Logging Policy
Like pretty much all VPN services out there, Private Tunnel claims to not log users’ online activities. The privacy policy also says that it’s a ‘zero-log’ service provider.
That is a lie.
In fact, Private Tunnel’s logging policy is very intrusive.
It collects all this data:
Your originating IP address
Your chosen VPN server IP address
VPN connection timestamps
The amount of bandwidth used per session
These are stored for 14-30 days and are kept “to use with billing issues, troubleshooting, service offering evaluation, TOS issues, AUP issues, and for helping to prevent criminal activity performed over the service.”
Considering that your IP address is a personally identifiable piece of information, it’s very misleading of Private Tunnel to call its service “zero-log.”
Even worse, the policy states that “OpenVPN [and by extension Private Tunnel] cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies when presented with a valid subpoena issued through a competent court of law.”
Coupled with its US jurisdiction, Private Tunnel is far from private.
