PureVPNOnline PrivacyTransparency in Action: How PureVPN’s Annual Transparency Report Puts User Privacy First

At PureVPN, safeguarding user privacy is not just a commitment – it’s the foundation of everything we do. That’s why we continue to publish our annual Transparency Report, now available on our Trust Center.

It offers a clear record of the number and nature of requests we receive over the past year, highlighting our unwavering commitment to transparency and user trust.

PureVPN’s No-Logs Promise

As a verified no-logs VPN, PureVPN collects no user activity logs, IP addresses, browsing history, or connection timestamps. Independent audits confirm this, ensuring we have no data to share, no matter the request. This no-logs policy is the cornerstone of our mission to deliver global internet security.

Why Transparency Reports Matter

When choosing a VPN, it’s easy to get caught up in promises. But the true test of any privacy provider is what happens when authorities, corporations, or intermediaries come knocking.

Our report empowers you with insights into these interactions, proving PureVPN is a safe, no-logs VPN provider. By sharing these details, we foster internet freedom and accountability, giving you confidence in your digital privacy.

Our Transparency Report proves:

  • We assess every request carefully
  • We uphold the no-logs commitment, no matter the request type or urgency
  • We operate under privacy-first systems that ensure no data exists to hand over

This isn’t just about ticking compliance boxes – it’s about protecting your right to privacy, even when others demand otherwise.

2. Emergency Disclosures Report

We handled 24 emergency disclosure requests from law enforcement and other authorities across various regions. Despite the urgency, no user data was shared, as our infrastructure is designed to retain no personally identifiable information or connection logs.

3. Spamming

  • Spamming: 64 reports of high-volume spam emails.

In 2024, we received zero court orders for law enforcement purposes. This absence underscores the strength of our privacy-first infrastructure and our commitment to limiting data collection.

5. Subpoenas

We processed 6 subpoena requests in 2024 from various entities, including domestic policy councils and law enforcement agencies, seeking basic details such as names or addresses for criminal proceedings. With no user activity data stored, we disclosed nothing, upholding your privacy.

A Look Back: 2024 vs. 2023

This year, we processed 60,385 requests and complaints, a 16% decrease from the 71,778 received in 2023. This reduction reflects our proactive efforts to strengthen security protocols and address potential issues before they escalate. Importantly, no requests in 2024 resulted in any user data disclosure, aligning with PureVPN’s no-logs commitment.
