PaladinVPN is committed to protecting your privacy. We want you to understand what information we collect, what we don’t collect, and how we collect, use, and store information. We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. We also never store connection logs, meaning no logs of your IP address, your outgoing VPN IP address, connection timestamp, or session duration.
Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class VPN service at scale. We designed our systems to not have sensitive data about our customers; even when compelled, we cannot provide data that we do not possess.
This privacy policy will help you understand how Ledger Media Ltd. ("PaladinVPN","we","our", or "us") collects, uses, and stores information.
PaladinVPN collects two types of information:
PaladinVPN 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.
VPN connection diagnostics are anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual PaladinVPN users. This feature is similar to a “send bug report�option. Users can specify in the settings menu of any PaladinVPN App whether to send these data to us.
We ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries. Therefore:
Should anyone try to compel PaladinVPN 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, PaladinVPN 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.
With your permission, we collect anonymized analytics data used for network diagnostics. We use these data in our network operations tools to help optimize network speeds and to let us identify problems related to specific apps, VPN servers, or ISPs. The information we receive is fully anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual PaladinVPN users (i.e., we do not store which user sent which data, and we do not store IP addresses).
If you opt in to share this information with PaladinVPN, we will collect the following information:
PaladinVPN’s core mission is to keep your information private. In service of this mission, PaladinVPN’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 PaladinVPN does not collect any IP addresses, browsing history, traffic data, or DNS queries that could be used to identify any specific user.
