Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2025-10-26
Our Commitment to Privacy
Codex VPN is a privacy-first VPN service. We believe your online activity is YOUR business, not ours.
🔒 We do NOT log your IP address
🔒 We do NOT track your browsing history
🔒 We do NOT store connection timestamps
🔒 We do NOT sell your data
This privacy policy explains exactly what we do (and don't) collect.
1. What We DON'T Collect
Codex VPN enforces a strict NO-LOG policy. We do NOT collect or store:
❌ Your real IP address
❌ Websites you visit
❌ DNS queries
❌ Connection timestamps
❌ Bandwidth usage per session
❌ Traffic content or metadata
❌ Individual user activity logs
We cannot provide this data to anyone because WE DON'T HAVE IT.
2. What We DO Collect
To provide our service and prevent abuse, we collect minimal data:
✅ Device Identifier: Anonymous ID for multi-device management (not linked to your identity)
✅ Premium Status: Whether you have an active subscription
✅ Aggregate Metrics: Total active connections (no individual tracking)
✅ Crash Reports: Anonymous error logs to fix bugs
💳 Payment Processing:
• Google Play Billing processes your payments
• We receive only: subscription status and expiry date
• We NEVER see your credit card details
3. Multi-Device Management
Codex VPN allows:
• Free users: 1 device
• Premium users: 5 devices
To enforce device limits, we use:
• Device IDs: Stored temporarily in RAM (not on disk)
• Purchase Token Hash: For premium users (tied to Google Play account)
These identifiers are NOT linked to your browsing activity and are automatically deleted when you disconnect.
4. Data Retention
We keep data for the MINIMUM time necessary:
• Connection Sessions: Stored in RAM only, deleted immediately on disconnect
• Device IDs: Deleted after 5 minutes of inactivity (grace period)
• Server Logs: Kept for 7 days for debugging (NO IP addresses or user activities)
• Crash Reports: Retained until issue is resolved, then deleted
We NEVER store any data on disk that could identify you or your activity.
5. Data Security
We protect your data with industry-leading security:
• TLS 1.3 encryption for all connections
• AES-256-GCM encryption for VPN tunnel
• QUIC protocol
• No data stored on disk (RAM-only sessions)
• Regular security audits
• Secure server infrastructure
Even if our servers were compromised, attackers would find NO user activity data.
6. Third-Party Services
Codex VPN uses these third-party services:
📱 Google Play Services:
• App distribution and updates
• In-app purchases (subscription management)
• Google's Privacy Policy applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy
📊 Google AdMob (Free users only):
• Shows ads to support free service
• Limited tracking for ad personalization
• You can disable personalized ads in Android settings

⚠️ Important: These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them.
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
Under GDPR and data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data.
🔍 What data do we actually have?

8. Legal Requests & Transparency
Thanks to our NO-LOG policy, we have minimal data to share:

• Subscription start/end dates
• Payment method type (Google Play)
❌ We CANNOT provide (because we don't have it):
