Privacy & audits

This section describes the provider’s published policy and available audit evidence. It is not an independent test of how the service handles your data.

Who operates the service

nordvpn S.A. operates the service from Panama.

Provider states that browsing activity is not logged. Login/account identifiers, email and transaction/order information are distinct from VPN traffic logs. The complete current account policy was not retrieved; the support summary does not describe every category of processing.

What the audit covers

An audit concerns the systems and period described in its scope. It does not establish that a service can never log data or that every app behaves identically.
