Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Hongxing VPN (referred to as 'this Service' or 'we') handles personal information related to the mobile application (referred to as the 'App'). We provide the service under a data-minimization approach and protect user privacy within this policy framework.
When you download and launch the App, we may collect necessary operational data, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device operating system version, in-app access paths, crash logs, and session duration. To recommend suitable nodes and improve connection quality, we may process approximate region information. This data is used to: 1. recommend connection options based on Hongxing VPN's node distribution; 2. identify regional network issues through anonymized aggregate data; 3. send important service updates, security notices, or account reminders. Sensitive data retention follows the limits in this policy.
We only transmit anonymized or aggregated data to necessary third-party providers, such as Google Play Services and Firebase, for crash analysis, performance diagnostics, and feature improvements. We do not share personal information except when: 1. required by legal process or regulation; 2. necessary to protect user safety or investigate fraud; 3. working with service providers bound by confidentiality obligations. To stop new data collection, remove the App through your device standard uninstall process.
User-provided data is retained during the service period and a reasonable grace period afterward. To cancel your account and delete personal profile data, contact our privacy team at [email protected]. The App is not intended for children under 13; if we discover mistakenly collected child data, we will delete it as soon as possible. Guardians may contact us through the same email. We use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect data security.
This Privacy Policy may be updated due to regulatory requirements, product features, or business changes. Please review this page periodically. Continued use after changes are published means you accept the updated policy. This policy is effective as of October 4, 2025. For privacy questions or suggestions, contact the Hongxing VPN team by email ([email protected]).
