Information for end users of SafeSpark VPN application

SafeSpark VPN provides you complete access to VPN-service by utilizing a portion of your network connection and device resources. In order for this arrangement to work effectively, SafeSpark VPN requires access to a limited amount of your personal information.

The data we can access through our application is categorized as follows:

  • 1. Device information: This includes your IP address, operating system version, device model, charging status, last seen timestamp, and physical location (city and country). We use this information to determine if we can utilize your device's resources and to gather data from public internet resources.
  • 2. Network information: This pertains to the current status of your WiFi connection, which helps us avoid utilizing your device's resources when it is connected to mobile network data.

The above-mentioned information is essential for the proper functioning of the agreement between you and SafeSpark VPN.

Additionally, for the purpose of analyzing and enhancing our service, we collect aggregated statistics related to the usage of our application. This may include error and crash reports, as well as application usage analytics. We process this data to improve the functionality and usability of our services and applications, based on our interest in providing a better experience.

Data sharing

We rely on various service providers to effectively deliver our services. These providers include data storage companies, performance analytics entities (involved in error and crash reporting), web and app usage analytics entities (such as Google and Facebook Analytics), and others. These service providers are legally obligated to handle your information securely and are not permitted to access your personal data for their own purposes. Furthermore, they are required to refrain from sharing your information with any unrelated third parties.

In order for our clients to access and collect data from public internet sources (such as websites), we may share your location and IP information. This data sharing is crucial for fulfilling the contractual obligations between you and SafeSpark VPN.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, we do not share or disclose your personal information except in the following circumstances:

  • Disclosing the information is necessary for our representatives to perform their duties on our behalf.
  • It becomes necessary to address an emergency situation.

Data transfers beyond the European Economic Area (EEA)

We strive to ensure that even if your data is transferred outside the EEA, our partners and service providers comply with European privacy rules and standards. We include data protection clauses in our agreements with service providers and partners. If they are located in countries that do not have adequate legislation recognized by the European Commission, we establish agreements that incorporate standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission.
