Our stance on privacy
Hidely VPN ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
No account required
Hidely VPN does not require registration, login, or any personal information to use. There are no user accounts, no email collection, and no personal identifiers stored.
Data we do not collect
Transparency is our priority. We strictly adhere to a "No-Logs" philosophy:
- We do NOT log your browsing activity or traffic data.
- We do NOT record websites you visit or DNS queries.
- We do NOT store your real IP address.
- We do NOT track your online behavior.
- We do NOT sell or share any data with third parties.
- We do NOT use advertising or analytics SDKs.
Data we collect
Hidely VPN collects only the minimal technical data necessary to operate the service:
- Connection status (connected/disconnected): Used only for the app's user interface.
- Technical error logs: Stored locally on your device only; used for debugging connection issues.
- VPN server list: Fetched from our API to display available servers to you.
VPN connection & security
When you connect to a VPN server, your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through our servers using the VMess protocol. We do not inspect, log, or store the content of your traffic. Your connection is secured end-to-end between your device and the VPN server using modern encryption standards.
The app requires the Android VPN permission to establish a secure tunnel. This permission is requested before your first connection.
Network permissions
To function correctly, Hidely VPN utilizes the following Android permissions:
- INTERNET: Required to establish VPN connections.
- BIND_VPN_SERVICE: Required by Android to create secure VPN tunnels.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Required to keep the VPN running in the background.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: To check network availability and maintain a stable connection.
Third-party services
This app does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, or any similar services.
Children's privacy
This app is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and in subsequent app updates.
