Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

1. Introduction

Clean VPN ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our VPN service.

Important Note: Clean VPN is currently an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) operated as an individual project. We are in the process of establishing a formal business entity and will update this policy accordingly once registration is complete.

By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 VPN Service Data (Zero-Log Policy)

We do NOT collect, store, or log:

  • Your IP address when connected to our VPN
  • Websites you visit
  • Data you transmit
  • DNS queries
  • Connection timestamps
  • Bandwidth usage
  • Traffic logs

This zero-log policy ensures that we cannot provide information about your online activities to anyone, including government agencies, because we simply don't have this information.

2.2 Website Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service may collect:

  • Pages visited on our website
  • Time spent on pages
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • General geographic location (country/city level)

This data is anonymized and used solely to improve our website experience. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using browser extensions or adjusting your browser settings.

3. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used only for:

  • Improving our website user experience
  • Understanding general usage patterns
  • Technical maintenance and optimization
  • Responding to user inquiries

We do NOT use your information for:

  • Marketing or advertising
  • Selling to third parties
  • Creating user profiles
  • Tracking across other websites

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties. The only exception is Google Analytics, which processes website usage data according to Google's privacy policy.

We may disclose information only if:

  • Required by law or legal process
  • Necessary to protect our rights or safety
  • With your explicit consent

Important: Due to our zero-log policy for VPN traffic, we cannot provide information about your VPN usage even if legally required, because we don't collect or store this data.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for website communications
  • Secure server infrastructure
  • Regular security updates and monitoring
  • Limited access to any collected data

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies primarily for Google Analytics. These cookies help us:

  • Understand website usage patterns
  • Improve user experience
  • Analyze website performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality but will not impact VPN service performance.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request information about data we collect
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt out of analytics tracking
  • Contact us with privacy concerns

8. Future Service Development

As Clean VPN evolves from MVP to a full service, we may:

  • Establish a formal business entity
  • Introduce user accounts and payment processing
  • Add new features and services

Our commitment: We will maintain our zero-log policy for VPN traffic and notify users of any significant privacy policy changes before implementation.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last modified" date. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For significant changes, we will provide additional notice through our website or other appropriate channels.
