PureVPN’s Q1 2025 Transparency Report: Proof That Your Privacy Comes First

At PureVPN, our no-logs policy isn’t just a claim – it’s a commitment backed by action, independent audits, and transparency. Every quarter, we publish our Transparency Report to give you full visibility into the types and volume of third-party data requests we receive and how we respond.

Our Transparency Report for the first three months of 2025 is now live on our Trust Center, reaffirming what sets PureVPN apart as a truly secure VPN provider: zero data retention, zero disclosures, and zero compromises on privacy.

No-Logs Policy: The Backbone of a Secure VPN Service

PureVPN does not collect or store any user activity logs, IP addresses, browsing history, or connection timestamps. 

We undergo regular independent audits that prove our no-logs policy, proving our infrastructure is designed with privacy-first security protocols that protect your data, even when authorities knock.

Beyond our PureVPN privacy policy and our “Always-On” audit, we are also a proud member of the i2Coalition’s VPN Trust Initiative (VTI), recognizing excellence in security, privacy, advertising practices, disclosure, and social responsibility across the VPN sector.

Our PureVPN Trustpilot reviews further reflect the confidence users place in us as a safe, no-logs VPN provider. Additionally, PureVPN leverages an ISO 27001:2022 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS), underscoring its dedication to globally recognized standards in managing sensitive data.

Why Transparency Reports Matter More Than Ever

In an age where data requests are rising, it’s not enough to promise online privacy. A transparency report provides verifiable proof that your information stays private, regardless of how often or how urgently it’s requested.

Transparency reports provide an essential window into how VPN providers like PureVPN handle requests from authorities, corporations, and cybersecurity entities while complying with global security standards.

With PureVPN, you can rest easy knowing:

• We scrutinize every request.
• We operate under zero-log systems.
• We have nothing to hand over, because we never collect your data.
