Surflare is committed to protecting your privacy. We want you to understand what information we collect, what we don’t collect, and how we collect, use, and store information.
We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. We also never store connection logs, meaning no logs of your IP address, your outgoing VPN IP address, connection timestamp, or session duration.
Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class VPN service at scale. We designed our systems to not have sensitive data about our customers; even when compelled, we cannot provide data that we do not possess.
This privacy policy will help you understand how Surflare ( “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and stores information.
