CantinaVPN Privacy Policy
1. What we do
We – Tricyrcle Corporation – offer products and services (“Services”) using technologies that enable you to achieve greater online privacy (at an affordable price).
Our CantinaVPN mobile application is available for download from the Google and Apple smartphone app stores. When the application Virtual Private Network (VPN) service is “on” it will establish a secure “tunnel” that routes all your online traffic through a server hosted by a third-party. The third-party server would be one of among tens of thousands that make up a global, community-driven, internet relay network. The established tunnel secures and encrypts your connections to the internet via the third-party server. Therefore all your Internet traffic will appear to come from the internet protocol (“IP”) address of that third-party server.
The secure and encrypted CantinaVPN tunnel provides greater online privacy and prevents eavesdropping by strangers (or even family and friends) who are using the same local network.
2. Why we collect data
Our goal at Tricyrcle is to collect only the minimum data needed to administer and enable your use of this site https://cantinavpn.com (the “Site”), and your use of our Services, including the CantinaVPN mobile application.
