Processing of Your Data

Octopus VPN handles user data only minimally, strictly as necessary to deliver Octopus VPN services, process payments, and operate the Octopus VPN website and mobile applications.

Personal data is processed by Octopus VPN automatically and manually. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, neither Octopus VPN nor a designated subsidiary in your country will act as the primary data controller. Octopus VPN engages third-party data processors solely for payment processing, email services, marketing, and basic website and app analytics. Octopus VPN adheres to a strict no-logs policy, meaning activities conducted via Octopus VPN services are facilitated by automated technical processes and are not monitored, recorded, logged, stored, or shared with third parties.

Data Collected

User registration may be required. If you choose to create an account, you must provide the following basic details:

Email Address

We request your email address during registration to ensure we can communicate with you regarding announcements, service updates, or issue reports. A valid email address may also be necessary for password recovery and establishing a connection to Octopus VPN.

Payment Data

In addition to standard payment methods (e.g., credit cards), our payment partners manage billing information for transaction processing and refund requests. You must keep this information current, accurate, and complete. You authorize us to verify your details at any time. If information is found to be false, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, we reserve the right, at our discretion, to suspend or terminate your account and access to Octopus VPN services.

To maintain the Octopus VPN service, we also process limited technical data, which may qualify as personal data. This data helps improve the functionality and usability of our website and services. If you decline to provide this information, we may not be able to offer the full range of Octopus VPN services. This data may include:

Server Load Information

We monitor server performance to recommend the most suitable servers to our users.

Targeted Advertising

We may collaborate with third-party ad networks that gather unique device identifiers (UDIDs), browser type, operating system, time zone, country, referring pages, and other details via cookies and pixel tags on Octopus VPN websites, apps, emails, and third-party platforms. They use this data to display personalized ads, including from unaffiliated companies. You may see these ads on Octopus VPN platforms and third-party sites/apps across multiple devices. We may use this process to enhance our marketing efforts. To learn more about these advertisers and opt-out options, visit the National Advertising Initiative here. Note that opting out does not stop generic ads.

Octopus VPN does not control these third-party cookies, so we advise reviewing their privacy policies.

We recommend caution when sharing personal data via third-party services, including social media. Below is our business partner with whom we exchange user data and usage analytics:
