Where your traffic goes
When you are connected, your internet traffic goes through a free public OpenVPN server chosen from a list, for example relays of the VPN Gate academic project (University of Tsukuba, Japan) or VPNBook. We do not own or control these servers. Their operators can see traffic that the website itself does not encrypt; most websites use HTTPS, which they cannot read. VPN Gate keeps connection records (not your traffic) for three months or more and may hand them to authorities when the law requires it. Please do not use the app for anything where this would put you at risk.
What the app sends to us
- Downloading the server list and updates. The app downloads a signed list of servers and, in the version from our website, checks for app updates. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) sees the IP address of these requests, as with any website.
- Anonymous connection results (you can turn this off in Settings): which server worked or failed, at which step it stopped, how long connecting took, the download speed through the VPN (a short test of about 300 KB, at most every 6 hours), the country, approximate city and internet provider (its network number) of your connection, the type of network (Wi-Fi or mobile, and the mobile operator code), and a scrambled network code that changes every month and cannot be turned back into your network. No IP address, no Wi-Fi name, no device ID and nothing that identifies you.
- Internet provider check. When you connect, the app asks our server which internet provider and approximate city your connection belongs to. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) answers from your IP address; we never store that address.
What stays on your phone
Your language, your chosen location, and a short history of which servers worked on which network (stored as an anonymous code for the network, never its name). It never leaves your phone, and uninstalling the app deletes it.
Ads
The app is free because it shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, and information about your device and the ads you see, as described in how Google uses information from apps that use its services. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings, Google, Ads). In the EEA and the UK, the app asks for your consent first, and you can change your choice any time in Settings, Ad privacy choices. Ads load through the VPN when you are connected; we never see what the ads collect.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13.
