Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Paofu VPN (referred to as 'this Service' or 'we') handles personal information through the mobile application (referred to as the 'App'). We collect, use, and protect data only within the scope needed to provide and maintain the service.

When you download, launch, or use the App, we may collect necessary operational data, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device operating system version, in-app access paths, session duration, and approximate location. This information is used to: 1. recommend suitable Paofu VPN routes based on node distribution; 2. analyze anonymized regional connection quality and improve stability; 3. send necessary service updates, security notices, or account communications.

We only transmit anonymized or aggregated data to necessary third-party partners, such as Google Play Services and Firebase, for crash analysis, performance monitoring, and feature improvement. We do not share personal information with third parties except where required by legal process, necessary to protect users or investigate fraud, or handled by entrusted service providers under confidentiality obligations. To stop new data collection, uninstall the App through the standard device process.

User-provided data is retained during the service term and for a reasonable period afterward. To cancel your account or delete your profile, contact our privacy team at [email protected]. The App is not directed to children under 13. If such information is collected by mistake, we will delete it promptly. Guardians may contact us through the same email for assistance.

This Privacy Policy may be updated because of regulatory requirements, product changes, or business adjustments. Please review this page periodically. Continuing to use the service after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy. This policy takes effect on October 4, 2025. For questions, contact the Paofu VPN team by email at [email protected].
