Privacy Policy for FilehorseVPN Site & Services

Your privacy is our priority, but your trust in us is equally important. That's why we want to be as transparent as possible in our policies. FilehorseVPN is a zero-logs VPN service provider, which means that we do not keep a record of any connection, traffic, or activity data in regards to our Services. In general, however, we monitor our Site activity to measure its performance and improve functionality. We want you to understand the type of information we collect, why we collect that data, and exactly how we use the information we collect.

●       We do not sell or rent personal information to others, under any circumstances.

●       Your data is secured and rendered anonymous whenever you are connected to our Services.
