This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information we collect, how we use it, the permissions our app requires, and your rights under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
1. Introduction
ByCoon VPN is a virtual private network (VPN) app that enables secure and private internet access. Our primary goal is to provide our users with a safe browsing experience without tracking, collecting, or storing any personal data. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what permissions are needed for the app’s operation and the steps we take to ensure that your data and activities remain confidential.
2. Data Collection and Usage
We prioritize your privacy by not collecting or storing any personal data. Our VPN app operates under a strict no-logging policy, meaning we do not record any data transmitted over our network or store your browsing activities.
• No Activity Logs: We do not track or log the websites you visit or the data transmitted through the VPN connection.
Your data and online activities are completely private and are not monitored, stored, or shared with any third parties.
3. Permissions Required
To deliver a seamless and secure experience, ByCoon VPN requires the following permissions:
• Internet:
This permission allows the app to access the internet and establish secure VPN connections. Without this permission, the app cannot connect to VPN servers, making it essential for the app's functionality. The data sent through this connection remains encrypted and confidential.
• Bind VPN Service:
This permission enables the app to operate as a VPN service on your device, allowing you to route internet traffic securely. This ensures that all data transmitted is encrypted, providing you with privacy and anonymity while online.
• Foreground Service:
Our VPN requires this permission to keep the VPN connection active and stable while the app is running in the foreground. It displays a notification indicating the VPN status so that you can easily monitor your active VPN session, manage connections, or disconnect as needed.
• Foreground Service Special Use (Android 13 and above):
Starting with Android 13, this permission enhances the app’s ability to run as a foreground service. It optimizes performance by ensuring the VPN remains stable, allowing uninterrupted internet protection. This permission is solely for service functionality and does not collect or share any personal information.
• Post Notifications (Android 13 and above):
With this permission, the app can notify you of important updates regarding your VPN session, such as connection status, errors, or disconnection events. Notifications are a convenience feature and are only displayed when necessary. You can manage notification preferences directly through your device settings.
4. Data Security
ByCoon VPN employs encryption protocols that secure data transmitted through our VPN servers. This ensures that your online activities, data, and browsing remain private and protected from third-party interference.
