Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2nd 2024
Welcome
Security and privacy are at the heart of what we do. Accordingly, we
think it’s important to be transparent about what we do with your
information and how we handle it. This Privacy Policy describes how
we process and handle data provided to us in connection with your
use of our products, services, apps, and websites that link to this
policy (we refer to these collectively as our “services”).
This policy uses the term “personal data” to refer to information
that is related to an identified or identifiable natural person and
is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law.
Who are we?
This policy covers the data processing practices of Free VPN Planet.
In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the particular
company from the list above that provides you with the services and
is responsible for handling your data by this policy. For mobile
apps, you can identify which company this is by looking at which
company is listed as offering the app on the download page for that
app or reviewing its terms of service.
1. What information do we collect about you?
This section describes the various types of information we collect
from and about you. This information is not collected in all
situations, but only in specific situations.
-
1.1. Information you provide to us
-
Communications. You may choose to provide us with information,
your email in particular, when you communicate with us (e.g.
via email for support or to inquire about our services).
-
1.2. Information collected when you use our services
-
Usage information. We collect information about how you
interact with our services, such as how much bandwidth you
use, and when and for how long you use our services.
-
Device information. We collect information from and about the
device you use to access our services. For example, we may
collect device identifiers, browser types, device types and
settings, operating system versions, mobile, wireless, and
other network information (such as internet service provider
name, carrier name and signal strength), and application
version numbers.
-
Diagnostic information. We may collect information about the
nature of the requests that you make to our servers (such as
what is being requested, information about the device and app
used to make the request, timestamps, and referring URLs).
However, we do not log any information that associates your
identity with your VPN browsing activity. We do not maintain
any records that show what you were browsing or accessing
through a VPN connection.
-
Location information. We may collect your location information
based on a variety of sources, such as your device’s GPS or by
calculating an approximate latitude and longitude based on
your IP address.
We use the information we collect for various purposes described
below.
-
To provide, maintain, troubleshoot, and support our services.
We use your information for this purpose on the basis that it
is required to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
Examples: using information about how much bandwidth you use
and how long you use our services in order to provide the
services in accordance with a plan to which you have
subscribed; using threat and device information to determine
whether certain items pose a potential security threat; using
location information to connect you to the nearest and fastest
VPN server; and using usage information to troubleshoot a
problem you report with our services and to ensure the proper
functioning of our services.
-
To communicate with users and prospective users. We use your
information to communicate with you, including by responding
to your requests. We may do this in order to fulfil our
contract with you because you consented to the communication,
or because we have a legitimate interest in providing you with
information about our services.
-
To improve our services. We want to offer you the best
services and user experiences we can, so we have a legitimate
interest in continually improving and optimizing our services.
To do so, we use your information to understand how users
interact with our services. Examples: we analyze certain
usage, device, and diagnostic information to understand
aggregated usage trends and user engagement with our services
(and, for example, invest in technical infrastructure to
better serve regions with increasing user demand); we may use
device and threat information to conduct spam, threat, and
other scientific research to improve our threat detection
capabilities.
-
To prevent harm or liability. We may use information for
security purposes (such as to investigate security issues or
to monitor and prevent fraud) and to prevent abuse. We may do
this to comply with our legal obligations, to protect an
individual’s vital interests, or because we have a legitimate
interest in preventing harm or liability to us and our users.
For example, we may use usage, and device information to
determine if an entity is engaging in abusive or unauthorized
activity in connection with our services.
-
2. Who do we share your information with and why?
-
We do not share your information with any third parties. Your
privacy is our utmost priority, and we ensure that any
information you provide, such as your valid email address
during support requests, is kept confidential.
-
3. Tracking Technologies & Cookies

We do not use any cookies on our website for any of the
following reasons: to track user activity, to personalize
content, to analyze website performance, or to serve targeted
advertisements. Furthermore, we do not collect, store, or

4. Security

Our service is secure, and we employ a range of
administrative, organizational, technical, and physical
safeguards to protect your connection data against

store your personal information or share it with third
parties. Your privacy is our top priority, and we are
committed to maintaining the highest standards of data
protection.
-
5. Data Retention
-
We do not store any data on users. When a user submits a help
request, we request only a minimum amount of information,
specifically a valid email address. We do not retain any
personal data beyond what is necessary for sending a help
request, ensuring that your privacy is fully protected.
-
6. Age Restrictions

Our services have no age restrictions as we do not collect any
personal data and do not expose any age-restricted content. We
may not know the age of our users since no personal data is
provided.
