22VPN Privacy Policy

Summary

Who we are

22SERVICE LLC-FZ ("We", "Our" or "Us") collects and processes your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Policy provides you with the necessary information regarding your rights and our obligations and explains how, why and when we process your personal data. Our general principle is to collect only the information that is necessary to provide you with full functionality of our products and services. We strictly follow the principle of "minimization" when processing your data.

22SERVICE LLC-FZ is a free-zone limited liability company registered in the United Arab Emirates. 22SERVICE LLC-FZ acts as the data controller when processing your data.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or if you want to exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Please read this Privacy Policy thoroughly. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our software and services, do not visit our website, and do not provide your information to us.

Compliance with third-party platforms and agreements

22VPN operates in full compliance with:

By installing or using 22VPN through Google Play or the Apple App Store, you also agree to the respective platform's terms in addition to ours. Where there is a conflict between platform terms and ours regarding your purchase from that platform, the platform terms govern that purchase.

What data we process

We process different data depending on the situation. Some data may be treated as personal data ("Personal Data") under the laws of certain territories. "Personal Data" or "personal information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, excluding any anonymized and depersonalized data where your identity is absent or has been removed and cannot be recovered.

When you are using our website

When you visit 22vpn.app and its subdomains, we may process limited information necessary for the site to function and for analytics. We use cookies to personalize content (such as setting the default language). None of the information we acquire through the use of cookies is considered Personal Data, as it does not allow us to identify you. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time, but some services may not function properly without them.

Account registration

We process your email address and a hash of the password you provide at registration so that you can retrieve your password if needed.

Sending messages

We may use your email address to make announcements, inform you of updates and new features, provide advice, or communicate with you when reporting errors. You may also consent to receive marketing messages. You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing through your 22VPN Account or by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any newsletter.

Buying a subscription

We process your email address for billing and payment purposes. If you purchase a subscription to 22VPN, we need your contact details to send you information about the purchase. We will also use your email address to create an account that lets you manage your subscription.

Transactions made through our website may be conducted via third-party payment processors. The data processed depends on the payment provider and may include:

Purchases made through Google Play or the Apple App Store are processed by Google or Apple respectively, under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not receive your full payment card details from these platforms.

When you are using our software

Sign-in / Account registration. When signing in or registering, you provide your email address and create a password to establish a VPN connection. We process this essential data to provide you with the 22VPN service.

Usage information. When you use our VPN service, we need to make sure that you stay within the agreed-upon limits. Therefore, we collect data on your traffic usage. This is done for two reasons: to prevent misuse of our service and to know when a user's subscription has expired. We store only the number of bytes used by the account; it is not associated with locations. Traffic usage data is stored for 90 days.

We also collect information on the number of instances of our software that have an active VPN connection for both the free and paid versions. We receive this from our VPN servers through which you establish a VPN connection.

Diagnostic / Device information. If you experience problems and give us your consent, we will collect and process diagnostic information for crash reports and information about the device used to run our software in order to help you.

User experience metrics. To analyze and improve functionality, we collect user experience metrics related to interactions with various screens, including:

All collected data is anonymized and cannot be associated with your 22VPN account under any circumstances. By default this data is not collected. We only gather user experience metrics if you explicitly agree to send them. You may revoke your consent at any time by disabling data collection in the settings of the 22VPN app.

Data we collect on Android (Google Play)

When using 22VPN for Android, we may collect: email address; OAuth provider name (Google/Facebook/Apple, only if used for registration); OS language; app identifier; app version; build identifier; device OS; authorization token; and, if you opt in to crash reporting, device name and model, OS version and kernel build, root status, Android ID, RAM details, screen orientation/resolution/density, and crash-related information (error message, stack trace, last lines of the log file). Crash reports are stored on our servers for 30 days.

Data we collect on iOS (Apple App Store)

When using 22VPN for iOS, we may collect: email address; OAuth provider name (only if used for registration); app identifier; app version; device OS; OS language; Apple AdServices Token (for Apple Search Ads attribution); and, if you opt in to crash reporting, app name/version/build number, library versions, crashed process name, environment type, OS and version, device name/model/ID, and user ID. Crash reports are stored on our servers for 30 days.

Legal bases for processing your Personal Data

No Refund Policy

All sales are final. 22SERVICE LLC-FZ does not offer refunds for any subscription purchases, renewals, or in-app purchases made through our website, the Google Play Store, or the Apple App Store.

By purchasing a subscription to 22VPN, you acknowledge and agree that:

Before subscribing, we strongly encourage you to use the free version of 22VPN to ensure the service meets your needs.
