Privacy Policy

Tunnelguru Tunnel ( A band of Latency Technology llp ) is committed to protecting your privacy. We want you to understand what information we collect, what we don’t collect, and how we collect, use, and store information.We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries.

Our guiding principle toward data collection is to collect only the minimal data required to operate a world-class TUNNEL service at scale. We designed our systems to not have sensitive data about our customers; even when compelled, we cannot provide data that we do not possess.

General Information


Tunnelguru Tunnel collects three types of information:

(i) Information related to your account (“personal information”)
This information is collected for the purpose of administering your Tunnelguru TUNNEL subscription and includes your name, email address, and payment information, which you submit on our order page when you subscribe for the Services.
(ii) Aggregate Apps and TUNNEL connection summary statistics
Tunnelguru TUNNEL collects minimal information about usage in order to maintain excellent customer support and quality of service. The section below specifies in detail what information we collect. These statistics never include anything about what the user did with the TUNNEL: no data about the contents or destinations of TUNNEL traffic, no DNS queries, and no IP addresses.
(iii) (User-controlled option): Anonymous TUNNEL connection diagnostics and crash reports
TUNNEL connection diagnostics are anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual Tunnelguru Tunnel users. This feature is similar to a “send bug report” option. Users can specify in the settings menu of any Tunnelguru Tunnel App whether to send these data to us.

Personal Information


Tunnelguru Tunnel collects personal information that you provide to us directly through the Site. We require that you provide personal information, such as an email address and payment information, in order to establish an Tunnelguru Tunnel account, and so that we can email you, collect payments from you, and respond to support queries that you initiate. The specific information collected varies depending on the payment method you choose. To minimize the amount of personal information you submit to us, we recommend that you use Bitcoin payments when subscribing to our Service.

With some forms of payment, the Site may redirect you to the website of a third-party payment processor (namely PayPal, BitPay, or Paymentwall) to complete the transaction. To understand what personal information these processors collect and store, please refer to the respective processor’s terms and privacy policy.

Tunnelguru Tunnel uses your email address for the following reasons:

  • To send emails related to payment transactions.
  • To provide links to our Site, including password reset emails.
  • To send you updates and announcements.
  • To communicate with you about your TUNNEL services or respond to your communications.
  • To send marketing information, such as Tunnelguru Tunnel offers, surveys, invitations, and content about other matters in connection with Tunnelguru TUNNEL (“Marketing emails”). You may choose to not receive Marketing emails by following the opt-out procedure described in these emails.

Tunnelguru Tunnel uses your personal information only for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Aggregate Apps and TUNNEL Connection Summary Statistics


We ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries. Therefore:

  • We do not know which user ever accessed a particular website or service.
  • We do not know which user was connected to the TUNNEL at a specific time or which TUNNEL server IP addresses they used.
  • We do not know the set of original IP addresses of a user’s computer.

Should anyone try to compel Tunnelguru Tunnel to release user information based on any of the above, we cannot supply this information because the data don’t exist.

In order to maintain excellent customer support and quality of service, Tunnelguru Tunnel collects the following information related to your TUNNEL usage:

We collect information related to which Apps and Apps version(s) you have activated. Knowing your current version of the Apps allows our Support Team to troubleshoot technical issues with you.

https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy


Successful connection

We collect information about first time login date and time so that we know about the exact activation time of your pin. And this information is true for the users who purchase credentials from our resellers or from retails shops. We also collect information about whether you have successfully established a TUNNEL connection on a particular day (but not a specific time of the day), to which TUNNEL location (but not your assigned outgoing IP address), and from which country/ISP (but not your source IP address). This minimal information assists us in providing technical support, such as identifying connection problems, providing country-specific advice about how to best use our Service, and to enable Tunnelguru Tunnel engineers to identify and fix network issues.

Aggregate sum of data transferred (in MB)

We collect information regarding the total sum of data transferred by a given user. Although we provide unlimited data transfer, if we notice that a single user pushes more traffic than thousands of others combined, thereby affecting the quality of service for other Tunnelguru Tunnel users, we may contact that user for an explanation.

Summary

We collect minimal usage statistics to maintain our quality of service. We may know, for example, that our customer John had connected to our New York TUNNEL location on Tuesday and had transferred an aggregate of 823 MB of data across a 24-hour period. John can’t be uniquely identified as responsible for any specific behavior because his usage pattern overlaps with thousands of other Tunnelguru Tunnel customers who also connected to the same location on the same day.

We’ve engineered our systems to categorically eliminate storage of sensitive data. We may know THAT a customer has used Tunnelguru Tunnel, but we never know HOW they have utilized our Service. We stand by our firm commitment to our customers’ privacy by not possessing any data related to a user’s online activities.

Anonymous TUNNEL Connection Diagnostics and Crash Reports (can be turned off by the user)


With your permission, we collect anonymized analytics data used for network diagnostics. We use these data in our network operations tools to help optimize network speeds and to let us identify problems related to specific apps, TUNNEL servers, or ISPs. The information we receive is fully anonymized and cannot be tied back to individual Tunnelguru Tunnel users (i.e., we do not store which user sent which data, and we do not store IP addresses).

If you opt in to share this information with Tunnelguru Tunnel, we will collect the following information:

Apple’s crash reporting can be turned off in iOS settings

Jurisdiction and Applicable Law


Tunnelguru Tunnel’s core mission is to keep your information private. We are not at all provoking any of its user to use the app for any illegal activites. Customers are using this software on his or her own liabilites. You should always abide by the law of the country you are residing

Storing of Information Related to Email, Live Chat, and Feedback Forms


Tunnelguru Tunnel keeps records of any correspondence, questions, complaints, or compliments you submit to us through our Site or Services, along with our response. Depending on how you contact Tunnelguru TUNNEL, we may collect your email address and any additional information you provide to us. Having full correspondence records enables our staff to provide the best possible customer support experience.

We use two different third-party platforms for Email Sending: Mailchimp for emails and Facebook Messenger for Live Chat. When you correspond with us using these platforms, your correspondence records, including your name and email address, are stored in their systems. They utilize modern security practices and HTTPS encryption.

Security Measures to Protect Your Information


Tunnelguru Tunnel uses best-in-class physical, procedural, and technical security with respect to our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of information. Access to user information is restricted to staff who require such access to perform their job functions.

While we believe these systems are robust, it is important to understand that no data security measures in the world can offer 100% protection.

Servers are housed in data centers with strong security practices. None of these data centers require us to collect or store any traffic data or personal information related to your use of TUNNEL Services. If any data center were to ask us to log such data, we would immediately cease operations with said data center and find alternative options.

Even if a government were to physically seize one of our TUNNEL servers and manage to break its disk encryption, there would be no logs or information that would tie any individual user to a particular event, website, or behavior.
