How CheapVPN handles browsing, correction messages, administrative cookies and links to VPN providers.
Browsing CheapVPN
You can use the comparison and read our guides without creating an account. This site loads its design assets locally. The site uses minimal operational logs to diagnose faults. Personal exposure reports and their lookup endpoint are excluded from access logging; the new report does not submit browser measurements to the server.
Your exposure report
What can they see? assembles a report in your browser. A same-origin, uncached request provides the IP address seen for that connection and approximate city/network information from locally hosted DB-IP reference databases. No visitor-by-visitor lookup is sent to an external geolocation company. The network may be a VPN, relay or mobile-network exit; the location is an estimate, not GPS or a home address.
The assembled report is not saved in our database, files or browser storage, and browser measurements are not sent back to us. This feature does not write cookies, register a service worker, request camera/microphone/GPS access or create a persistent fingerprint. Minimal operational error logs may still be produced by the hosting system if a request fails.
You can generate a share link containing a selected snapshot in its URL fragment. By default the IP is hidden and identifying details are omitted; you can explicitly include more. Fragments are not sent in HTTP requests to our server, but anyone with the complete link can read its contents. Encoding is not encryption. A recipient, application or browser history/sync may retain a link; it cannot be revoked or given a guaranteed expiry. Shared reports are sender-supplied snapshots, not independently verified claims.
IP location and network estimates use IP Geolocation by DB-IP, with database dates shown in the report.
Messages to the team
When you submit the contact form, CheapVPN stores the message privately so the editorial team can review it. A reply email is optional. We use it to respond to your message. Messages are removed after 90 days when the inbox is next used, or sooner if an editor deletes them. Please leave out passwords, payment details and sensitive browsing information.
The contact form and the private editor area use essential session security. Short-lived rate limits help protect forms from repeated automated submissions.
Provider websites
A deal button takes you to a VPN provider or its affiliate tracking partner. Those services may record the referral and use their own cookies. The destination website’s privacy notice applies there.
Questions about your data
Use the contact form to ask about a message you submitted or request its removal. Include enough detail to identify it without resending sensitive information.
