You can trust TunnelBear for a few reasons. The first is that we make 100% of our revenue from paid subscriptions. We do give a little bit of data away for free, but our hope is that you'll fall in love and give your Bear a forever home! Often, free VPN services will collect your personal/usage data and sell it to third parties in order to make money. TunnelBear will NEVER do this. TunnelBear has a fierce no-logging policy. At no point, and under no circumstances will TunnelBear log or sell your personal/usage data.
In addition to our no-logging commitment, we also have a great privacy policy. Unlike many other VPN's, our privacy policy outlines how we run a trustworthy, free and paid VPN service by collecting the minimum amount of information possible necessary to provide you with a reliable service on our secure private network. We don’t require your name, we offer anonymous payment services, we don't collect your IP address and we avoid collecting other personal information via our analytics tools, all of which allow you to have more control over your personal information.
Finally, all of our applications are third party independently code audited each year to ensure they are consistently in line with the highest standards of security. We’re actually so confident we’re doing everything we can to protect you that we have published our latest results here.
