1. Who We Are & Scope of This Policy
Welcome to Safeguard FLEX VPN, operated by SAFEGUARD IP VPN SOLUTIONS, TOO. We are dedicated to protecting your digital privacy and providing a secure online experience.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our iOS application and website. It applies solely to data collected through our app and website on iOS devices. It does not extend to third-party websites, services, or applications, even if they are accessible through our platform.
By using Safeguard FLEX VPN, you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
2. Our Privacy Commitment: No-Logs Policy
We strictly follow a No-Logs Policy, which means:
- No records or retention of your VPN activity logs
- No tracking of browsing history, DNS queries, or IP addresses
- No storage of connection timestamps, session durations, or bandwidth usage linked to you
Our servers operate without logging activity, and we regularly review our systems to ensure your privacy is protected.
