TuxlerVPN Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2025

Introduction

We have prepared this Privacy Notice to explain how, why, and when we collect data from you on our website and services. We comply with U.S. and global privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Please note that this Privacy Notice only applies to data that we collect when you visit the Tuxler website at https://tuxlervpn.com or use our services.

About Tuxler’s Services

Tuxler provides targeted advertising services for our advertiser clients (“Advertisers”). When you visit a website operated by an Advertiser or a third-party site where we could serve an ad to you, we may collect some or all of the data described in this Privacy Notice. Our platform uses that data as well as other data described below to help Advertisers provide ads that are more relevant to you.

For example, if you visit an Advertiser’s website and shop for running shoes, our Platform may later serve you with targeted ads for the Advertiser’s brand of running shoes as you browse the internet.

Connection Sharing and Network Usage

When you use the free version of TuxlerVPN’s services, your device’s internet connection and IP address may be used to route network traffic for other participants in the TuxlerVPN network. This means that while TuxlerVPN is installed under the free service, data from other users may pass through your network connection, whether or not you are connected to a VPN location.

Access to the TuxlerVPN network is provided by Tuxler and may also be made available to, licensed to, or resold to third parties, including business and commercial customers, who may route their traffic through your connection and IP address in the same way.

This applies only to the free version. If you prefer not to participate in network sharing, you can opt out by purchasing a Premium subscription, whose devices are never used to route traffic for others, or by uninstalling the app.

Data Sharing

We may disclose personally identifying information (PII) about you:

  • With our service providers: Companies we contract with that help with parts of our business operations. We require that our service providers only use your PII in connection with the services they perform for us.
  • With your service providers: Companies under contract with or acting on your behalf who handle data (such as customer lists) on your behalf.
  • With our subsidiaries and related companies.
  • In connection with legal proceedings: When we are under a legal obligation to do so, for example, to comply with a binding order of a court, or where disclosure is necessary to exercise, establish, or defend the legal rights of Tuxler, our Advertisers, or any other third party.
  • In connection with a sale of our business: If a third party acquires some or all of our business or assets, we may disclose your PII in connection with the sale.
  • We also share technical data that we collect about your browsing habits and your device (such as data relating to our cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies) with other advertising companies in the digital advertising ecosystem.
  • California Residents: We do not sell personal data, but users can opt out of data sharing here.

The Tuxler website uses cookies, tracking pixels, and related technologies. Cookies are small data files that are served by our platform and stored on your device. Our site uses cookies dropped by us or third parties for a variety of purposes, including operating and personalizing the website. Cookies may also track how you use the site to target ads to you on other websites.
