BestProxyAndVPN.com has developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we may collect, retain, process, share and transfer your Personal Data when you visit our Sites or use our Services. This Privacy Policy applies to your Personal Data when you visit Sites or use Services, and does not apply to online websites or services that we do not own or control.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not constitute a “framework contract” for the purpose of the EU Payment Services Directive (2007/64/EC) or any implementation of that Directive in the European Economic Area.
This Privacy Policy is designed to help you obtain information about our privacy practices and to help you understand your privacy choices when you use our Sites and Services. Please note that our Service offerings may vary by region. This Privacy Policy may be supplemented with additional notices depending on the Sites and Services concerned. Supplementary information on Cookies and Tracking Technologies can be found in the Service Terms.
We have defined some terms that we use throughout the Privacy Policy. You can find the meaning of a capitalised term in the Definitions section.
Please contact us if you have questions about our privacy practices that are not addressed in this Privacy Policy.

A significant benefit and innovation of BestProxyAndVPN.com’s Services is that you can connect your Account with a third-party account or platform. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, an “account connection” with such a third-party is a connection you authorise or enable between your Account and a non-BestProxyAndVPN.com account, payment instrument, or platform that you lawfully control or own. When you authorise such a connection, BestProxyAndVPN.com and the third-party will exchange your Personal Data and other information directly. Examples of account connections include using your third party Account to make payments to BestProxyAndVPN.com or allowing a BestProxyAndVPN.com to charge your third party Account.
If you choose to create an account connection, we may receive information from the third-party about you and your use of the third-party’s service. For example, if you connect your Account to a Paypal account, we will receive Personal Data from Paypal via the account connection. We will use all such information that we receive from a third-party via an account connection in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Information that we share with a third-party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed in accordance with the third-party’s privacy practices. Before authorising an account connection, you should review the privacy notice of any third-party that you authorised to have an account connection that will gain access to your Personal Data as part of the account connection. For example, Personal Data that BestProxyAndVPN.com shares with a third-party account or platform such as a social media account may in turn be shared with certain other parties, including the general public, depending on the account’s or platform’s privacy practices.
7. International transfersOur operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers.
The parties mentioned above may be established in jurisdictions other than your own and outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland. These countries do not always afford an equivalent level of privacy protection. We have taken specific steps, in accordance with EEA data protection law, to protect your Personal Data. Please contact us for more information about this.
If you choose to use our service on infrastructure outside the EEA or Switzerland or connect our Service with platforms outside the EEA or Switzerland, we are required to transfer your Personal Data with those parties in order to provide the requested Service to you.
