Your DNS Tunnel is committed to protecting your privacy
Your DNS Tunnel is a global company and committed to protecting your privacy. Your DNS Tunnel offered by Free Connected Limited. This Privacy Policy describes how Free Connected Limited ("Your DNS Tunnel", "we" or "us") controls ("collect", "use", "disclose" or "protect") our users' ("your") personal data and how can our users control their data. This Policy applies to all services (collectively as the "Service") offered by Your DNS Tunnel(Software versions like Android) and Your DNS Tunnel official websites. Your consent is the legal basis for data collecting and processing. By visiting or using the Service, you consent to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. As an internet privacy & security service provider, we make sure your privacy is our primary concern, and we will be 100% transparent with our users. We believe the relationship between the users and us is built on trust, and trust is built on the truth. To offer better clarity to you, let's start with three points: We do not log how you utilize VPN connection, which means we do not see the applications, service or websites you use personally while connected to our Service nor do we store them. We do not store your original IP address or the server IP address that you connect to which means we cannot share it to anyone no matter what happened. We will not sell, use, or disclose any personal data to third parties not mentioned in this Privacy for any purpose..
This privacy policy will help you understand how Your DNS Tunnel Working and protect your privecy by online. (“Your DNS Tunnel,” “Don't,” “request,” to “any user data delected or we don't need starage access.) Your DNS Tunnel Collected users device id like (device model, device operating system version, device language, unique random ID, client version),User Full Name, Username, Email Number, Password.
”Your DNS Tunnel collects four types of information:
This information is collected for the purpose of administering your Your DNS Tunnel subscription and includes your name, email address, Username,Password and payment information, which you submit on our order page when you subscribe for the Services.
Your DNS Tunnel collects minimal information about usage in order to maintain excellent customer support and quality of service. The section below specifies in detail what information we collect. These statistics never include anything about what the user did with the VPN: no data about the contents or destinations of VPN traffic, no DNS queries, and no IP addresses.
App diagnostic data, which include crash reports, usability diagnostics, and VPN connection diagnostics, are anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual Your DNS Tunnel users. This feature is similar to a “send bug report” option. Users can specify in the settings menu of any Your DNS Tunnel App whether to send these data to us.
Separately from VPN services, we also provide our optional MediaStreamer service for devices such as Apple TV that do not support VPNs. Users who opt in to using MediaStreamer can choose to register specific IP addresses that should be authorized to use the service; these IP addresses are only used by Your DNS Tunnel to provide the optional MediaStreamer service and not for any other purpose.
Your DNS Tunnel collects personal information that you provide to us directly through the Site. We require that you provide personal information, such as an email address and payment information, in order to establish an Your DNS Tunnel account, and so that we can email you, collect payments from you, and respond to support queries that you initiate. The specific information collected varies depending on the payment method you choose. To minimize the amount of personal information you submit to us, we recommend that you use Bitcoin payments when subscribing to our Service.
With some forms of payment, the Site may redirect you to the website of a third-party payment processor (namely PayPal, BitPay, or Paymentwall) to complete the transaction. To understand what personal information these processors collect and store, please refer to the respective processor's terms and privacy policy.
Your DNS Tunnel uses your email address for the following reasons:
To send emails related to payment transactions.
To provide links to our Site, including password reset emails.
To send you updates and announcements.
To communicate with you about your VPN services or respond to your communications.
To send marketing information, such as Your DNS Tunnel offers, surveys, invitations, and content about other matters in connection with Your DNS Tunnel (“Marketing emails”). You may choose to not receive Marketing emails by following the opt-out procedure described in these emails.
Your DNS Tunnel uses your personal information only for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Any personal information associated with Your DNS Tunnel accounts is controlled only by Your DNS Tunnel, including being stored on systems and servers owned or leased by Your DNS Tunnel and its subsidiaries. In the limited circumstances where this data may need to be processed by other related entities, it may be shared only when required, and for the duration required, for processing solely related to the purposes and legitimate interests outlined in this Privacy Policy, while ensuring at all times the same data protection standards. For avoidance of doubt, these circumstances do not include any situations where control of personal information of Your DNS Tunnel users will be transferred to any other related entities, including but not limited to our ultimate holding company, Kape Technologies PLC, for any duration of time.
We ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries. Therefore:
We do not know which user ever accessed a particular website or service.
We do not know which user was connected to the VPN at a specific time or which VPN server IP addresses they used.
We do not know the set of original IP addresses of a user’s computer.
Should anyone try to compel Your DNS Tunnel to release user information based on any of the above, we cannot supply this information because the data don’t exist.
In order to maintain excellent customer support and quality of service, Your DNS Tunnel collects the following information related to your VPN usage:
We collect information related to which Apps and Apps version(s) you have activated. Knowing your current version of the Apps allows our Support Team to troubleshoot technical issues with you.
We collect information about whether you have successfully established a VPN connection on a particular day (but not a specific time of the day), to which VPN location (but not your assigned outgoing IP address), and from which country/ISP (but not your source IP address). This minimal information assists us in providing technical support, such as identifying connection problems, providing country-specific advice about how to best use our Service, and to enable Your DNS Tunnel engineers to identify and fix network issues.
We collect information regarding the total sum of data transferred by a given user. Although we provide unlimited data transfer, if we notice that a single user pushes more traffic than thousands of others combined, thereby affecting the quality of service for other Your DNS Tunnel users, we may contact that user for an explanation.
