LayerVPN protects and respects our customers' privacy, We ensure our customers remain anonymous when using the service and collect as little information as possible.
Please see our detailed LayerVPN’s Privacy Policy for details on information collected and how it’s used.
To that end: we DO NOT LOG any user activity (i.e., sites visited, DNS lookups, emails, etc.)
Here is the information we collect and why we collect it:
Personal Information:
VPN Specific User ID. We create a VPN specific user ID that is shared with the upstream provider for the purpose of:
The user ID is what allows us to identify the specific customer for troubleshooting issues and to gather/add to product feedback/features analysis.
Non-PI: Anonymized and/or non-PI data is collected for 2 purposes:
Actual service coverage, speeds, locations and quality may vary. The Service will attempt to be available at all times except for limited periods for maintenance and repair. However the Service may be subject to unavailability for a variety of factors beyond Our control, including emergencies, third party service failures, transmission, equipment or network problems or limitations, interference, signal strength, and may be interrupted, refused, limited or curtailed. We are not responsible for data, messages or pages lost, not delivered, delayed or misdirected because of interruptions or performance issues with the Service or communications services or networks (e.g., T-1 lines or the Internet). We may impose usage or Service limits, suspend Service, or block certain kinds of usage in Our sole discretion to protect users or the Service. Network speed is an estimate and is no indication of the speed at which Your or the Service sends or receives data. Actual network speed will vary based on configuration, compression, network congestion and other factors. The accuracy and timeliness of data received is not guaranteed; delays or omissions may occur.
We do not put any cap on bandwidth or data usage per user, however the use of service is subjected to fair usage. Creating automated or manual VPN sessions in a manner that would impersonate a bot or exerting excessive load on the network that may disturb other users on the network or utilizing substantially excessive bandwidth that exceeds the average user bandwidth usage for an extended duration or the likes, all are considered as unfair usage of the network. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend or permanently terminate users found involved in unfair usage of its services.
