Welcome to Zivon VPN (“Zivon VPN,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be processed when you use Zivon VPN. It also describes the choices and rights available to you.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information You Provide
Zivon VPN does not require you to create an account or provide your name, phone number, or email address to use its main features.
If you contact us for support, we may receive:
- Your email address
- The content of your message
- Screenshots or diagnostic information you choose to provide
We use this information only to respond to your request and provide support.
2. VPN Connection and Android VpnService
Zivon VPN uses Android’s VpnService to provide its core VPN connection functionality.
When you initiate a connection, VpnService creates a VPN interface on your device and routes supported network traffic through the selected VPN connection. Processing technical information such as your IP address, connection request, selected location, protocol information, connection time, and data necessary to operate the VPN tunnel may be required.
Zivon VPN does not use VpnService to collect personal information for purposes unrelated to providing and maintaining the VPN connection.
Provided that this reflects the App’s actual technical implementation, we do not intentionally inspect, record, or store:
- The content of your network traffic
- Browsing history
- DNS query history
- Messages or communications
- Files transmitted through the VPN connection
- Passwords or other content entered into websites or apps
Temporary technical processing required to establish and maintain a VPN connection is not used to build a browsing profile.
3. Automatically Processed Information
Depending on the App version and the third-party services included in the App, certain technical information may be processed automatically, including:
- Device type and model
- Android version
- App version
- Language and general region
- IP address
- Network type
- VPN connection status and duration
- Selected VPN location
- Crash reports and diagnostic information
- Advertising identifiers
- Ad impressions, clicks, and rewarded-ad interactions
This information may be used to operate the App, maintain connection stability, diagnose errors, prevent misuse, measure advertising performance, and improve the user experience.
4. Advertising and Additional Connection Time
Zivon VPN may display third-party advertisements, including rewarded advertisements.
If you choose to watch a rewarded advertisement, the App may add additional VPN connection time after the advertisement is completed. Advertising partners may process information such as:
- Advertising ID
- Device information
- IP address
- General location derived from the IP address
- Ad impressions and interactions
- Diagnostic and fraud-prevention information
Third-party advertising providers process information under their own privacy policies. Their data practices may differ from ours.
Where required by applicable law, the App will request consent before using data for personalized advertising. You may also be able to limit ad personalization through your Android device settings.
5. Built-in Tools
Zivon VPN may provide tools such as:
- World Clock
- Currency Converter
- VPN location selection
- Connection-time management
Information entered into these tools is used to provide the requested function. Unless otherwise stated in the App, we do not use this information to create a personal profile.
Currency conversion results are provided for general informational purposes and should not be treated as financial advice or a guaranteed real-time exchange rate.
6. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- Establish and maintain VPN connections
- Display connection status and session duration
- Provide available VPN locations
- Add connection time after eligible actions
- Operate built-in tools
- Diagnose crashes and technical problems
- Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
- Display and measure advertisements
- Respond to support requests
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use VPN traffic content for advertising or unrelated profiling.
7. How Information May Be Shared
Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary with:
- VPN infrastructure and hosting providers
- Advertising and rewarded-ad providers
- Crash-reporting and analytics providers
- Technical service providers
- Legal authorities when required by applicable law
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets
Service providers are permitted to process information only for the services they provide and subject to their own contractual and legal obligations.
We do not sell the content of VPN traffic or browsing history.
8. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, maintain security, resolve technical problems, comply with legal obligations, and protect our rights.
VPN connection and diagnostic records, if maintained, should be limited to the minimum information and retention period required for operating and protecting the service.
Information processed by third-party providers is retained according to their respective privacy policies.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
However, no internet transmission, VPN service, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Zivon VPN does not guarantee absolute security or anonymity.
10. Children’s Privacy
Zivon VPN is not directed to children under the minimum age required by applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us so we can review and delete the information where required.
11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information associated with you
- Request correction or deletion
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent
- Opt out of certain advertising uses
- Submit a complaint to a data-protection authority
Because Zivon VPN does not require an account, we may be unable to identify information as belonging to a particular user unless sufficient information is provided with the request.
To exercise an applicable right, contact us using the details below.
12. International Data Processing
VPN servers and third-party service providers may operate in countries other than the country where you live. As a result, technical information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection laws.
Where required, we use appropriate measures for international data transfers.
13. Third-Party Links and Services
The App may contain links to third-party services. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of services that we do not control.
You should review the privacy policies of any third-party service you choose to use.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App, applicable laws, or our data practices.
When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date will be revised. Material changes may also be communicated through the App or another appropriate method.
