VPNChamp Privacy Policy
VPNChamp is committed to protecting your privacy. We want you to understand what information we collect, what we don’t collect, and how we collect, use, and store information. We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. We also never store connection logs, meaning no logs of your IP address, your outgoing VPN IP address, connection timestamp, or session duration.
Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class VPN service at scale. We designed our systems to not have sensitive data about our customers; even when compelled, we cannot provide data that we do not possess.
This privacy policy will help you understand how VPNChamp (“VPNChamp,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and stores information. If you disagree with the rules of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the VPNChamp Services.
Processing of your data
VPNChamp processes user data only to a very limited scope – only as much as it is absolutely required for provision of the VPNChamp Services, processing of payments for the VPNChamp Services, as well as functioning of the VPNChamp website and mobile applications.
Personal data is processed by VPNChamp automatically and manually. Unless expressly noted otherwise, VPNChamp or a designated subsidiary in your country shall act as the responsible personal data controller for any data processed. VPNChamp uses third party data processors only for processing of payment data, emailing service and basic website and app analytics.
VPNChamp guarantees a strict no-logs policy for VPNChamp services, meaning that your activities using VPNChamp Services are provided by automated technical process, are not monitored, recorded, logged, stored or passed to any third party. We do not store connection time stamps, session information, used bandwidth, traffic logs, IP addresses or other data. From the moment a VPNChamp.com user turns on the VPNChamp.com software, their Internet data becomes encrypted. Any online traffic coming from user’s device is no longer visible to ISP, third-party snoopers or cyber criminals. Further, VPNChamp has a strict no logs policy when it comes to seeing user activity online: VPNChamp does not require data storage.
Anyone may browse our website, install VPNChamp application and mobile applications without signing up for the VPNChamp Services, however the functionality of the VPNChamp Services will be very limited or absent. If you want to engage full functionality of the VPNChamp Services, you need to create a user account and provide basic personal data indicated below.
If you choose to create a user account, you must provide the following basic information:
Email address. We ask for your email address as part of your registration. That ensures that we can communicate with you when we have any exciting announcements to make, service updates to advise or errors to report. Valid email address is also needed to retrieve a lost password and to make a VPN connection.
Payment data. In addition to the conventional payment methods, such as credit card, users can buy VPNChamp service with cryptocurrency. Our payment processing partners process basic billing information for payment processing and refund requests.
You must maintain this information current, truthful, complete and accurate. You warrant that you are authorized to provide such information. You authorize us to verify your information at any time. If it is found to be untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we retain the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your user account and your access to the VPNChamp Services.
In order to maintain the VPN service, the VPNChamp also processes limited technical information, which sometimes may be considered personal data. This information is used for improving the functionality and usability of our website and VPNChamp Services. If you decide not to provide this limited information, we may not be able to provide you with the full scope of the VPNChamp Services. Said information may also include:
Server load information. We monitor the server performance in order to recommend the most suitable servers to our customers.

Grounds for data processing
Your personal data is processed for the purpose of providing you the best VPNChamp services under the legal basis of performance of the contract between you and VPNChamp, as provided in our Terms of Service.
VPNChamp may process your personal data (email address) for direct marketing purposes in the following cases: when we obtain your consent to such processing (the legal basis for processing, in this case, is your consent) or when applicable law permits us to contact you without a separate consent (under the legal basis of a legitimate interest).
Your personal data protection rights
You may request us to inform you about the personal data that we have collected about you, to request any changes or correction of inaccurate information, to object to certain processing of personal data (e.g. for marketing purposes), to provide you with a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to transmit (if technically feasible) your personal data to another controller, or to erase your personal data. You also may request to restrict the processing of your personal data (when there is a legal basis for that). In cases where your personal data is processed on a separate consent basis, you have the right at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data.
If you disagree with your data processing by VPNChamp, you are free not to use the VPNChamp Service, and to discontinue using it at any time. You may request us to discontinue processing of your personal data, in which case your data will be processed only as much as it is necessary to effect the discontinuation of your use of the VPNChamp Services (e.g., final settlement, or deleting all personal data based on your email address), or finalizing other VPNChamp’s legal relationship with you (e.g. accounting, invoicing, processing refunds).
Due to technical reasons (such as backup copies of the databases) your personal data may be finally deleted only within 60 days or longer, if it is mandated by the statutory requirements.
If you wish to use the VPNChamp Services again, you will have to accept and agree to this Privacy Policy anew.
