Privacy Policy - Mercury VPN

Effective Date: 01-September-2024

At Mercury Apps, we offer Mercury VPN as a free service and are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not log your browsing history, traffic destinations, data content, or DNS queries. We do not store connection logs such as IP addresses, connection timestamps, or session durations. Our systems are designed to minimize the collection of sensitive data. By using our app, you consent to the limited collection of app analytics data as outlined below.

Data Collection and Use (GDPR, CCPA, CPRA Compliance)

We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA standards. Mercury VPN does not collect any personally identifiable information or behavioral data from users. We maintain a strict zero-log policy. However, we integrate third-party SDKs including Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics for app performance monitoring, crash reporting, and service improvement purposes. These services may collect anonymized usage data, such as crash events, device type, and basic interaction metrics.

Important: This data is only used internally for improving app functionality and user experience. We do not use this data to track users across apps or websites, and we do not share user data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Tracking and User Consent

Mercury VPN may request user consent for app tracking as required by Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. However, Mercury VPN does not track users across third-party apps or websites. Any request for tracking authorization is solely due to the technical integration of third-party analytics tools.

VPN Service

Mercury VPN encrypts your internet traffic using secure VPN protocols such as OpenVPN and WireGuard. These protocols are integrated following Android and iOS security standards to ensure safe and private internet connections.

Declaration of Data Collection

We reiterate that Mercury VPN does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. The limited data collected via third-party SDKs is used exclusively for maintaining and improving app performance and stability.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Mercury VPN is designed to protect all users, including children, without collecting personal information. The app's features comply with COPPA and other children’s online privacy protection laws.

App Privacy Section

Please note that while Mercury VPN collects minimal anonymized app usage data for functionality and analytics, we do not collect personally identifiable information. No user can access the app without accepting our privacy policy, which is presented upon app startup.
