Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

FoxWay directly requests only the limited information needed to manage Your account and communicate with You. When advertising is enabled for an eligible free-plan mobile user, Google may also process the advertising data described below. The specific data collected varies by platform:

Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)

• Email address: Required for account creation and authentication. Your email is retained even after account deletion solely to prevent abuse of our free plan through repeated registrations.
• Authentication information: When You use Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple, the provider supplies a signed authentication token and limited account identity information, such as Your email address when available. FoxWay validates that token to authenticate Your account. We do not receive or store Your Google or Apple account password.
• Payment information (iOS): All iOS payments are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store. FoxWay does not have access to or store Your payment card details. Apple provides Us only with subscription status and transaction identifiers necessary to activate Your service.
• Payment information (Android): Android subscription payments are processed through Google Play. FoxWay does not have access to or store Your payment card details. Google Play provides Us with subscription status and purchase identifiers necessary to verify and manage Your service.
• Support correspondence: Any troubleshooting details or questions You voluntarily submit when contacting Our support team.
• Advertising and consent data: For eligible free-plan iOS and Android users, Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform may process IP address (which may be used to infer coarse location), advertising and other device identifiers, advertising data, interactions with ads and the app, and diagnostic, performance, or crash data. FoxWay does not send proxy browsing activity to Google for advertising.

Chrome Extension

• Google Account Information: When You log in using Your Google account, We securely access Your Google email and Your FoxWay User ID. We use the identity permission to securely invoke launchWebAuthFlow, allowing You to select Your preferred Google account for login. No Google-related tokens are stored locally; only Your Google email and unique FoxWay User ID are kept for reference.
• Subscription Status: We periodically retrieve Your subscription status from the FoxWay API to automatically adjust proxy settings and ensure You have the appropriate level of access.
• Payment Information: When You purchase a subscription, We use Stripe, a secure third-party payment gateway, to process the transaction. FoxWay receives confirmation of Your payment, including transaction details such as the payment method, transaction ID, and payment status. This data is used only to verify Your purchase, activate Your subscription, and ensure ongoing access to Our services. We do not store Your payment card details.
• Proxy Settings: We store settings related to Your personalized proxy configurations to ensure smooth service access.

Usage Data

Advertising and Privacy Choices (Mobile Free Plan)

FoxWay uses Google AdMob to help fund the free mobile plans on iOS and Android. Advertising is shown only when the advertising feature is enabled and Your account is eligible for the free plan; paid and active gifted-premium users are not intended to receive ads or advertising permission prompts.

• iOS tracking permission: On iOS, before FoxWay permits use of Apple's advertising identifier for tracking, iOS asks for permission through App Tracking Transparency. If You decline, FoxWay disables personalized advertising treatment and its publisher first-party identifier. You may still receive limited or non-personalized ads where permitted.
• Android advertising controls: On Android, You can reset or delete the advertising identifier through the Android settings made available on Your device. Google applies consent and privacy signals when determining the appropriate ad-serving mode.
• Regional consent choices: On mobile platforms, where required, Google's User Messaging Platform asks for advertising consent and provides choices to consent, decline, or manage options. Ad requests do not begin until the applicable consent flow is complete and Google reports that ads may be requested.
• Your control: Your decision does not restrict Your use of FoxWay. You can change Apple's tracking permission in iOS Settings, use the Android advertising-identifier controls available on Your device, and, when required for Your region, reopen Privacy Choices from FoxWay's Account settings.
• Data separation: FoxWay never supplies Google with the websites You visit, DNS requests, proxy traffic content, proxy session history, or the list of sites in Your proxy rules.

Google processes advertising data under its own policies and may use it to provide, measure, secure, and personalize ads depending on Your choices and applicable law. Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy and Google's explanation of how it uses information from partner apps.

U.S. State Privacy Notice

For eligible free-plan iOS and Android users, FoxWay may disclose device identifiers, coarse location, advertising data, interactions with ads and the app, and diagnostic or performance data to Google for advertising, measurement, consent management, security, and fraud prevention. Depending on the state where You live, personalized advertising disclosures may be defined as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising even though FoxWay does not sell personal information for money.

Where applicable, You may opt out through Privacy Choices in FoxWay's Account settings. An opt-out does not restrict Your use of FoxWay; it limits how Google may use advertising data and may result in limited or non-personalized ads. You may also contact Us using the details below to exercise rights available under Your state's privacy law. FoxWay will not discriminate against You for making a privacy choice or exercising a legal right.

