What Is a VPN No-Logs Policy?
A VPN with a strict no-logs policy doesn’t monitor, store, or share any personally identifiable information that may expose your identity or whereabouts.
For example, PIA’s strict no-logs policy guarantees that we’ll never record or store any of the following data:
- Your IP address
- VPN servers you connect to
- Domains and websites you visit
- Apps and online services you access
- Your online search queries
- DNS requests you make
- How much VPN bandwidth you use
- Session timestamps (when you connect to or disconnect from PIA VPN)
Does PIA Keep Logs?
PIA collects as little data as possible – only the bare minimum we need to run our service. The only personal information we keep on file is the email address you use to sign up for our service, your payment details, and your ZIP code (required for US tax purposes). That said, if you choose to pay with crypto, we cover the sales tax for you, meaning you don’t have to reveal your ZIP code or territory.
We also collect a small amount of usage data to monitor our service and help us to improve it. All of this data is thoroughly anonymized, but if you prefer not to provide it, you can opt out at any time via the app settings.
You don’t have to take our word for it, though. Our no-logs commitment is built into our RAM-only server infrastructure, and has been confirmed in court and independently audited by Deloitte.


How Does a VPN’s No-Logs Policy Protect You?
A VPN with a proven no-logs policy protects your digital privacy by not storing any records of your online activity.
Whatever you do online while using a no-logs VPN remains beyond the reach of third parties. That includes government agencies, advertisers, cybercriminals, and even the VPN provider itself.
Put Your Privacy First with a No-Logs VPN

Protect Your Identity
PIA VPN doesn’t store any browsing data, so we can’t connect your activity back to your VPN account or real identity or location.

Avoid Data Breaches
Without a database containing your VPN browsing data, cybercrooks can’t hack into PIA’s network and steal your browsing data.

Reduce Tracking and Profiling
It’s impossible for PIA VPN to build a profile of your activity to sell on to data brokers or advertisers.

Bypass Surveillance
Rest assured that even if the authorities subpoena PIA to disclose your activity data, we won't be able to comply.
Different Types of VPN Logs Explained Simply
Without a no-logs guarantee, a VPN may record several kinds of personal data. VPN logs usually fall into one of two categories:
Connection logs
| IP address | Can be used to help identify and locate you |
| VPN Server location | Can identify which VPN IP addresses you use |
| Session timestamps | Records of the exact time your VPN connection begins and ends |
| VPN bandwidth | The amount of data you send through the VPN tunnel |
Activity logs
| Your online searches | All the phrases you type into a search engine |
| Websites you visit | Every webpage you open, no matter how briefly |
| Files you download | Your regular downloads and P2P activity |
| Streaming activity | The videos you watch and web-based games you play |
| Apps you use | Details about what you do online with your phone |
If you prefer not to take our word for it, you can verify our no-logs stance for yourself. PIA’s apps are all open-source, meaning you can inspect our code any time you like.
