1. Introduction

At Yee VPN (“we”, “our”, “us”), your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our free, privacy-focused VPN service (the “Service”). It complies with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Policy and our Terms of Service.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

We operate a strict no-logs policy to protect your privacy. We do not collect, log, or store:

• Your browsing activity or web traffic;
• Your original IP address;
• Connection timestamps or durations;
• DNS requests or queries;
• Any data that could identify you or link your activities to you personally.

This ensures that we cannot track or monitor your online behavior.

3. Data We May Collect

To maintain, improve, and secure the Service, we may process minimal, anonymized metadata on a temporary, non-personal basis solely during your active session. This includes:

• Total number of devices connected per user (without identifying the devices);
• Country-level location data (non-identifying and aggregated, e.g., for load balancing);
• Aggregate bandwidth usage statistics (for service optimization).

We never associate this metadata with personal identifiers such as your name, email, IP address, or any other information that could identify you.

This processing occurs in real time and is not stored persistently — all metadata is discarded immediately upon session end or as soon as it is no longer needed for the immediate purpose.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in providing and maintaining the Service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not retain or store any data beyond the duration of your active use.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or any other purposes. We may disclose data only in the following limited circumstances:

• To comply with lawful government requests, subpoenas, or court orders, but only if legally required and after verifying their validity;
• To trusted service providers (e.g., hosting providers) who assist us in operating the Service, under strict confidentiality agreements;
• In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, where data may be transferred as part of the business.

For EU users, any international data transfers (if applicable) comply with GDPR requirements, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR and applicable laws, you have rights regarding your data, including:

• Access: Request information about data we hold;
• Rectification: Correct inaccurate data;
• Erasure: Request deletion (right to be forgotten);
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured format.

To exercise these rights, contact us (see Section 9). We will respond within one month, free of charge, unless the request is complex or excessive. If we process data on consent, you can withdraw it anytime, though this may affect Service use. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (e.g., in Germany: Die Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit).

6. Security

We use industry-standard security measures, such as encryption and secure protocols, to protect our infrastructure and any collected metadata from unauthorized access, loss, or breach. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In case of a data breach, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by law (e.g., Art. 33-34 GDPR).

7. Limitation of Liability for Data Matters

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from data breaches, unauthorized access, or misuse of the Service by third parties. For full details on liability, see our Terms of Service.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. The updated Policy will be posted here with the new effective date.
