No-Logs Policy
Last Verified:
Independent Verification: Our no-logs policy has been verified by independent security researchers. We welcome third-party audits to ensure transparency and accountability.
At ShieldQuick VPN, "no logs" isn't just a marketing claim—it's the foundation of our service. We've designed our entire infrastructure around the principle of collecting zero user activity logs. This policy details exactly what we don't collect and how our technology ensures your privacy.
What We Mean by "No Logs"
When we say we keep no logs, we mean we do not store:
- Any browsing history or websites visited
- Connection timestamps beyond what's temporarily needed for active sessions
- IP addresses of users (we use a shared IP model)
- Bandwidth usage per user
- Session durations
- Any personally identifiable information
Technical Implementation of Our No-Logs Policy
1. Memory-Only Operation
Our VPN servers run in "memory-only" mode. This means:
- All operational data exists only in RAM
- Nothing is written to physical storage drives
- When a server reboots (which happens regularly), all data is permanently erased
2. No User Activity Tracking
Unlike many "no-logs" providers that still track connection information, ShieldQuick VPN:
- Does not record which servers you connect to
- Does not track when you connect or disconnect
- Does not monitor your bandwidth usage
- Does not associate your activity with any identifier
3. Shared IP Address System
Multiple users share the same public IP address, making it technically impossible to trace activity back to an individual user even if logs were somehow created (which they aren't).
4. DNS Leak Protection
All DNS requests are handled through our secure, private DNS servers with no logging. This prevents your ISP or third parties from seeing which domains you're accessing.
What Minimal Data We Do Process (Temporarily)
For the service to function, some minimal technical information is processed temporarily in memory:
Connection Handshake Data
When you first connect, a brief handshake occurs to establish the secure tunnel. This
- Exists only during the connection process
- Is never written to disk
- Is purged from memory within 2 minutes of connection
Server Load Information
To balance load across our network, servers temporarily track:
- Current number of active connections (not which users)
- Real-time bandwidth usage (aggregate, not per user)
- Server health metrics
This information is stored only in RAM and reset when servers reboot.
Independent Verification
Our no-logs claims aren't just promises—they're technically enforced:
1. No Storage Devices for Logs
Our production servers do not have writable storage configured for logging purposes. Without the technical capability to store logs, we cannot collect them even if compelled.
2. Third-Party Audits
We have undergone multiple independent security audits specifically focused on our logging practices. These audits confirmed our infrastructure has no mechanisms for persistent logging.
3. Warrant Canary
We maintain a warrant canary on our website. If we ever received a secret legal demand that prevented us from being transparent about data requests, the canary would change, alerting users to potential issues.
Legal Jurisdiction
ShieldQuick VPN operates under a legal structure designed to maximize user privacy:
- Our infrastructure is distributed across multiple jurisdictions
- No single government has jurisdiction over our entire operation
- We are not based in any "Five Eyes," "Nine Eyes," or "Fourteen Eyes" alliance country
- Our legal structure has no obligation to retain user data
What Happens If Law Enforcement Requests Data?
Because we maintain a true no-logs infrastructure, we cannot provide user activity data even if legally compelled. The only information we could potentially provide (if required by a valid legal order) would be:
- Confirmation that a particular email address created an account (if an account was created)
- Payment information (handled by our payment processor, not us)
However, since ShieldQuick VPN does not require accounts for basic service, even this limited information often doesn't exist.
Transparency Reports
We publish annual transparency reports detailing:
- Number of legal requests received
- Type of requests (if disclosure is permitted)
- How we responded to each request
- Any attempts to compel data we don't possess
How to Verify Our No-Logs Claims
We encourage healthy skepticism. Here's how you can verify our claims:
1. Technical Verification
Run network monitoring tools while connected to ShieldQuick. You'll see no persistent connections to logging servers, and our servers show no evidence of log storage.
2. Independent Reviews
Multiple reputable technology publications have tested and verified our no-logs claims through technical analysis.
3. Bug Bounty Program
We run a bug bounty program where security researchers are paid to find any evidence of logging. To date, no researcher has found evidence of logs.
Our Commitment
ShieldQuick VPN's business model is built on trust. We don't sell your data because we don't have it to sell. We believe true privacy means:
- No logs = nothing to hand over
- No tracking = nothing to monetize
- No accounts = no identity to link
This isn't just our policy—it's how our technology fundamentally works.
