ETCMCv2 VPN privacy principles

This policy explains what ETCMCv2 VPN does and does not collect when users access the ETCMC website, verify VPN licenses, and use ETCMCv2 VPN services.

Core privacy principles

  • We minimize data collection.
  • We do not log VPN traffic.
  • We do not monitor browsing activity.
  • We do not collect personal identities unless required for support.

Data We Do Not Collect

ETCMC is designed to avoid collecting sensitive browsing and identity data that is not required to operate the ETCMCv2 VPN ecosystem.

  • Browsing history
  • DNS queries
  • VPN traffic content
  • Personal identity data beyond what a user voluntarily provides for support

Limited Operational Data

To maintain service availability and verify participation in the ETCMCv2 VPN network, ETCMC may collect limited operational information such as server health metrics, network statistics, aggregated usage metrics, and blockchain wallet addresses used for license verification.

This information is used for system performance, license checks, reward calculations, abuse prevention, and overall reliability of the ETCMC backend.

Blockchain Transparency

License verification relies on blockchain wallet addresses and NFT ownership. Blockchain transactions and wallet activity on public networks are public by design and may be visible to anyone using block explorers or similar tools. ETCMC cannot make public blockchain data private.

Cookies and Website Functionality

The ETCMC website uses cookies only when needed for core website functionality, session continuity, and basic user experience features. We do not use website cookies to profile VPN browsing activity.

Lawful Usage Responsibility

Users remain responsible for lawful usage of the ETCMCv2 VPN network. Privacy-focused design does not remove the obligation to comply with applicable local laws, regulations, and service restrictions.

Data Protection

We limit internal access to operational data, keep data handling proportional to service needs, and avoid retaining data categories that are unnecessary for ETCMCv2 VPN operations.

Security Measures

ETCMC applies reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect website systems, license verification workflows, backend services, and operator infrastructure. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy as ETCMCv2 VPN evolves. Material updates will be reflected on this page. Continued use of the ETCMC website or ETCMCv2 VPN services after an update means the revised policy applies going forward.
