501D / PRIVACY

Privacy without impossible promises

A VPN changes the network path. It does not erase every source of identity.

01

What changes

Traffic selected by the operating system is routed through the encrypted tunnel to a VPN gateway. Destinations see the gateway public address rather than the address of the local connection.

02

What remains

Signed-in accounts, cookies, browser characteristics, and application data can still identify a user. End-to-end protocols such as HTTPS remain important beyond the VPN gateway.

03

Policy before claims

Operational data practices and retention commitments must be described in the legal privacy policy. This page does not substitute architecture language for a binding policy.
