What -what Golden Frog does

Golden Frog retains only the minimum amount of data to operate our business and we delete the data as soon as we do not need.

We record the following information and only kept for 30 days:

• source IP address of the client (usually the IP address assigned by the client ISP)
• VyprVPN IP address used by the user
• Log start and stop time
• total number of bytes used

There. That's all we record. More
