AdGuard VPN app on Google Play

But let's dive deeper into this. Developers are required to provide information about how (or if) they collect, share, and protect users' data via their apps by completing a form in the Play Console.

This information is then displayed on Google Play, under the app's ‘Data Safety’ section, informing users about the developer's privacy practices before they install the app.

In our case, it's all clear and simple:

  • No data shared with third-parties
  • The app may collect personal and app info to understand how users engage with the app and to check their subscription status. You can find detailed information on what is collected and for what exact purposes in our privacy notice
  • Data is encrypted in transit – which means your data is protected, even if communications are intercepted while being transmitted between the website, the cloud provider, or between two services
  • You can request that data be deleted

You can read more about it and see an example of how this information is presented when a developer collects specific data here.

What is this ‘independent security review’ about?

An app can earn this label after undergoing a Mobile App Security Assessment (MASA) by the App Defense Alliance (ADA).

ADA is a partnership between Google and cybersecurity companies aimed at improving app security on the Google Play Store. It helps detect and prevent malware by scanning apps, ensuring a safer experience for users.

We have obtained Level 2 certification. The process here is as follows: A security lab conducts a human analysis using specialized tools to identify security vulnerabilities. The lab then requests clarification from the developer regarding the app's functionality. If the app meets the security requirements, the lab issues a validation report to Google confirming its compliance.