We collect minimal usage statistics to maintain our quality of service. We may know, for example, that our customer John had connected to our New York VPN location on Tuesday and had transferred an aggregate of 823 MB of data across a 24-hour period. John can’t be uniquely identified as responsible for any specific behavior because his usage pattern overlaps with thousands of other Your DNS Tunnel customers who also connected to the same location on the same day.
We’ve engineered our systems to categorically eliminate storage of sensitive data. We may know THAT a customer has used Your DNS Tunnel, but we never know HOW they have utilized our Service. We stand by our firm commitment to our customers’ privacy by not possessing any data related to a user’s online activities.
With your permission, we collect anonymized app diagnostic data, which include crash reports, usability diagnostics, and VPN connection diagnostics. We use these data in our network operations tools to help optimize network speeds and to let us identify problems and areas for improvement related to specific apps, VPN servers, or ISPs. The information we receive is fully anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual Your DNS Tunnel users (i.e., we do not store which user sent which data, and we do not store user IP addresses).
If you opt in to share this information with Your DNS Tunnel, we will collect the following anonymized information:
Diagnostic information about if and how a VPN connection attempt failed.
Speed test data.
App diagnostics, including crash reports and usability diagnostics, also without any personally identifiable information. These are handled in an anonymized form by these third parties, dependent on the platform you are using Your DNS Tunnel on:
Windows: Hockeyapp, owned by Microsoft, and Sentry, owned by Functional Software, Inc. See Microsoft’s Privacy Policy and Sentry’s Privacy Policy.
Mac: Crashlytics, owned by Google, and Sentry, owned by Functional Software, Inc. See Crashlytics’s Privacy Policy and Sentry’s Privacy Policy.
Linux: Sentry, owned by Functional Software, Inc. See Sentry’s Privacy Policy.
iOS: Firebase Crashlytics, owned by Google, and Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy and Firebase’s Privacy and Security documentation. You can disable Apple’s crash reporting in iOS settings as described here.
Android: Firebase Crashlytics, owned by Google. See Firebase’s Privacy and Security documentation.
Browser extensions: Google Analytics, owned by Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
Upon activation of any Your DNS Tunnel App, you will be asked if you would like to share these data. You can start or stop sharing these diagnostic data at any time in the App’s settings menu. On iOS, Apple’s crash reporting can be turned off in iOS settings.
MediaStreamer is our service for consoles like Apple TV and other devices that don’t support running a VPN. Because the service doesn’t run on an app and doesn’t have an option for username/password authorization, we rely on a system that authorizes specific IP addresses that you have chosen to register with us. You can register IP addresses by logging in to our website and using the “DNS Settings” page. Those IP addresses are then stored in our system in order to identify authorized devices for MediaStreamer, and are not used for any other purpose.
If you do not wish to use this service but have devices like an Apple TV that cannot run a VPN, we suggest using the Your DNS Tunnel App for routers. Like all of our Apps and VPN Service, the App for routers does not require IP address registration. Please contact us, and we’ll guide you through the steps.
Your DNS Tunnel’s core mission is to keep your information private. In service of this mission, Your DNS Tunnel’s headquarters and registered place of business is in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), which has stricter laws concerning information disclosure than most countries.
The BVI has no data retention laws, and any legal order requiring a BVI company to disclose customer records must come from the BVI Supreme Court. Under BVI law, information requests from foreign courts or law enforcement are subject to a “dual criminality” provision, meaning that the request is upheld by the BVI Supreme Court only if the same crime is punishable by at least a one-year prison sentence under BVI law, had it taken place in the BVI. Should we receive a valid legal order from the BVI Supreme Court, it is important to note that Your DNS Tunnel does not collect any IP addresses, browsing history, traffic data, or DNS queries that could be used to identify any specific user.
Customer data is controlled by and stored under Your DNS Tunnel, not by its ultimate holding company, Kape Technologies PLC (UK) or other related entities. Tripplex Technologies Ltd. operates under BVI jurisdiction, in accordance with BVI laws. Consequently, any demand via legal means for Your DNS Tunnel customer data is subject to the BVI jurisdiction and laws; we fight vigorously to defend our rights (and those of our users) if an attempt is made to bypass the privacy protections provided for by the BVI. A parent, subsidiary, or related entity cannot be compelled to, nor would it voluntarily, provide data stored by Tripplex Technologies Ltd.
Your DNS Tunnel keeps records of any correspondence, questions, complaints, or compliments you submit to us through our Site or Services, along with our response. Depending on how you contact Your DNS Tunnel, we may collect your email address and any additional information you provide to us. Having full correspondence records enables our staff to provide the best possible customer support experience.
We use two different third-party platforms for support correspondence: Zendesk for emails and support tickets, and SnapEngage for live chat. When you correspond with us using these platforms, they will store your correspondence records—including your email address, as well as user and device attributes that help with troubleshooting, such as the country you are contacting us from and your device’s operating system. Both platforms utilize modern security practices and HTTPS encryption.
Your DNS Tunnel uses best-in-class physical, procedural, and technical security with respect to our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of information. Access to user information is restricted to staff who require such access to perform their job functions.
While we believe these systems are robust, it is important to understand that no data security measures in the world can offer 100% protection.
Servers are housed in data centers with strong security practices. None of these data centers require us to collect or store any traffic data or personal information related to your use of VPN Services. If any data center were to ask us to log such data, we would immediately cease operations with said data center and find alternative options.
Even if a government were to physically seize one of our VPN servers and manage to break its disk encryption, there would be no logs or information that would tie any individual user to a particular event, website, or behavior.
