c) For contract management. If we enter into a contract with you or the entity you represent, we process your data (such as full name, position, business address, represented entity’s information, and signature) for the agreement conclusion, administration, and termination purposes.

d) Website support and security. Like many websites on the internet, our website collects access logs (e.g. your IP address, operating system, and browser information). This information is essential for fighting DDoS attacks, scanning, and similar hacking attempts. We also use this information to help us to better design our site, help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website.

e) Analyzing and improving our website and user experience. For this purpose, we use analytics service providers (e. g. Google Analytics, Hotjar). Aggregate information that they help us collect does not directly identify you, but provides us with various statistics, like which pages visitors visit the most and for how long they stay there. We may also see the following: your device's IP address, device type, browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language, the title of the page being viewed, screen size and resolution, out links, referrers, page, and website speed. For the collection of such information, our service providers mostly use cookies.

f) Offering our Service. We may contact you via email for this purpose, but we also encourage you to contact us via our online contact form to get the best VPN offer for your business. For us to be able to address your requests effectively, we may ask you to provide some information about you and your company.

g) Communicating with users and customer support. We use user email addresses to i) send important updates and announcements related to the use of our Service; ii) respond to user requests or inquiries. In addition to user email, we may process your basic inquiry and device information, and other information that is provided by the user during the conversation.

h) Providing the option to contact us via the chatbot. If you contact us via the chatbot on our website, we will process your contact information and the information provided in your message. Our chatbot provider may also be able to see your IP address and geo-location information. It also collects various cookie data that enables us to track the activities of our website visitors within our website. We use this information to understand how visitors interact with our website.

i) To interact with you via social media. Where you interact with us via social media, we may process information available on your social media profile, also your inquiry or post information, and other information you provide us with.

j) Advertising. We may receive certain data about you, such as cookie id, mobile device id, your name, position, or email address, and inferences about your interests and preferences from certain advertisers and advertising partners for advertising purposes. Our advertising partners help us deliver more relevant ads and promotional messages to you, which may include interestbased advertising (also known as online behavioral advertising) and account-based advertising.

k) Accounting, legal requirements, and legal processes. We are subject to accounting, tax, and other statutory requirements. We also may have to protect our legitimate interests and legal rights. In these cases, we are required to collect and store a limited amount of certain information, such as your full name, contact information, subscription information, transaction and payment information, and legal documents.

Please note that depending on circumstances that are impossible to define in advance, the categories of information we collect may vary.
