may have certain rights over the personal information we process about you. These may include the ability to:

These rights may vary based on regional legal requirements, and certain requests may be limited when necessary to comply with legal, security, or service obligations.

How to exercise your rights

You may be able to manage some privacy choices directly in the app — for example:

For requests that require direct support — such as account deletion or exercising your formal data protection rights — please contact us using the details provided in the “Contact Us” section.

Before processing certain requests, we may ask you to verify your identity as permitted by law to protect your privacy and security.

If you close your account, we may retain a limited amount of information when required for legal compliance, fraud prevention, financial record keeping, or other legitimate business needs.


13. Additional Privacy Information for U.S. Residents

Residents of certain U.S. states — including California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and Nevada — may be entitled to additional rights under local privacy laws. Subject to verification and applicable exceptions, these rights may include:

Eligible users may also delegate an authorized agent to submit a request on their behalf, subject to verification requirements.

Nevada Residents

We do not sell personal information under Nevada law, but residents may request to opt-out of any future potential sale using the contact details provided below.

Do Not Track Signals

There is currently no industry standard for responding to browser-based “Do Not Track” signals, so our services do not alter their behaviour in response to such settings.

If you would like to make a rights request, please refer to the Contact Us section. We may need to confirm your identity before completing your request. In some circumstances, certain data must be retained for legitimate legal or security reasons.

 

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates in our services, legal requirements, or industry practices. When changes are made, we will post the updated version in the app and on our website, along with the revised “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy.

If a modification significantly impacts your privacy rights or how we handle personal information, we will provide additional notice where appropriate — for example, by displaying an in-app message or sending an email to registered users.

If you do not agree with the updated terms, you may discontinue use of the service and request account deletion at any time. Continued use of Secure VPN after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy means you acknowledge and accept the updated practices.
