1. Data we may process
The data involved depends on how the user interacts with the service.
Account data
When registering or using an account, the following may be processed:
- email address;
- name or display name;
- account identifier;
- password in a protected form;
- plan and subscription term information;
- history of support requests.
Payment data
When making a payment, the following may be processed:
- order number;
- payment amount and currency;
- transaction date and status;
- selected plan;
- technical payment identifier.
Full bank card details, including the CVC/CVV code, are normally processed by a third-party payment operator and are not shared with us unless explicitly stated otherwise at payment.
Technical data
SpireVPN does not keep or store technical logs. To operate the service, technical data may be processed at the time of a request or connection without being recorded in logs:
- IP address;
- device type;
- operating system;
- application version;
- device language and region;
- browser information;
- current connection parameters;
- information about the operation of the application and VPN connection.
Real-time processing to operate the service does not mean that request, connection or error histories are stored. No such logs are created.
Support request data
If a user contacts support, we may process:
- name;
- email address;
- request contents;
- device information;
- plan and order information;
- attachments and screenshots sent by the user.
Do not send passwords, verification codes or full bank card details to support.
2. VPN connection data
To establish and maintain a VPN connection, the infrastructure processes current connection parameters without storing them in logs.
This data may include:
- account identifier;
- selected server;
- current parameters required for data transmission.
We keep no logs: we do not store browsing history, traffic contents, DNS requests, IP addresses, VPN session history, transferred traffic volumes or technical error logs. There are no exceptions for temporary diagnostics. Account data, payment data and messages voluntarily sent to support are processed separately as described in this Policy.
3. Purposes of data processing
We may use data for the following purposes:
- registering and maintaining accounts;
- providing access to the VPN service;
- processing payments and managing subscriptions;
- sending service notifications;
- responding to user requests;
- restoring account access;
- protecting infrastructure security;
- detecting fraud and abuse;
- investigating technical problems using information voluntarily sent to support by the user;
- improving the website, application and service;
- fulfilling legal obligations;
- protecting the rights and legitimate interests of the user and service owner.
We do not use data for purposes unrelated to service operation without an appropriate basis or notice to the user.
4. Cookies and analytics
The website may use cookies and similar technologies.
They may be used for:
- saving user preferences;

5. Sharing data with third parties
We may share necessary data with the following categories of recipients:

Third parties receive only the amount of data necessary to perform the relevant function.
We do not sell users' personal data to third parties unless expressly stated otherwise in this Policy.
6. Payment services
Third-party payment systems may be used to process payments
Payment data processing is governed by the relevant operator's privacy policy. The user should read those rules before making a payment.
7. Data retention
We retain data only for the period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy or for the period prescribed by applicable law.
Retention periods may depend on the data category:
- account data — until the account is deleted or retention is no longer needed;
- payment data — for the period needed to confirm the transaction and fulfill obligations;
- support requests — 365 days;
- data relating to legal requirements — for the prescribed period.
After the retention period expires, data is deleted, anonymized or archived if further retention is required by law.
8. Data protection
We use reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect data against:
- unauthorized access;
- loss;
- alteration;
- disclosure;
- destruction;
- unlawful use.
These measures may include encryption, access controls, backups, employee permissions allocated according to their duties and security monitoring.
However, no method of transmitting or storing data can guarantee absolute security.
9. International data transfers
Depending on the infrastructure used, data may be processed or stored on servers located in different countries.
Where operating the service requires data to be transferred outside the user's country, the transfer is made with regard to applicable legal requirements and necessary safeguards.
10. User rights
Depending on applicable law, the user may have the right to:
- request information about the data being processed;
- request correction of inaccurate data;
