Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how HelloVPN, operated by Stack Network Limited ("HelloVPN", "we", "our", or "us"), collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our website, applications, and VPN services available through hellovpn.com and related products and services (collectively, the "Services").
Our guiding principle is to collect only the minimum information required to operate a reliable VPN service. We do not collect logs of your browsing activity, traffic destination, DNS queries, or data content. We also do not store connection logs such as your source IP address, assigned VPN IP address, connection timestamps, or session duration.
1. Personal Information
HelloVPN is designed to operate as a privacy-focused service with minimal personal data collection.
We may receive limited personal information from you when you:
- contact us directly
- create or manage an account
- subscribe to a paid plan
- communicate with support
That information may include:
- your email address
- information you include in support messages
- billing or subscription information processed by payment providers
When you use the app, the service may assign an internal identifier to help verify your subscription and enable access to the level of service you purchased. This identifier is used for service administration and is not intended to be tied to browsing activity.
If you contact us directly, we may receive your name, email address, message contents, attachments, and any other information you choose to provide. We may use your email address to:
- respond to support requests
- communicate about your account or subscription
- send service updates and operational notices
- send optional marketing communications where permitted
You can opt out of marketing emails at any time through the unsubscribe instructions included in those messages.
HelloVPN does not sell your personal information to third parties.
2. Service Information Related to VPN Usage
Subject to applicable law, information relating to your online activity transmitted through the VPN service is encrypted and not retained as activity or connection logs after the session ends.
We do not collect or retain:
- websites you visit
- browsing history
- traffic destination
- DNS queries
- data content transmitted through the VPN
- source IP addresses tied to browsing activity
- assigned VPN IP addresses tied to an identified user session
- session timestamps or session duration tied to an identified user
As a result, we are not able to identify:
- which user accessed a specific website or service
- which user was connected to the VPN at a particular time
- a complete record of a user's browsing or connection history
3. Device and Diagnostic Information
To maintain service quality and prevent abuse, we may process limited technical or diagnostic information necessary to operate the service, such as:
- app version
- device type
- crash diagnostics
- aggregated performance metrics
We use this information to improve reliability, troubleshoot issues, and maintain the security of the Services.
4. Payment Processing
Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. HelloVPN does not store your full credit card number or bank account details. Please review the privacy policy of the payment processor you use to understand how payment data is collected and processed.
5. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- provide and maintain the Services
- verify subscription status
- respond to support requests
- improve service quality and performance
- send service-related communications
- comply with legal obligations
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, fulfill legitimate business needs, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
7. Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Third-Party Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party services or rely on third-party providers for infrastructure, payment processing, analytics, customer support, or communications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies carefully.
9. Children's Privacy
HelloVPN does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16, and children under 16 may not use the Services. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected].
10. Access and Requests
If you would like to access, update, or delete personal information you have provided to us, you can contact us at [email protected]. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.
11. GDPR
Where applicable, we process personal information under one or more lawful bases, including:
- performance of a contract
- legitimate interests in operating and improving the Services
- compliance with legal obligations
- consent, where required
If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar rights, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your personal data, subject to applicable law.
12. International Data Transfers
HelloVPN may process information in countries other than the one in which it was originally collected. Where required, we will take appropriate steps to protect personal information in connection with cross-border transfers.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Services, legal requirements, or our practices. Updated versions will be posted on hellovpn.com with a revised effective date.
