Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Nival VPN (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use the App.
By using Nival VPN, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
- Information We Collect
Nival VPN is designed to provide VPN connectivity without requiring users to create an account.
We do not require you to provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or home address to use the core VPN functionality.
Depending on the features you use and the third-party services integrated into the App, certain technical information may be processed automatically, including:
Device type and operating system
App version
Network information
IP address
Device or advertising identifiers
App interactions and performance information
Crash logs and diagnostic information
This information may be processed where necessary to operate, maintain, analyze, or improve the App and its services.
2.VPN Connection and VpnService
Nival VPN uses Android's VpnService to provide its core VPN functionality.
When you initiate a VPN connection, Android VpnService is used to establish and manage a VPN tunnel between your device and the selected VPN server.
While the VPN connection is active, network traffic may be routed through the VPN tunnel.
Data transmitted between your device and the VPN tunnel endpoint is encrypted.
VpnService is used only to provide VPN functionality initiated by the user.
Nival VPN does not use VpnService to redirect or manipulate traffic from other applications for advertising or monetization purposes.
You can disconnect the VPN connection at any time from within the App.
3.VPN Traffic
Nival VPN does not intentionally inspect the content of your communications for advertising purposes.
We do not sell the content of your VPN traffic.
When you use the VPN functionality, technical information necessary to establish and maintain the VPN connection may be temporarily processed by the VPN infrastructure.
Any processing necessary for VPN operation is limited to providing and maintaining the requested VPN service.
4.Device Permissions
Nival VPN may request permissions required to provide specific features.
For example, Android may request your authorization before allowing Nival VPN to establish a VPN connection through VpnService.
Permissions are requested only when necessary for the relevant functionality.
You can manage certain permissions through your device settings.
5.Advertising
Nival VPN may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising services.
Depending on the advertising provider and your device settings, these services may process information such as:
Device information
Advertising identifiers
IP address
Approximate location derived from network information
Ad impressions and interactions
App interaction information
Diagnostic information
Third-party advertising providers process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable platform requirements.
Nival VPN does not use VPN traffic content to personalize advertisements.
6.Analytics and Diagnostic Information
We may use analytics or crash-reporting services to understand how the App performs and to identify technical problems.
These services may process information such as:
App interactions
Device and operating system information
App version
Crash reports
Performance information
Diagnostic information
This information is used to maintain and improve the stability and functionality of the App.
7.Third-Party Services
Nival VPN may integrate third-party services necessary for advertising, analytics, diagnostics, infrastructure, or other App functionality.
These third parties may process certain information according to their own privacy policies.
Their data practices are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
8.Speed Test and World Clock
Nival VPN includes additional tools such as Speed Test and World Clock.
The Speed Test feature may process network-related information necessary to measure network performance, such as latency, download speed, and upload speed.
The World Clock feature is used to display time information for supported cities and time zones.
These tools do not require you to create a Nival VPN account.
9.Add Connection Time
Nival VPN may allow users to extend their available VPN connection time through the Add Time feature.
Where advertising is used as part of this feature, the relevant advertising provider may process information as described in the Advertising section of this Privacy Policy.
10.Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
Information may be processed or shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the App, provide VPN functionality, display advertisements, perform analytics, diagnose technical issues, or comply with applicable legal requirements.
We do not share the content of your VPN traffic with advertisers for advertising purposes.
11.Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it is processed, and the practices of third-party service providers.
12.Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed through Nival VPN.
However, no method of electronic transmission, network communication, or data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13.Children’s Privacy
Nival VPN is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected in a manner inconsistent with applicable legal requirements, appropriate steps will be taken to address the information.
14.Your Choices
You can control certain aspects of information processing by:
Starting or stopping the VPN connection at any time
Managing applicable permissions through your device settings
Managing your device's advertising identifier and advertising preferences
Choosing whether to use optional features
Uninstalling Nival VPN
Some information processing may be necessary for features you choose to use.
15.International Data Processing
Depending on the location of VPN servers and third-party service providers, information may be processed in countries or regions other than the one in which you live.
Where applicable, information will be handled in accordance with relevant legal and contractual requirements.
16.Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Nival VPN, legal requirements, platform policies, or our information practices.
Any updates will be made available through the App or the relevant website.
