Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you use top5bestvpnservices.com (“our Site”), you will be regarded as having read and accepted this Privacy Policy. If you don’t wish to be bound by what you read below, you shouldn’t use our Site.
We do not ask you or anyone else to give us any personal information in order to use Top10VPN.
We do collect anonymised information to provide a better service to all our users – from improving our less popular pages to tracking the commissions that allow the site to operate as a free resource.
The only instance when we do collect personal information – specifically, your name and email address - is if, and only if, you submit a review of one of the VPN providers listed on our Site via the review submission forms we host.
We collect information in the following ways:
Once you submit your review, the following personal information will be collected (exactly as submitted):
When you submit a User Review, we will ask for your email address to avoid bogus submissions. We will never share your data with any third-party, unless it is with the VPN provider you are subscribed to but only if you have entered into a prize draw they are running with us (see 'Data use and transfer' for more details). We may occasionally contact you via the email address submitted to ask questions relating to the VPN service you have purchased. We will only email you for this sole purpose.
If you have submitted a question via our User Feedback form, your email address will only be used to send you a reply to your query.
Submitted user reviews and questions may be published on relevant pages of our Site. The published user review or user question will also include your Name, as submitted to us.
As aforementioned, we occasionally collect user reviews as part of prize draws. We will only email the winner(s) of the prize draw in order to award the prize.
If we are jointly running a prize draw with a VPN provider, we will share the winners’ names and email addresses with that same provider for the purpose of awarding the prize. Upon specific request from the provider, we may also share with them the email addresses of all participants that entered their prize draw.
We will only transfer your submitted personal data outside of the EEA if:
Under no other circumstance will your name and email address be used or shared by top5bestvpnservices.com.
Your Name and email address, exactly as submitted to us, will be stored in our secure database for as long as your user feedback is published on our Site.
We occasionally ask our visitors to apply to take part in testing new features of our website. As part of the application, visitors will be asked to provide their email address via a submission form.
Not all applications are successful and the email addresses submitted by all unsuccessful applicants will be purged once the recruitment phase is complete.
If you have been selected to participate in one of our tests, we will only email you instructions on how to carry out the test(s), and the agreed reward once the test(s) has been adequately completed.
Your email address will be stored securely until the testing period is over, at which point they will be purged.
We may also ask if you would like to be contacted to participate in future tests. If you give us consent to do so, your email address will be added to our ‘User Testing’ email list.
Every time anyone visits our Site, we collect anonymised information about that visit. Like most big websites, we do this through Google Analytics software to better understand how people use our site. While we do not use Google Analytics to collect any personally identifying information (such as name or address), we do collect the following kinds of information:
We also sometimes use other third-party analytics tools that collect information about how you interact with our Site, such as what you click on and the parts of the page you spend most time on.
We use this information to better understand our customers and their needs in order to improve our service.
This information is anonymized and cannot be tied back to any individual. Nevertheless, we never share it with anyone outside of Ontego Solutions Ltd unless specifically required to by law.
This anonymized analytics information is stored behind secure log-ins that can only be accessed by Ontego Solutions Ltd employees using their official credentials.
Like most websites, top5bestvpnservices.com puts small files (known as ‘cookies’) onto your computer to collect information about how you browse our Site.
You can read our cookie policy for a detailed breakdown of the types of cookies we use and why we use them.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not, and by allowing us to earn commissions.
A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Look at aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance about how to do this.
We may implement third party advertising or other content on the Site that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third party content provider to read and write Cookies to your web browser in connection with your viewing of the third party content on the Site.
Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may allow a third party to collect information about you through their browser Cookies, even when you do not interact with the button.
Information collected through web beacons and buttons is collected directly by third parties, and Top10VPN does not participate in that data transmission. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.
This privacy policy only applies to this website, and doesn’t cover other sites that we link to. If you go to another website, read the privacy policy on that website to find out what it does with your information.
