Maybe I'm just being dumb and can't find it but...its a massive red flag for a VPN not to have a privacy policy.

Looks like they

  • collect "depersonalized" data
  • they use hidden pixels for tracking
  • allow advertisers to gather info such as your IP address

That's a major red flag for a VPN

So they share "depersonalized" data with advertisers.

They user hidden pixels to track you on their website.

And they allow advertisers to collect your IP address to send you personalized ads.
