02 · Core service

How Exir VPN uses Android VPNService

Android’s VpnService is essential to Exir VPN’s core purpose. When you connect, the app creates a system-managed VPN interface and sends selected device traffic through the VPN route you choose or the app selects.

What the VPN protects

The VPN tunnel encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN endpoint. After traffic leaves that endpoint, protection depends on the destination service and protocols such as HTTPS. A VPN does not guarantee complete anonymity, uninterrupted availability or a fixed connection speed.

The on-device VPN engine may inspect protocol and destination metadata locally to apply DNS, routing, per-app, fragmentation or connection rules selected in the app. Based on the current app design, locally selected application package names are stored on the device and are not uploaded as a list of installed apps.

Exir VPN does not redirect or manipulate traffic from other apps for advertising monetization, and it does not use the content of your VPN traffic to select personalized advertisements. VPN traffic must be processed in transit by the selected endpoint in order to provide the connection. Limited infrastructure metadata may also be processed to maintain reliability, investigate abuse and protect the service.

03 · Data

04 · Purpose

Why we process data and our legal bases

We use data only for defined purposes connected to operating, securing and improving Exir VPN, supporting users, complying with law and funding the free service through advertising.

Provide the service

Connection configuration, route selection, VPN delivery and support are necessary to provide features you request.

Reliability and security

Diagnostics and limited operational signals support our legitimate interests in detecting failures, abuse and threats.

Consent-based uses

Where required, consent is the basis for personalized advertising and other optional processing covered by a consent prompt.

Legal obligations

We may preserve or disclose limited information where a valid law, court order or regulatory duty requires it.

For users in the EEA, United Kingdom and similar jurisdictions, the applicable basis can be performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent or compliance with legal obligations. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests; we will assess the request against any compelling or legally required reasons to continue.

05 · Advertising

Advertising, consent and your choices

Exir VPN is supported by advertising and uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Google and its advertising partners may process advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location, device information, consent signals and ad interactions to deliver, limit, secure and measure ads.

Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Where required, Exir VPN uses Google’s User Messaging Platform to present consent choices. When available, you can review or change these choices from Settings → Privacy choices in the app. You can also manage advertising settings at Google My Ad Center and reset or delete the advertising ID through Android settings.

Privacy choices do not remove every ad

Choosing non-personalized advertising may still involve limited data for contextual ads, frequency limits, reporting, fraud prevention and security. Availability of choices varies by law, app version and Google’s requirements.

We do not sell VPN traffic content for money. Under some US state laws, personalized advertising may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising.” Where applicable, the in-app privacy controls are provided to opt out.

06 · Recipients

Service providers and data recipients

We disclose data only as needed for the purposes described above, under contractual, technical or legal safeguards where applicable.

G

Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform

Advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and regional consent choices.

How Google uses partner data
F

Analytics, app-installation services, crash reporting, performance information and cloud messaging.

Firebase privacy information
I

Infrastructure providers

Hosting, network delivery, monitoring and security providers process limited data on our instructions to operate the app, APIs and VPN endpoints.

L

Legal and safety recipients

Authorities, courts, professional advisers or counterparties may receive limited data when lawfully required or necessary to protect rights and safety.

Libraries that perform functions locally in the app are not automatically data recipients. The presence of a software library does not by itself mean that it receives personal data.

07 · Lifecycle

Retention and deletion

We keep data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose described, then delete, aggregate or de-identify it unless a longer period is required for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or law.

VPN traffic

Traffic content is processed in transit to provide the VPN and is not part of Exir VPN’s app-analytics events. Limited infrastructure metadata may be kept only while needed for reliability, abuse prevention and security.

Pending diagnostics

Unsent analytics events stored locally are queued for a short period, currently no more than five hours, before delivery or expiry.

Service diagnostics

Connection, route, ad-delivery and security events are retained for operational analysis and then deleted or aggregated when detailed records are no longer required.

Support requests

Tickets and replies are retained while support is active and for a reasonable period afterward to handle follow-up, security, abuse and legal needs.

Google services

Retention for data processed through Google services depends on our product configuration, Google’s product rules, your settings and Google’s applicable policies.

Legal exceptions

Specific records may be retained longer when needed to comply with law, establish legal claims, investigate fraud or protect users and the service.

Exir VPN does not require an account for its core VPN service, so there is no user account to close. To request deletion of identifiable support or diagnostic information, email contact@exirvpn.com. Please provide only the minimum details needed to locate the request. We may need to verify that you are entitled to the data and may be unable to locate records that are no longer identifiable.

08 · Control

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability; withdraw consent; and complain to a data-protection authority. Exercising a right does not affect processing that was lawful before the request.

01Access or correct

Ask what identifiable data we hold and correct inaccurate information.

02Delete or restrict

Request deletion or limited processing, subject to lawful exceptions.

03Object or withdraw

Object to legitimate-interest processing or withdraw consent where used.

04Complain

Contact us first or complain to the competent supervisory authority.

For privacy requests, contact us using the address below. We generally respond within the period required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

09 · Global service

International data transfers

Exir VPN operates internationally. Data may be processed in countries other than the one where you live, including where our infrastructure and service providers operate. Where required, we use recognized safeguards such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections and access controls.

10 · Protection

How we protect information

We use measures designed to reduce unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure and loss. These include HTTPS for first-party APIs, encryption between the device and VPN endpoint, access controls, restricted production access, encrypted Android storage for selected local secrets and monitoring for abuse.

No system, transmission method or VPN can be guaranteed completely secure. Please keep Android and Exir VPN updated, protect access to your device and avoid sending sensitive information in free-text support messages unless necessary.

11 · Age

Children’s privacy

Exir VPN is a general-audience utility and is not designed or marketed as a child-directed service. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13 or a higher minimum age required by local law. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12 · Updates

Changes to this policy

We may update this notice when the app, providers, legal requirements or data practices change. The “Last updated” date and policy version at the top show when substantive text was revised. Where required, we will provide an additional notice or request consent before a materially different use begins.

We recommend reviewing this page after major app updates. Continued use alone is not treated as consent where the law requires a separate affirmative choice.
