Privacy Policy
Last updated: Oct 2024

1. Introduction

At Edge VPN – Fast & Secure, we prioritize the protection of your privacy and take all necessary steps to ensure your data remains safe. This Privacy Policy outlines our data collection, usage, and protection practices when you use our app and related services (collectively, the “Services”). Our mission is to provide a secure and private browsing experience without compromising your personal data.

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy governs all aspects of data collection and usage related to Edge VPN – Fast & Secure. It does not cover any external websites, products, or applications that may be linked from our app. We advise reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services before sharing your personal data with them, as we are not responsible for their practices.

3. Data Collection and Usage

We focus on providing you with privacy-first Services, meaning no personal data is required to use Edge VPN. Here’s what we collect and why:

a. Anonymous Information (“Non-personal Data”)
Our app automatically collects certain non-identifiable information when you interact with it. This includes details such as:

• Device type and operating system version
• Preferred language settings
• Google Advertising ID (used for internal analytics and serving non-personalized ads)
• Connection type (e.g., Wi-Fi or mobile data)
• Time and date of access
• Mobile network provider (if applicable)

This anonymous information helps us ensure compatibility with your device and improve the performance and user experience of our Services.

b. Connection and Diagnostic Data
To enhance the reliability and performance of Edge VPN – Fast & Secure, we collect non-personal connection data. This allows us to analyze how our VPN service is used without identifying specific users. For instance:

• Connection Attempts: Information on how often connection attempts are made and from which country (based on regional data, not your IP address). This helps us monitor and adjust our server infrastructure to meet user demand.
• Connection Success/Failure Logs: We collect anonymized data about successful or failed connection attempts to help us diagnose network issues and enhance service reliability. These logs do not include your browsing data or IP addresses.

c. Usage Data (Strict No-Logs Policy)
Edge VPN – Fast & Secure follows a strict no-logs policy. We do NOT collect or monitor any of the following data:

• Browsing activity or the websites you visit.
• Content of your internet traffic or communications.
• User search queries, online behavior, or downloads.
• DNS queries or IP addresses that could identify you.

We cannot, under any circumstances, view or track your activity inside the VPN tunnel. This means we do not know who you are, what sites you visit, or what you do while connected to our VPN.

d. Aggregated Statistics
In certain cases, we may use aggregated, anonymous statistical data for internal analytics or reporting purposes. This data does not contain any information that could identify you or trace your online activities. It is purely used to improve our app’s features, understand overall usage patterns, and optimize server loads.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are designed for users aged 16 and older. If you are under 18, we recommend that you review this Privacy Policy with your parent or legal guardian to understand how your data is handled. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered data from children under this age, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain anonymized, non-personal data for as long as it is necessary to provide our Services and fulfill our legal obligations. However, since we do not collect personal information or maintain any identifiable logs, there is minimal data retention associated with your use of Edge VPN – Fast & Secure. In the event we collect certain diagnostic data for troubleshooting or maintenance purposes, it will be anonymized and deleted as soon as it is no longer required.

Should you request, we are able to delete any anonymized information associated with your device at your request. Since we do not collect personal data, there is no option to delete personal accounts or identifiable information.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We employ strong encryption technologies and industry-standard security measures to ensure the security of any non-personal information we collect. Your connection is encrypted using secure protocols, making it virtually impossible for third parties to intercept your traffic or identify your online activities.

We also regularly review our security protocols and update our practices to protect against emerging threats. Our no-logs policy ensures that even in the rare event of a security breach, no identifiable user data would be at risk.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

To support the operation of our Services, we may collaborate with trusted third-party service providers who assist in analytics, network performance monitoring, or advertisement delivery. These third-party partners may collect anonymized data (such as Google Advertising ID), but they are prohibited from tracking any personal information or monitoring your online activities. We carefully select partners who adhere to strict privacy and security standards.

8. Policy Updates

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. All updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will be effective immediately upon posting. The “last updated” date at the top of this document indicates when the latest changes were made. By continuing to use Edge VPN – Fast & Secure after updates are made, you accept the new terms of this Privacy Policy.

9. Your Privacy Rights

While we do not collect personal information, you have the right to request the deletion or correction of any non-personal data that may have been inadvertently collected. Should you have any concerns regarding your data, please reach out to us, and we will address your concerns promptly.
