What "No-Logs" Actually Means

"No-logs" is printed on the homepage of nearly every VPN on the market. It's also one of the least specific claims in the industry, because "logs" can mean almost anything depending on who's saying it.

So instead of asking you to trust a badge, here's the actual list.

What we don't collect

  • Browsing history. The sites and services you visit while connected are never recorded.
  • DNS queries. We don't log the lookups your device makes.
  • Connection timestamps. We don't store when you connected, for how long, or how often.
  • Your IP address. Neither your original IP nor the VPN IP assigned to your session is retained after the connection ends.
  • Traffic destinations or content. We can't see it, and we don't try to.

What actually exists

A small amount of information is unavoidable to run a subscription business at all:

  1. Apple or Google confirm your subscription is active, so the app can unlock — this happens through their billing systems, not ours.
  2. We may collect anonymized, aggregate crash and performance data (e.g. "the app crashed on this OS version") that can't be tied back to an individual or a session.

That's the entire list. There isn't a hidden third category.

Why this is easy for us to promise

Because there's no signup, there's no account to link activity to in the first place — see our previous post on why we skipped accounts entirely. A no-logs policy is a lot more credible when the architecture makes logging pointless, rather than relying on a policy document alone.

We'd rather be boring and specific about this than persuasive. "Trust us" is not a security model.
