nextapps.tech provides Next Browser & VPN. This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles information when you browse websites, use private tabs, save bookmarks, download files, scan QR codes, manage privacy controls, or connect to a supported VPN server.
This policy covers the current Android and iOS app. Websites, search engines, DNS providers, VPN infrastructure, and external apps may handle information under their own privacy policies.
The app stores information locally to provide its features, including:
Browsing history: Website addresses, page titles, visit times, and available favicon addresses. The app retains up to 500 history entries as new visits are recorded. Website addresses may contain search terms or other information.
Regular tabs: Tab addresses, titles, and browsing settings used to restore regular tabs.
Bookmarks and favourites: Website addresses, names, folders, and other information you choose to save.
Downloads: Source addresses, filenames, local file locations, creation times, file sizes, transfer progress, status, and error information. Downloaded files are stored on your device.
Preferences: App settings, selected VPN server, connection preferences, privacy profiles, website-specific protection and permission choices, and the versioned VPN disclosure acknowledgement.
Privacy statistics: Local blocked-request counts and protected-page totals. The app retains up to the 30 most recent recorded daily totals. These totals exclude private page loads and do not contain visited addresses, page titles, search queries, or blocked domains.
VPN configuration: Server connection details, connection identifiers, and authentication or cryptographic configuration needed to establish the tunnel.
Regular-tab previews may be held temporarily in memory for the tab switcher. The app does not capture private-tab previews.
The current app does not include account registration, cloud synchronisation, an advertising SDK, or an app analytics SDK. It does not automatically upload local browsing records to a developer-operated analytics or reporting service.
When you open a website, your device sends requests to that website and any services it loads. Those services may receive:
Your public IP address, which may be the VPN exit address when traffic uses the VPN.
The requested website address and request time.
Browser and device information included in network requests.
Cookies and other website identifiers.
Information you enter, upload, or submit to the website.
When address-bar input is treated as a search, the app sends the search terms to Google Search.
Shortcuts and favourites for services such as Google, YouTube, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Yahoo open those services as websites. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Website icons may be downloaded from addresses supplied by the page. These addresses may belong to the website or a third-party host. Icon requests expose ordinary network-request information to the receiving host.
Websites can store cookies, local storage, session storage, cached content, and other website data through the device’s WebView.
The app provides supported privacy controls, including request blocking, JavaScript settings, third-party-cookie controls, and website permission choices. Protection depends on your selected settings, the platform, and the requests made by the website.
Privacy Shield does not guarantee that every advertisement, tracker, or unwanted request will be blocked.
The app enables supported platform security features. Website security checks may involve services used by Android WebView or Apple’s website-security features.
Private tabs are excluded from saved tab restoration and the app’s browsing-history records. Closing a private tab clears its WebView navigation history and, on Android, supported form data.
Android limitation: Private tabs share the process-wide WebView cookie and website-storage environment with regular tabs. Closing a private tab does not erase this shared data. Android private browsing therefore does not provide complete cookie or website-storage isolation.
iOS: Private tabs use a non-persistent website data store.
Bookmarks, downloaded files, download records, and information you deliberately share or copy may remain after a private tab is closed.
Private browsing does not make you anonymous to websites, your network provider, or VPN infrastructure.
On supported devices, connecting to the VPN routes device network traffic through the configured VPN server. The operating system requests VPN authorisation.
An active VPN connection may continue while the app is in the background. Your device may display a VPN indicator or foreground-service notification.
The VPN server processes connections and routed traffic. Its operator may be able to observe your originating IP address, connection times, traffic volumes, destination metadata, and unencrypted traffic.
HTTPS provides separate encryption between your device and the destination website. A VPN does not replace HTTPS or prevent websites from identifying you through account logins, cookies, or information you submit.
The app maintains local connection information such as the selected server, connection start time, reconnect count, and error state.
Android VPN configuration envelopes and imported credentials use platform-protected secure storage. The iOS shared-profile version packages shared connection profiles with the app and installs them into device-only Keychain storage shared with the VPN extension after Apple verifies an active subscription. Subscription status is checked in the app; the shared VPN servers do not independently validate each customer’s Apple subscription.
