Privacy Policy for Anchor VPN

Effective Date: October 17, 2026 | Application: Anchor VPN – Fast & Secure VPN (com.sohaib.anchorvpn) | Publisher: SohaibWorld

🛡️ Strict Zero-Logs Guarantee:

Anchor VPN operates under a verified zero-logs architecture. We do NOT monitor, record, log, or sell your browsing activity, visited websites, DNS queries, connection timestamps, or originating IP addresses. What you do online remains strictly your private business.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anchor VPN (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to protecting and respecting your digital privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates, our strict zero-logs commitment, and how we handle non-personal technical data in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies and global privacy standards.

By downloading, installing, or using Anchor VPN, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Strict Zero-Logs Architecture (No Activity Tracking)

Anchor VPN is engineered with privacy as its primary foundation. Under our core architecture:

  • NO Browsing History: We do not inspect, log, monitor, or record the websites you visit, apps you use, or online services you access.
  • NO Originating IP Logging: We do not log your real originating IP address or physical geographic location.
  • NO Connection Timestamps: We do not record connection start times, end times, or session durations.
  • NO DNS Queries: All DNS lookups are resolved inside encrypted tunnels and are never logged or stored.
  • NO Data Selling: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or share your personal information or network traffic under any circumstance.

3. Google Play VpnService API Disclosure

Anchor VPN utilizes Android’s official VpnService base API as its core functional component:

  1. Purpose: The VpnService is strictly required to establish a secure, device-level virtual private network (VPN) tunnel from your device to our remote proxy servers.
  2. Device-Level Encryption: All internet packets traveling through this tunnel are protected using banking-grade AES 256-bit encryption, preventing local Internet Service Providers (ISPs), mobile network carriers, and public Wi-Fi eavesdroppers from intercepting your data.
  3. Application Control (Split Tunneling): The VpnService enables the application bypass feature, allowing you to selectively choose which apps route through the encrypted tunnel and which apps connect directly through your local ISP.
  4. Zero Data Collection: The VpnService tunnel does NOT collect, inspect, store, or transmit your private traffic data to any unauthorized third parties.

4. Minimal Technical Information Processed

To ensure high connection speeds, deliver updates, and provide service reliability, minimal non-personal technical data is processed:

A. Non-Personal Diagnostic & Performance Metrics

  • Crash & Diagnostic Reports: Aggregated crash telemetry (e.g., stack traces, Android OS version, device model) to fix bugs and optimize memory usage.
  • Network Routing Quality: Aggregated server latency and load statistics to automatically connect you to the fastest server.

B. Local App Preferences (Stored on Your Device)

  • Settings such as dark mode preferences, auto-connect settings, and your chosen split-tunneling bypass application list are stored strictly on your local device (SharedPreferences) and are never uploaded to our servers.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

Anchor VPN integrates trusted, industry-standard third-party SDKs for monetization, push notifications, and subscription management:

  • Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Serves non-personalized banner and interstitial ads in the free version of the application in compliance with Google Play advertising policies.
  • OneSignal Push Notifications: Delivers operational alerts, connection status notifications, and feature updates.
  • Google Play In-App Billing: Handles premium in-app purchases and subscriptions securely without exposing your payment details to Anchor VPN.

6. Data Security & End-to-End Encryption

All network communications between your device and Anchor VPN nodes are encrypted with end-to-end military-grade cryptography (AES-256 + TLS 1.3). We employ robust transport security to ensure your data is impervious to man-in-the-middle attacks, DNS hijacking, and ISP snooping.
