Tip Privacy & No-logs How do I check a VPN's legal entity and jurisdiction? Start with the legal entity named in the current terms and privacy policy, then note the governing law, contracting entity, operating companies and ultimate owner. Jurisdiction is context; the data collected and evidence for the systems you use matter more than a country label alone.

Guide Privacy & No-logs What does Five Eyes mean when choosing a VPN? Five Eyes is the intelligence partnership of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Membership is relevant jurisdiction context, but it does not by itself establish what a VPN collects or whether a provider outside the group is safer.

Tip Privacy & No-logs Can a VPN make you 100% anonymous? No. A VPN can encrypt traffic between your device and the VPN gateway and replace the IP address a destination sees. It cannot erase account logins, cookies, browser fingerprints, payments, malware, or information you disclose yourself. It also cannot control what destinations retain.

Guide Privacy & No-logs What does a VPN no-logs audit actually prove? It provides evidence about a defined assertion, subject matter and scope for a stated period or point in time.

Treat each data category separately.
