Developer: One Good Dev
Welcome to .ovpn Hub (the "App"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, how it may be shared, and the choices you have. This policy is intended to satisfy Google Play disclosure requirements and to help you understand our practices.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Who we are and scope
The App is developed and published by "one dev." This Privacy Policy applies to the .ovpn Hub mobile application and any in‑app features that link to this policy.
2. Age restrictions
The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
3. Key assurances about VPN connections
- The App does not provide or establish a VPN connection and does not route your internet traffic.
- We do not record, store, or log your VPN browsing activity (the websites you visit, the content you view, or the data you transmit).
- Your device's IP address may be used transiently for diagnostics; we do not retain it beyond what is technically necessary to perform those requests.
4. How the App works (configuration hub)
.ovpn Hub does not operate VPN servers and does not connect you to VPNs. The App aggregates .ovpn configuration files from public sources and lets you download, share, and transfer those files to OpenVPN‑compatible applications.
- The App works with multiple sources of .ovpn files because it is a hub for configurations.
- Example source: VPN Gate (University of Tsukuba) — https://www.vpngate.net
- Important: Public sources and third‑party VPN servers may have their own logging or privacy practices which we do not control. Review the source's privacy information (e.g., VPN Gate Privacy).
- When you use an .ovpn file in another VPN application, your traffic will be routed by that third‑party app/server, not by .ovpn Hub.
5. Information we collect
The App is designed without account registration and without collecting VPN traffic data. Depending on your use, we may process the following categories of information:
5.1 Information you provide voluntarily
- Support communications: If you contact us (e.g., by email), we will process the information you provide such as your email address and the content of your request to diagnose and resolve issues.
5.2 Information collected automatically by the App
- Device information: Device model, OS version, language/locale, app version. Used to ensure compatibility, troubleshoot issues, and improve stability.
- IP address (transient): Used by networking components to download configuration lists or perform diagnostics. We do not retain your original IP beyond the period required to perform the request.
- Network diagnostics data: The App can perform pings to VPN server endpoints to estimate latency. These measurements assess network quality; they do not analyze your content or transmit your data to the developer.
- In‑app interaction data (non‑personal): Aggregate information about feature usage may be inferred to improve UX, without creating a profile about you.
- Local notifications: The App may send local notifications to inform you when a VPN health check is complete. Notifications can be disabled at any time in your device settings.
- Purchase history and subscription status: If you purchase a Premium subscription, the App sends your purchase receipt and subscription status to RevenueCat (see Section 6) for validation and entitlement management. This constitutes Financial Info — Purchase history under Google Play's Data Safety framework. We do not have access to your payment card details; those are handled exclusively by Google Play.
5.3 Local storage on your device
We use on‑device storage via Hive CE to cache data such as server lists, favorite servers, ping/speed results, downloaded .ovpn files, and UI preferences. This data remains on your device unless you uninstall the App or clear the App's data. We do not upload this cache to our own servers.
6. Third‑party services and SDKs
- VPN Gate – Purpose: Fetch public VPN server configurations for download and sharing. Privacy: vpngate.net/en/about_privacy.aspx
- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) – Potential data collected by Google: advertising identifiers (AAID/IDFA), IP address, device and app information, approximate location inferred from IP, ad interaction/engagement data, and crash/diagnostic signals. User controls: Reset or limit ad personalization in device settings. For EEA/UK users, a consent form via Google's UMP is shown where required by law. Learn more: Google Partner Sites Policy
- In‑App Review (Google Play / Apple App Store) – Purpose: Native review prompt after sufficient use. The dialog is rendered by the platform, not the App. We do not receive or store your rating or review text.
- RevenueCat – Purpose: Manage Premium subscription purchases, validate receipts, and track entitlement status across reinstalls. Data collected: an anonymous App User ID (generated by the SDK and cached on device), purchase history (product IDs, transaction IDs, subscription status), and device information for analytics. Data is encrypted in transit and processed for App functionality and Analytics. RevenueCat does not collect payment card details. Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
- Google Play Billing – Purpose: Process subscription payments. Payment card information is handled entirely by Google Play; the App never receives or stores it. Privacy: policies.google.com/privacy
- Ipify – Purpose: Display your current public IPv4 address inside the App. Site: ipify.org
- OpenVPN‑compatible VPN applications (third‑party) – Purpose: Open or transfer .ovpn files to third‑party VPN apps. Those apps and servers operate under their own policies.
- Networking and storage libraries (code dependencies):
dio,retrofit,hive_ce,icmp_ping,ipify,logger,in_app_review,share_plus,open_file,file_saver,package_info_plus,device_type. These libraries do not, by themselves, transmit your data to the developer.
Note: Third‑party volunteer VPN servers are outside our control and may maintain their own logs for abuse prevention or legal compliance. Review the server's country laws and privacy notes before use.
7. Advertising and consent (AdMob)
When advertising is enabled, the App integrates Google Mobile Ads (AdMob):
- Request user consent where required (e.g., EEA/UK) using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP).
- Respect your device‑level ad preferences (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
- Serve non‑personalized ads if you decline consent for personalized advertising in regulated regions.
- Display rewarded ads (full‑screen video/interactive ads) at certain points in the app flow. Watching a rewarded ad is optional.
Data associated with AdMob ad requests is handled by Google under its policies. See: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
8. How we use information
- Provide the App's core features (download, share, and transfer .ovpn files; retrieve server lists).
- Validate VPN servers and measure network quality (ping/speed) to help you assess configurations.
- Manage Premium subscriptions: verify purchase receipts, grant or revoke entitlements, and restore purchases.
- Diagnose problems and improve reliability.
- Display advertising, subject to consent where required.
We do not create behavioral profiles based on your VPN traffic because the App does not handle VPN traffic.
9. Data retention
- Network request data: We do not retain your original IP address beyond what is necessary to perform diagnostics.
- Local app data (Hive CE cache): Stored on your device until you clear the app data or uninstall the App.
- Purchase and subscription data: Retained by RevenueCat as long as necessary to provide subscription management services and as required by applicable law. You may request deletion of your RevenueCat customer data by contacting us (see Section 15); we will forward the request to RevenueCat.
10. International data routing
When you use an .ovpn file in a third‑party VPN application, your traffic may be routed through servers in other countries with different data protection laws. Please select servers with care and review the source's guidance.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use caution when transmitting data over public networks.
12. Your rights and choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, objection or restriction of processing, portability, and withdrawal of consent. You can also:
- Reset or limit your device's advertising identifier in system settings.
- Clear the App's local data or uninstall the App to remove locally stored cache.
13. Third‑party links
The App may contain links to third‑party sites or services (e.g., VPN Gate information). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before use.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
