Complete details on each type of Personal Data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or by specific explanation texts displayed prior to the Data collection.
Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using this Application.
Unless specified otherwise, all Data requested by this Application is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for this Application to provide its services. In cases where this Application specifically states that some Data is not mandatory, Users are free not to communicate this Data without consequences to the availability or the functioning of the Service.
Users who are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory are welcome to contact the Owner.
Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools — by this Application or by the owners of third-party services used by this Application serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document.
Users are responsible for any third-party Personal Data obtained, published or shared through this Application.
VPN service
When the User connects to a VPN server, the User's device establishes an encrypted tunnel with that server. To provide the connection, the server processes the User's IP address and the traffic passing through the tunnel. The traffic is transmitted in real time and is not stored.
What the VPN servers keep
- the User's IP address;
- server error logs, that is, technical records of failures, which may include the time of the event and the IP address.
This data is kept for no longer than 30 days and is then deleted. It is used solely to protect the Service and its Users against abuse, such as network attacks, spam and other unlawful use of the Service. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Owner in keeping the Service secure.
What the VPN servers do not keep
- the content of the User's traffic;
- the websites, apps and services the User visits through the VPN;
- DNS queries.
The traffic passing through the VPN is not used for advertising or analytics and is not sold or shared with third parties. Because the Owner does not record the content of the traffic or the websites, apps and services the User visits, it has no such information to provide to anyone, including public authorities.
The third-party services described in this document work inside this Application and have no access to the traffic of other apps and websites that passes through the VPN.
