Data We Collect
A plain-language, itemized version of section 2 of the Privacy Policy — this is the page to check against the app's Google Play "Data Safety" declaration.
Short version: no name, no email, no phone number, no browsing
history, no DNS logs. What follows is the complete list of
everything else.
Collected and linked to your subscriber ID or Telegram ID
| Data type | Collected? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone number | Never | Neither the app nor the bot has a traditional account/login system |
| Anonymous subscriber ID (app) | Yes | Links a purchase to your VPN credentials; generated on-device/backend, not derived from any personal identifier |
| Google Play purchase token & product ID | Yes, only if you purchase in-app | Verifying and provisioning a paid subscription |
| Telegram user ID (bot) | Yes, only if you message @remsysvpn_bot | Shared automatically by Telegram to any bot you message; used to credit purchases/top-ups and deliver your connection link |
| Card payment details (card number, billing address) | Never — handled entirely by Google Play Billing or our payment processor | — |
| Crypto transaction reference | Yes, only if you pay by crypto | Confirm the payment on-chain and credit your bot balance |
| Precise/approximate location | No | The app does not request location permission |
| Contacts, photos, files, calendar | No | Not requested or accessed |
| Camera | Only if you scan a QR code | Reads a subscription QR code locally on-device — no photo/video is captured, stored, or transmitted |
Collected but not linked to you personally
| Data type | Collected? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Browsing history / websites visited / DNS queries | Never | End-to-end encrypted inside the VPN tunnel — not technically visible to us; see Security & Encryption |
| Connection timestamps & total bytes transferred | Yes | Required to enforce your plan's data/time limits |
| Connecting IP address | Transiently, to route the connection | Technically required for any network connection; also used for basic rate-limiting on our backend API to prevent abuse |
| App analytics / advertising identifiers | Never | No analytics, ads, or tracking SDKs are bundled in the app |
| Crash reports | Not by us | No crash-reporting SDK is bundled; any OS-level crash reporting (e.g. Android's own) is governed by the OS vendor, not us |
What we never do
- We never sell personal data to third parties.
- We never share data with advertisers.
- We never log the content or destinations of your VPN traffic.
- We never require a real-world identity to use the free tier.
