Our Cookie Policy provides detailed information about these systems, including how you can configure them based on your personal preferences. 3.

This process is aimed at monitoring service usage, evaluating connection quality, and identifying service or security issues. Such monitoring and recording enable us to respond promptly, continually enhancing our service level. 4.

Users under 13 should not register for our services or provide us personal information, reflecting our high regard for youth privacy and safety. This highlights the responsibility of guardians to ensure minors use internet resources appropriately.

We have set specific retention periods for different types of data and collection situations, aiming to ensure effective data use and processing while protecting user privacy. 7. Data Backup and Security: To prevent data loss or system errors, we implement a data backup policy, regularly creating data copies for quick and accurate recovery in unforeseen circumstances. These backups are executed within specific time windows and enjoy the same level of privacy protection and security controls as the real-time data. Specifically, these backups are only used for restoring system integrity and functionality when necessary, ensuring swift recovery of data and services while maintaining the security of user privacy.

Advertising Cooperation Model Quickdog VPN has gained wide recognition by offering high-quality, free virtual private network services. To support our continuous operation and cover operational costs, we have partnered with a selected range of external advertising partners. Notably, we hold a firm stance on user privacy: we never use users' personal information for any form of targeted promotion unless we have users' direct authorization to share necessary information with these advertising partners. Furthermore, to enable advertisement display, our partners might collect data through cookies, pixel tags, and other advanced tracking technologies while you browse web pages or use our services. This means your browsing habits and preferences may be anonymously tracked for advertisement display. Understand that these data collection activities often go beyond our control and awareness. We always prioritize protecting users' sensitive information and ensure that your personal information is not disclosed without your explicit consent. 12. Contact us kenny@beliads.com
