'We sometimes use advertisements to support our service, which may use technology such as cookies and web beacons. If you're using the free version, Psiphon warns, there's another issue to think about: This type of data is kept for up to 60 days, before being aggregated into general statistical data 'On a particular day, 250 people connected from New York City using Comcast, and transferred 200GB from and 500GB in total' and deleted. The company emphasizes that it logs the top domains only, and never records the pages you visit, so an individual activity record might look something like 'At a certain time a user connected from New York City, using Comcast, and transferred 100MB from and 300MB in total.' Psiphon may log the fact that you've visited some of the most popular websites, and the number of bytes transferred.

There's the protocol used to connect your city, country and ISP the length of your session, and the number of bytes transferred. Having said that, Psiphon does go on to detail more logging than you might expect. The company doesn't immediately drown you in cookie names or other technical descriptions, instead making an honest attempt to explain to VPN newbies exactly why they should care (VPNs can see unencrypted traffic, maybe amend it, inject ads, perhaps share data with third parties.) It's great to see a privacy policy (opens in new tab) which tries to begin to explain the basic issues rather than whitewash them, and we wish more providers did the same. Point your browser at the service’s privacy policy and one of the first headings you'll see is 'What user information does Psiphon collect?' While many VPNs invest a great deal of time and effort in pretending they absolutely never log anything at all, ever, no sir, not us sir, Psiphon is a little more honest. Psiphon is very upfront about the information it collects on its users (Image credit: Psiphon) Privacy
