Effective Date:May 3, 2026
Welcome to Toro VPN. This Privacy Policy outlines how your information is collected, used, and protected when you use our mobile application ("App"). By using Toro VPN, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Our Core Commitment: No-Logs Policy
Your privacy is our highest priority. **Toro VPN operates under a strict no-logs policy.**
When you use our VPN service, we **DO NOT** collect, store, or share:
- Your browsing history
- DNS queries
- Destination websites or IP addresses
- Downloaded data or file contents
- Connection timestamps or session durations
Your internet activity remains encrypted and completely private.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We have designed our systems to require minimal information. We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personal identifying information to use the core VPN service.
3. Information Collected Automatically
To provide and maintain the app, some non-identifying technical data may be processed automatically:
- **Device Information:** General device models, OS versions (e.g., Android version), and app versions to ensure compatibility.
- **Network State:** Minimal network state information is used locally to establish the WireGuard connection, manage auto-connect features, and detect network drops. This data never leaves your device in an identifiable manner.
- **Crash Reports:** If the app crashes, anonymous crash logs may be generated to help us fix bugs and improve performance.
4. Advertising and Third-Party Services
Toro VPN is supported by advertisements. We partner with third-party advertising networks to serve these ads.
Please note:
- We do not share your VPN traffic or any personal data with our advertising partners.
- Our app explicitly removes certain advertising tracking permissions (like `AD_ID`) from the device manifest to protect your privacy.
- Third-party ad networks may still collect basic, non-personal data (such as general location derived from your network, device type, and interaction with ads) as governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Permissions We Request
To function correctly on Android, Toro VPN requires the following permissions:
- **VPN Service (`BIND_VPN_SERVICE`):** Essential for creating the secure WireGuard tunnel to our servers.
- **Network Access (`INTERNET`, `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`, `CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE`):** Required to connect to the internet and detect when your device switches networks (e.g., from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data).
- **Notifications (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`):** Used strictly to show you the current status of your VPN connection in the notification drawer.
- **Foreground Service:** Required by Android to keep the VPN running reliably in the background without being killed by the system.
## 6. Data Security
We use modern, industry-standard WireGuard encryption protocols to secure your data in transit. While no system is 100% secure, WireGuard is recognized for its state-of-the-art cryptography and minimalistic, highly auditable codebase.
7. Children's Privacy
Toro VPN is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from anyone under this age limit. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it immediately.
## 8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or regulatory requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
