Privacy Policy (United States)
Quick take: VPN World does not sell your personal information. Analytics (GA4) is opt-in — it runs only if you choose “Allow analytics.” Your choice is stored locally in your browser.

1) Who we are
VPN World is an independent informational site about VPNs, privacy, and practical cybersecurity. This page explains how VPN World (US) handles cookies and basic usage data.
Privacy contact: u1797008805@gmail.com.
2) What we collect
VPN World is built to minimize data collection. Depending on your choices and how you use the site, we may process:
- Basic technical info (browser type, device type, approximate region/country, referral source) — typically via analytics, only if you opt in.
- Usage info (pages viewed, time on page, high-level engagement events) — via GA4, only if you opt in.
- Email content if you contact us (your email address and message text).
We do not run user accounts on this site and we do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information.
3) Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small files stored on your device. VPN World uses cookies/local storage mainly for:
- Consent preference: we store your analytics choice locally as vpnworld_consent.
- Analytics cookies: only if you opt in to analytics.
4) Your choices (opt-in / opt-out)
VPN World (US) uses an opt-in approach: analytics is off by default. You can change your choice at any time here.
Current status
Analytics consent: Opted out
Opting out sets analytics_storage to denied going forward. Existing cookies (if any) may remain until they expire or you remove them in your browser settings.
5) Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
If you opt in, VPN World uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand which guides are helpful, which pages need improvements, and how users move through the site (navigation, readability, structure).
- Tool: Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
- Purpose: traffic measurement and site improvement
- Data: aggregated statistics about visits and interactions
- Control: opt in/out using the controls above
6) Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Some browsers and extensions support Global Privacy Control (GPC), a signal that expresses a preference to opt out of certain types of tracking. On VPN World (US), analytics is already off by default (opt-in).
In addition, if your browser sends a GPC signal, VPN World treats it as an opt-out request and keeps analytics disabled even if you previously opted in.
7) “Do Not Sell/Share” statement
VPN World does not sell your personal information. We also do not knowingly “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in the way it is typically defined in US state privacy laws.
If you opt in to analytics, GA4 may process identifiers/cookies used for measurement and reporting. You can opt out at any time.
8) Embedded content
Some pages may embed third-party content (for example, YouTube videos). Embedded content can behave as if you visited the third-party site directly.
Where possible, we use privacy-enhanced embeds (for example youtube-nocookie.com) to reduce tracking until you interact with the player. After interaction, third-party providers may process data under their own privacy policies.
9) Affiliate + external links
VPN World may use affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, VPN World may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund content updates and testing.
We also link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
For transparency, see: Disclosure.
10) Retention
- Consent preference stays in your browser until you change it or clear site data.
- Analytics data (if opted in) is stored and processed in GA4 as aggregated reporting to analyze trends.
- Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to respond and keep minimal records.
11) Security
VPN World applies reasonable safeguards (data minimization by default, opt-in analytics, consent controls). However, no website can guarantee perfect security.
12) US privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, deletion, or correction of certain personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. Because VPN World does not maintain user accounts and keeps data collection minimal, most requests relate to email communications or analytics preferences.

13) Changes
We may update this policy as the site or tools change. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version.
