This policy explains what data TopVPNTested collects, why, and how it is used. We keep this as simple and clear as possible.
TopVPNTested is a personal project operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom. The site is available at topvpntested.com. For any privacy-related queries, contact us at contact@topvpntested.com.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and which country traffic comes from. This helps us improve the content and identify what is most useful to readers.
Google Analytics collects data including browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on the site, and approximate country of origin. IP addresses are processed briefly by Google to determine country-level location and are not stored. We use IP anonymisation so no precise location data is retained. This data is processed by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
We use cookies to enable Google Analytics. You will be asked for your consent when you first visit the site and can withdraw it at any time.
When you click an affiliate link on this site, the provider you are directed to may set their own cookies to track whether a purchase is made. We do not control or have access to data collected by third-party providers. Please refer to the privacy policy of each individual provider for details.
This site uses Cloudflare to improve performance and security. Cloudflare processes visitor IP addresses and other network data as traffic passes through its network. This data is handled in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
If you contact us by email at contact@topvpntested.com, we will retain your email address and the content of your message only for as long as necessary to respond to your query. We do not add contact email addresses to any mailing list or share them with third parties.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted. Contact emails are retained only for as long as needed to resolve the query they relate to.
This site contains links to external websites including VPN providers and other services. Once you leave TopVPNTested, this privacy policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add new features such as an email newsletter. The date at the bottom of this page will always reflect when the policy was last updated. Significant changes will be noted at the top of the page.