When the VPN is active, network information must be processed temporarily to establish and route your connection. This may include your source IP address, destination network information, connection state, traffic volumes, and protocol-related information.
Our operated VPN servers are configured not to retain routine Xray access logs of normal VPN activity.
Limited technical error information may still be retained for service reliability and troubleshooting.
The current operated-server configuration was manually verified by the operator outside the app workspace: USA, France, and Poland use access logging set to none and log level error; the former France and Poland access logs were cleared. USA also disables Xray DNS logging and suppresses Xray service stdout and stderr that previously contained connection-level REALITY details.
This is not a guarantee that no infrastructure anywhere can observe or retain information. Hosting providers, networking infrastructure, operating-system providers, DNS providers, websites, and other third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and practices.
The current Android and iOS VPN configurations use Cloudflare and Google DNS services, including DNS-over-HTTPS endpoints at 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.
DNS providers receive applicable domain-resolution requests through the configured tunnel and handle them under their own policies.
On Android, the app checks VPN connectivity using Cloudflare’s cdn-cgi/trace endpoint, with Google’s generate_204 endpoint as a fallback. Checks occur when establishing a connection and periodically while connected, normally about every 30 seconds after the previous successful check.
On iOS, the current app requests Cloudflare’s cdn-cgi/trace endpoint after establishing a connection and reads the response to verify the selected country exit.
These requests expose ordinary network metadata, such as the VPN exit IP address and request time. They do not include the app’s saved browsing-history records or search terms.
Downloading a file sends a request to the file host.
To support downloads from websites where you are signed in, the app can pass applicable website cookies and browser user-agent information to the native downloader. The file host receives that information as part of the request.
Android downloads use the system DownloadManager and app-specific external Downloads storage. iOS downloads use a background URLSession and app-owned Documents/Downloads storage.
Downloads may continue while the app is backgrounded, subject to operating-system restrictions. iOS may cancel background transfers when you force-quit the app.
Opening, exporting, or sharing a downloaded file gives the selected application access to that file. Files downloaded from private tabs may remain after those tabs are closed.
QR scanning: The app uses the camera when you activate QR scanning and grant permission. QR decoding occurs on your device. The scanner does not include an automatic camera-image upload feature.
Opening or searching a scanned result sends that result to the destination website or search provider.
Website permissions: Websites may request camera, microphone, or location access. Access depends on the website permission decision and applicable operating-system permissions. If you grant access, the requesting website may receive and process that information under its own privacy policy.
You can revoke device permissions in your device settings and review supported website permission choices in the app.
The current app does not require access to your contacts or SMS messages.
When you share a page or file, open an external application, or copy information:
The selected application receives the information needed for that action.
Copied information is placed on the device clipboard.
Exported or shared files may be stored outside the app.
The receiving application and operating system control their subsequent handling of that information.
The current app does not integrate an advertising SDK, behavioural analytics SDK, or cloud account service. When subscription billing is configured, Apple or Google handles payment. On iOS, the app checks Apple-verified StoreKit entitlements. On Android, a configured verification service checks paid access, as described below.
There is no implemented feature that sells local browser records or sends them to an advertising network.
Websites you visit may independently display advertisements, use tracking technologies, or collect analytics.
Information still leaves your device to carry out browsing, searches, DNS requests, VPN connections, downloads, and sharing actions described in this policy.
If you contact contact@nextapps.tech, any information you include in your message is provided directly to nextapps.tech. This may include your email address, message contents, attachments, or diagnostic information you choose to send.
Do not send passwords, VPN credentials, or unnecessary sensitive information.
For questions about the handling or deletion of correspondence you have sent, contact contact@nextapps.tech. Deleting local app data does not delete an email you previously sent.
Local history, bookmarks, favourites, settings, website data, and download records remain until removed, cleared, replaced, or otherwise managed by the app or operating system.
History is limited to up to 500 entries as new visits are recorded. Saved daily privacy statistics are limited to the 30 most recent recorded daily totals.
