Our guideline for data collection is to collect only the minimum data needed to run QuickSafe services.

1.   What information do we collect? 

·       Information related to your account (“Personal information”) 

o We will collect data related to application usage information, such as IP address, approximate location (only country / region), transaction information; and when you contact us (for example, by email), you can choose to provide us with information, including information submitted to us when you fill in the online form, reply to the survey, and provide feedback. 

oEmail address. We ask for your email address and password as part of your registration. That ensures that we can communicate with you when we have any exciting announcements to make, service updates to advise or errors to report. Valid email address is also needed to retrieve a lost password and to make a VPN connection.

o Payment information. When you purchase a paid plan, we will collect your payment information. It help you restore subscription and use your premium accounts on other devices like Android and PC.

·       Information related to service 

o Usage information.  We collect information about how you interact with our services, how much bandwidth you use, and when you use our services.

For example, we may collect device identifiers, browser types, device types and settings, operating system versions, mobile, wireless, and other network information (such as Internet service provider names, operator names, and signal strength), and application version numbers.  

o Diagnostic information.  We may collect information about the nature of the request you make to the server (for example, the content requested, information about the devices and applications used to make the request, time stamps, and reference URLs). However, our VPN products do not record any information that associates your identity with VPN browsing activities. We will not keep any records showing the content you are browsing or accessing through VPN connection.  

o Location information.  Unless otherwise specified, we will not collect your location information based on your device's GPS or other device sensor data. However, we may collect your approximate location by calculating imprecise latitude and longitude based on your IP address to provide you with better services (for example, connecting you to the nearest, fastest VPN server).

These third-party SDKs may also collect your information, such as gaid (Google Advertising ID on Android devices) or IDFA (advertising identifier on IOS devices), region (defined as location in a given language), location information and IP address. This policy does not apply to our third-party analysis tools. You can find their privacy policy on their website.
