That’s a guarantee that, even if a malicious hacker or government manages to acquire this data, none of your sensitive information will ever be leaked because these details simply won’t exist.
While this latest audit validates Proton VPN’s no-logs claim, the service’s privacy commitment extends far further.
For starters, its apps are open source, meaning that anyone can examine their code. The provider even runs a bug bounty program, which rewards researchers who uncover flaws.
The same can not be said for all VPNs, particularly free VPNs, which may keep logs that potentially identify you as a user. This data could be sold to or shared with third parties, or otherwise stolen in a data breach, putting your privacy at risk in the process.
You can access the full results of all of Proton VPN’s external audits regardless of whether you’re an existing subscriber or simply evaluating the service.