You can use supported app controls to:
Clear browsing history.
Remove bookmarks and favourites.
Manage downloaded files and download records.
Clear cookies.
Manage supported site data and permissions.
Close private tabs.
Disconnect the VPN.
Clearing history does not automatically remove cookies, website storage, bookmarks, restored tabs, or downloaded files.
Clearing cookies does not remove every type of website storage or cache. Supported site-data controls can clear accessible local and session storage for the current page and applicable cookies, but cannot guarantee removal of every cache or storage mechanism used by a website.
Clearing app data or uninstalling may remove local app information, subject to operating-system backup, file-storage, and secure-storage behaviour. Keychain items, backups, exported files, and copies held by other apps may persist.
Deleting information locally does not delete information already received by websites, search providers, DNS services, VPN operators, or other external services. Their retention and deletion procedures are separate.
The app uses operating-system storage protections and supported secure storage for VPN configuration information.
Local browsing records and preferences are not all separately encrypted by the app.
Your device security, operating-system configuration, and the services you use affect the protection of your information. No software, storage system, or network connection can guarantee complete security.
Websites, search providers, DNS services, VPN servers, and external applications may process information in countries other than your own.
The location of processing depends on the services and VPN server used. The current VPN connection verification includes a selected-country exit check.
The current app does not ask for a date of birth or perform age verification.
Websites and external services opened through the app may have their own age requirements and children’s privacy policies.
If you believe information concerning a child has been provided directly to nextapps.tech, contact contact@nextapps.tech with your concern or deletion request.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, or obtain a copy of personal information. You may also have rights to object to processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.
Local browser records can generally be managed through the app and device controls. The current app does not maintain a developer-operated cloud copy of those records.
Revoking a permission prevents future use of that permission but does not automatically delete information already received by a website or other service.
For requests concerning information provided directly to nextapps.tech, contact contact@nextapps.tech. For information held by an external service, contact that service.
We may update this policy as app features or information-handling practices change. The “Last updated” date will identify the latest revision.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide notice of material changes and obtain any required consent before new processing begins.
Before VPN purchase or use, the app presents an on-screen explanation of data handling. Selecting “I understand and continue” saves a versioned acknowledgement on your device. Leaving the screen does not enable VPN or open checkout. A materially changed disclosure should require acknowledgement again.
When billing is configured, Apple or Google processes subscription payments. The US annual VPN plan is priced at US$19 per year; your store shows the final localized price and terms before you pay. Payment is charged to your store account on confirmation. The subscription renews annually unless cancelled according to the store’s renewal deadline. On Apple devices, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your store account settings. Cancelling renewal does not delete local browser records or automatically request a refund.
On iOS, the app checks Apple-verified StoreKit current entitlements for the annual product, expiration, revocation, and upgrade status. It does not send an iOS receipt to a separate developer-operated verification endpoint or save one in the app’s secure receipt store. Apple manages StoreKit transaction information on the device. On Android, when billing is configured, the app sends the store purchase token, product ID, purchase ID, and store source to the configured purchase-verification service. That service also receives ordinary request metadata, such as the requesting IP address. Verification requests do not include saved browsing history. The app does not receive your payment-card number from Apple or Google.
Android purchase proof is saved in secure device storage and rechecked before VPN operations. It may remain until cleared by the app or operating system; cancelling renewal does not itself erase it. On iOS, paid access is rechecked using Apple-verified StoreKit entitlements. An expired, revoked, or unverifiable subscription does not unlock VPN access. Use Restore purchases on the subscription screen with the store account used for purchase; restored access is checked using StoreKit on iOS or the configured verification service on Android.
Store providers handle transactions under their own policies. iOS checkout uses the configured Apple annual product and depends on App Store availability and approval. Android billing remains disabled until a Google product and HTTPS verification service are configured. The Android verification-service operator, hosting location, token and request-metadata retention, and deletion procedures have not yet been configured or verified. Those service details must be disclosed before enabling Android live sales. For privacy questions, contact contact@nextapps.tech.
For Apple distribution, the subscription page links to Apple’s Standard Terms of Use (EULA).