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company uses the limited Personal Data described above solely to:

• Authenticate Users: Verify and manage Your access to the Service's features across all platforms.
• Provide and maintain the Service: Authenticate Your account and deliver subscriptions without monitoring Your browsing activity.
• Process transactions: Through the Apple App Store (for iOS users), Google Play (for Android users), or Stripe (for Chrome Extension users) to manage Your subscription status.
• Automate Proxy Settings: Adjust Your proxy access level based on Your subscription status, ensuring You have uninterrupted access to restricted services as long as Your account is active.
• Communicate with You: About Service updates, security notices, and support responses.
• Prevent abuse: By maintaining a record of email addresses used to register for our free plan, preventing repeated abuse through multiple account creation.
• Enhance User Experience: Retain user preferences and configurations to simplify use.
• Provide and measure advertising: Show ads to eligible free-plan iOS and Android users, manage consent, prevent advertising fraud, and measure ad performance according to Your choices.

Data Retention

We retain user data only for as long as it is necessary to provide the Service's features and maintain accurate records of Your subscription status. The Company retains Your Personal Data as follows:

• Account data: When You delete Your account, all associated account information is immediately removed from Our systems, except for Your email address.
• Email addresses: Your email address is retained indefinitely after account deletion solely to prevent abuse of our free plan through repeated registrations with the same email.
• Support correspondence: Retained only as long as necessary to resolve Your inquiry, then deleted.
• Advertising data: Advertising and consent data handled by Google is retained under Google's policies and Your consent choices. FoxWay does not add proxy browsing activity to that data.
• Chrome Extension data: If You deactivate or uninstall the FoxWay Chrome Extension, Your data will be securely deleted, consistent with Our data retention policies.

We do not retain proxy connection logs, browsing history, or any usage metrics. There are no logs to delete because none are created in the first place.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your account information (email address, subscription status, and proxy configuration settings) may be processed in various regions where Our cloud infrastructure providers operate. Our primary infrastructure provider is Oracle Cloud, though server locations may vary based on operational needs to ensure Service reliability and performance.

For eligible free-plan iOS and Android users, Google may process advertising and consent data in regions where its service providers operate, subject to Google's safeguards and applicable law.

Your proxy traffic may transit servers in multiple jurisdictions worldwide. Because FoxWay does not log or store traffic content, connection metadata, or any browsing activity, these transfers do not create stored datasets about Your online behavior regardless of which jurisdictions Your traffic passes through.

User Rights and Data Control

You have rights regarding the data We collect, including:

• Access and Correction: You may request access to view the personal information We store and correct any inaccuracies.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of Your personal information at any time.
• Restrictions: You may request restrictions on certain uses of Your data.
• Advertising choices: You may change Apple's tracking permission in iOS Settings, use Android advertising-identifier controls available on Your device, and, where available, change Google advertising consent through FoxWay's Privacy Choices entry.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact Us using the contact details provided below.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to delete Your account and associated Personal Data at any time.

You may delete Your account from within the Service or by contacting Us at the address listed below. Upon account deletion:

• Immediately deleted: All account data, authentication credentials, subscription information, and proxy configuration settings are permanently removed from Our systems.
• Retained: Your email address remains in Our system solely to prevent abuse of our free plan through repeated registrations. This email record contains no other information about You or Your account.
• Payment data (iOS): Managed entirely by Apple through the App Store. To delete payment information, You must do so through Your Apple account settings.
• Payment data (Android): Managed by Google through Google Play. To manage or cancel Your Google Play subscription or payment information, use Your Google Play account settings.
• Payment data (Chrome Extension): Managed by Stripe. To delete payment information, You must contact Stripe directly or manage it through Your Stripe account if applicable.

Because We do not keep proxy usage logs, connection records, or browsing history, there is no usage data associated with Your account for Us to delete or disclose.

Information Sharing

FoxWay does not sell Your data for money or rent it. We disclose data only in the limited circumstances below. As explained in the U.S. State Privacy Notice, some laws may classify personalized-advertising disclosures to Google as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising, for which applicable users can opt out.

• Apple Inc.: For iOS users, to provide Sign in with Apple, process payments through the App Store, and verify subscription status.
• Google: For users who choose Google Sign-In, We securely communicate with Google to verify Your identity. For Android users, Google Play processes subscription payments and provides the limited purchase and subscription information needed to verify and manage access. For eligible free-plan iOS and Android users, Google AdMob and the User Messaging Platform process the advertising and consent data described above to provide and measure ads, manage consent, and protect against advertising fraud.
• Stripe: For Chrome Extension users, financial and payment information is processed securely by Stripe, a trusted payment provider. We receive only limited transaction details necessary to activate and manage Your subscription.
• FoxWay API: We use the FoxWay API to check and manage Your subscription status and apply proxy settings based on Your current access level.

We take the security of Your data seriously and protect it by transmitting all personal or sensitive information over secure HTTPS connections.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, only the limited Personal Data described in this policy may be transferred. We will provide notice before personal information becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy, and any successor must honor this Privacy Policy and the no-log commitment before access is granted.

Law Enforcement and Legal Requests

Security of Your Personal Data

Future Security Audits

As a small company, We are currently focused on building and maintaining Our Service. We plan to pursue independent security audits and certifications once We have acquired sufficient capital to support such initiatives. This will provide third-party verification of Our no-log claims and security practices.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
