Welcome to ViewPN’s Privacy Policy.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you use ViewPN (“our Site”), you will be regarded as having read and accepted this Privacy Policy. If you don’t wish to be bound by what you read below, you shouldn’t use our Site.
Our Privacy Policy explains
- What information we collect and how we collect it
- How we use that information
- How to find out more about our policies
This is a very important policy page and we hope you will read it carefully.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We do not ask you or anyone else to give us any personal information in order to use ViewPN.
We do collect anonymised information to provide a better service to all our users – from improving our less popular pages to tracking the commissions that allow the site to operate as a free resource.
The only instance when we do collect personal information – specifically, your name and email address – is if, and only if, you submit a review of one of the VPN providers listed on our Site via the review submission forms we host.
We collect information in the following ways:
User Reviews
Personal data collection
Once you submit your review, the following personal information will be collected (exactly as submitted):
– Name
– Email address
We ask for your email address to avoid bogus reviews being submitted. We will never share your data with any third-party, unless it is with the VPN provider you are subscribed to but only if you have entered into a prize draw they are running with us (see ‘Data use and transfer’ for more details). We may occasionally contact you via the email address submitted to ask you questions relating to the VPN service you’ve purchased. We will only email you for this sole purpose.
Data use and transfer
The reviews you submit may be published on relevant pages of our Site. The published review will also include your Name, as submitted to us.
Data retention
Your Name and email address, exactly as submitted to us, will be stored in our secure reviews database for as long as your review is published on our Site.
Data deletion
If you wish to have your review removed from our Site, and your name and email address removed from our Reviews database, please email your request to Info@ViewPN.com.
Please note, the request must originate from the email address submitted as part of the review, as proof of authenticity.
Site Analytics
Every time anyone visits our Site, we collect anonymised information about that visit. Like most big websites, we do this through Google Analytics software to better understand how people use our site. While we do not use Google Analytics to collect any personally identifying information (such as name or address), we do collect the following kinds of information:
- The pages you visit on ViewPN.com
- How long you spend on each page of our Site
- How you got to our Site
- What kind of device you were using
- Your home country and browser settings such as language
We also sometimes use other third-party analytics tools that collect information about how you interact with our Site, such as what you click on and the parts of the page you spend most time on.
We use this information to better understand our customers and their needs in order to improve our service.
This information is anonymized and cannot be tied back to any individual. Nevertheless, we never share it with anyone outside unless specifically required to by law.
This anonymized analytics information is stored behind secure log-ins that can only be accessed by PrivacyCo employees using their official credentials.
Cookies and similar technologies
Like most websites, ViewPN puts small files (known as ‘cookies’) onto your computer to collect information about how you browse our Site.
You can read our policy for a detailed breakdown of the types of cookie we use and why we use them.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not, and by allowing us to earn commissions.
A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Look at aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance about how to do this.
We may implement third party advertising or other content on the Site that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third party content provider to read and write Cookies to your web browser in connection with your viewing of the third party content on the Site.
Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may allow a third party to collect information about you through their browser Cookies, even when you do not interact with the button.
Information collected through web beacons and buttons is collected directly by third parties, and ViewPN does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
ViewPN contains links to other websites.
This privacy policy only applies to this website, and doesn’t cover other sites that we link to. If you go to another website, read the privacy policy on that website to find out what it does with your information.
CHANGES
We may, from time to time, update this Privacy Policy to reflect any changes to our privacy practices in accordance with changes to legislation, best practice or enhancements to ViewPN. We will let you know what these changes are by posting them to this page, but it is your responsibility as a user to make sure that you are aware of them, by checking for any changes on a regular basis. Changes will become effective as soon as they are posted.
