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.
TunnelBear LLC is the operator named in the provider’s published material.
The policy lists no logging of website visitor IPs, VPN connection IPs, DNS requests, or the applications/services/websites used through the VPN. Email address, email verification, paid status, and subscription expiry; an optional Twitter ID is also listed. TunnelBear stores cardholder last name, last four digits, and the date of card use. Processors can hold billing address, expiry, and IP at payment. TunnelBear says it does not store the full card number.

Exact ambiguous numeric report-date notation is not converted to an ISO date.
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.
