Privacy Policy

At CopVPN, we’re your digital privacy champions, committed to safeguarding your personal information with a fortress-like commitment. Think of using our services as moving through the internet with an invisibility cloak. What are your browsing habits, destinations, and searches? It is entirely off our radar — we don’t monitor, log, or store any of it.

Diving deeper, we leave our digital footprints. No connection logs mean no traces of your IP address or browsing session length. And when it comes to payments, it’s as if they’re done with a magic wand – your credit card details remain unseen by us, and we never connect your financial transactions to your online activities within CopVPN.

Using CopVPN is like exploring the digital world with a guardian angel who respects your privacy to the utmost.

When it comes time to part ways with your data, we do so responsibly. If there’s no longer a legal reason to keep your information, we’ll safely dispose of it or anonymize it beyond recognition. We use deletion methods for digital data that ensure it can’t be reconstructed or recovered because your privacy is our priority.

Protecting the Children’s Data 

At CopVPN, we’re committed to safeguarding the privacy of young internet users. We consciously do not collect or seek out personal information from individuals under 18. If you’re younger than 18, we respectfully ask that you refrain from providing us with any personal details.

Should we discover that we’ve inadvertently collected data from someone under the age of 18, we will act swiftly to remove such information from our systems. Protecting the privacy of our younger users is a responsibility we take seriously, ensuring a safe and secure online environment for all.

Understanding Advertising at CopVPN

In the digital world, ads help keep the lights on, and at CopVPN, we’re transparent about how advertising plays a role in our services. We might receive some information about you, such as cookie IDs, mobile device IDs, and advertising IDs, from our advertising partners. If you’re using our Trust DNS app, we also gather data on app events and the type of browser, network, or device you’re using.

Why do we collect this information? It’s all about making the ads and promotional messages you see more relevant to you. Whether it’s interest-based advertising that aligns with your online preferences or account-based advertising tailored to your profile, our goal is to enhance your online experience.

The legal grounding for processing this information is our legitimate interest in delivering ads that matter to you and attributing sales effectively. We believe in balancing our business needs with your privacy rights, ensuring a harmonious online environment.

Navigating Legalities

At CopVPN, navigating through the maze of accounting, payment, and legal requirements is a part of our commitment to both compliance and your privacy. Here’s how we handle the data that these obligations entail:

• Statutory Compliance: To align with accounting, tax, and other legal mandates, we need to collect and store specific information. This information could include your email address, details about your subscription, payment-related information, and, occasionally, legal documents.
• Payment Information: Our trusted payment processors handle the heavy lifting of payment transactions and refunds, gathering standard data like transaction dates, payers’ IP addresses, and credit card details. CopVPN only processes a minimal subset (e.g., partial credit card number, payment amount, currency, and payment date) primarily for addressing payment issues and fraud prevention. Additionally, we collect info about your country (and state, if applicable) to accurately calculate VAT/sales tax. And if you prefer, we can keep your billing details on file for future invoices.
• Open Banking Payments: Opting for open banking as your payment method means we’ll need your name, surname, and bank details to process the transaction smoothly.
• Legal Grounding: Our handling of your personal information is grounded in legal obligations and our legitimate interest in safeguarding our rights. Whether it’s statutory data collection or defending against legal claims, we focus on balancing compliance with your privacy rights.

In essence, while we tread through the necessary legal and financial frameworks, our priority remains to protect your privacy, ensuring that we only keep what’s needed and for legitimate reasons. CopVPN is dedicated to being transparent and responsible in how we manage your data amidst these requirements.
