Privacy policy

1. Scope and controller

This policy applies to vpnvertex.com and its editorial pages. VPNVertex is an independent publishing website operated by Simon Phillips in California, United States. It does not describe the privacy practices of VPN providers or other websites linked from our articles.

2. Information we may collect

Information you provide

When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, selected topic, message, and any information you choose to include.

Technical and usage information

Subject to your choices and the tools enabled in production, hosting, security, or analytics providers may process IP address, browser type, device information, page requests, approximate region, referrer, and interaction events.

3. Why information is used

• Respond to questions, corrections, and rights requests.
• Secure the website, prevent abuse, and diagnose errors.
• Understand site performance where optional analytics consent is given.
• Measure eligible affiliate referrals where permitted.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.

4. Service providers and disclosures

Information may be processed by website infrastructure, security, email, analytics, or affiliate-measurement providers according to the services actually enabled. We may also disclose information where required by law or necessary to protect rights and security. VPNVertex does not intentionally sell personal information.

5. Retention and security

Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed to answer the request, maintain a correction record, resolve disputes, or comply with law. Technical records are retained according to the relevant provider’s configured periods. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service can promise absolute security.

6. Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive certain personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. You may also withdraw optional cookie consent at any time.

7. Children and external sites

VPNVertex is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information. External websites have independent privacy practices; review their policies before providing data or purchasing.
