Privacy Policy for PlanckVPN

PlanckVPN operates under a strict No-Logs Policy regarding your online activity. The Service is designed so that VPN traffic content is not monitored, recorded, or stored. PlanckVPN does not collect or log browsing history, DNS queries, destination traffic, data content, or IP addresses associated with your activity inside the encrypted VPN tunnel. Once your connection is established, your digital footprint within the tunnel is invisible to us.

To provide a seamless, high-performance experience and to assign the most geographically appropriate server gateways, PlanckVPN processes limited connection metadata, such as your originating public IP address (temporarily, to facilitate the initial connection and routing) and non-identifying session information like device type and operating system version. This data is handled in a way that prevents it from being correlated with the specific activities you perform while connected to the Service.

This data:

• —Is processed only to enable and stabilize your connection
• —Is not correlated with VPN tunnel activity
• —Is handled under privacy-by-design architectures

Any limited connection metadata is processed for the following service-first reasons: dynamic server allocation to ensure you are connected to the lowest-latency server available; abuse prevention, protecting our infrastructure from large-scale automated attacks (DDoS) and ensuring service availability for all users; and quality assurance, monitoring aggregate performance metrics to identify server-side issues before they impact the user experience.

Our free tier utilizes Google AdMob to remain sustainable. AdMob may use device identifiers to serve relevant ads. There is a strict “air-gap” between the advertising SDK and the VPN tunnel — your VPN traffic and your ad profile are never linked, as PlanckVPN does not have access to the former to provide to the latter.

As an entity managed by security professionals, PlanckVPN employs industry-leading encryption and privacy-by-design architectures. All data transmitted through the Service is protected by robust cryptographic standards to ensure that even in the event of intercept, your data remains indecipherable.

As the landscape of cybersecurity and global regulations evolves, PlanckVPN reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy to reflect technical improvements or legal requirements. While our operational protocols may be updated to improve service delivery, our core mandate — the refusal to log user traffic or monitor individual browsing behavior within the encrypted tunnel — remains an unalterable pillar of PlanckVPN.

We believe in open communication. If you have any questions regarding our routing logic, how we handle server assignments, or this Privacy Policy in general, please reach out:
