Privacy Policy

Psiphon is committed to protecting the privacy interests of its customers, end users, distributors and suppliers. This privacy policy is intended to provide you with general information on how your personal information may be used. Psiphon is a Canadian corporation with its head office located in Ontario, and our privacy policy has been developed to reflect Canadian and Ontario privacy laws and statutes.

Psiphon's privacy policy consists of the following practices:

Psiphon is designed to provide you with open access to online content. Psiphon does not increase your online privacy, and should not be considered or used as an online security tool.

We collect the following data to find out how well Psiphon is working, what sites are popular and what propagation strategies are effective. This information is shared with our partners so that they can see, for example, how often their sites are visited through Psiphon and from which countries.

• Number of email requests for client download link
• Number of upgrades
• How often each protocol is used, and error codes after failure
• How often new servers are discovered
• Session count and session duration
• Page views (full page URLs for sponsor web sites)
• Bytes transferred
• Number of HTTPS requests
• Client platform (simple operating system list; e.g, not browser user agent)

User IP addresses and email addresses are never collected; users are not required to create accounts to use the system.

Event logs include timestamps, region codes (GeoIP country code) and non-identifying attributes including sponsor ID (determined by which Psiphon client is used), client version, and protocol type. Page views are aggregated by time and/or session before being logged.

All statistics shared with sponsors are further aggregated by date, sponsor, and region.

From time to time Psiphon may have to record additional information in order to resolve a problem with our service. When this occurs, we will add an entry here describing what was recorded, how long it was kept, and why.
