Declaration For VPNService of Android
September 28, 2024
Introduction
This Declaration describes the VpnService of Android, how we use the information you provide when you use our products and services, and your choices about our use of the data. We also describe our measures to protect the information and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.
At cb innovations ("cb innovations", "we", "us", "our"), our commitment to ensuring the privacy and security of our users is paramount. This policy outlines the functionality of our VPNService on Android, the nature of data interaction, and the measures we have in place to uphold this commitment.
This VPN Service Disclosure by cb innovations applies to the information we collect from you or your device when you download one of our apps using the VPNService of Android, e.g., No Root Firewall cb (or cb Firewall Android) and the information we collect when you install our Services on your device.
What is Android's VPNService?
Android's VPNService allows apps to craft their VPN solutions. It acts as a secure bridge for data exchange. This service sets up a virtual network interface and manages data packets' flow, all operating on the Internet Protocol. Further details can be found at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService
How does the Firewall Security app employ VPNService?
Our cb Firewall Android app uses the VPNService to direct internet traffic locally, thus avoiding a remote VPN server. This approach negates the necessity for root access while setting up the firewall, providing users with a transparent understanding of data handling and privacy assurance.
Why does cb innovations’ Firewall Android use Android's VPNService?
cb Firewall Android leverages Android's VPNService to steer traffic to itself, enabling on-device filtering instead of server-side. We depend on Android's VPNService to ensure the following functions operate as intended:
- Ensuring device protection via its anti-malware and firewall attributes.
- Facilitating parental control.
When the Firewall Security app for Android is running, it processes both 'allowed' and 'blocked' traffic locally, ensuring that only the 'allowed' traffic reaches its destination.
What data does our VPN service collect or share?
We categorically do NOT collect or share any personal data, nor do we collect or share the domains accessed by the cb Firewall Android app.
Moreover, we do NOT gather any strictly anonymized URLs or domains visited using your web browser apps!
Who Do We Share Personal Data With?
We assure our users that no collected data is sold, shared, or distributed to third parties.
