Privacy is a major focus for PureVPN:
- PureVPN doesn’t track or store what you do online — and they’ve proven it through independent audits.
- Strong encryption keeps your connection private and secure.
- Kill switch protects your data if the VPN connection drops unexpectedly.
- Split tunneling lets you choose which apps or websites use the VPN and which connect directly.
- Tracker Blocker and Dark Web Monitoring are available on premium plans for even more protection.
- Based in the British Virgin Islands, a privacy-friendly location with no mandatory data retention laws.
PureVPN now gives you strong, real-world privacy protection without making anything complicated — perfect for staying private whether you’re browsing, streaming, or traveling.
Note: In 2017, PureVPN faced criticism after cooperating with law enforcement while marketing a “no-logs” policy. This understandably raised concerns in the privacy community.
Since then, PureVPN has taken major steps to rebuild trust. They’ve overhauled their policies, adopted a strict, independently verified no-logs stance, and introduced an always-on audit system — meaning a top-tier security firm can inspect their systems at any time without notice. This adds strong, ongoing accountability to their privacy claims. Further strengthening this commitment, they also relocated from Hong Kong to the British Virgin Islands in 2021 — a jurisdiction with no mandatory data retention laws.
Based on these verifiable changes, we consider the past concerns to have been responsibly addressed.
