how's it going guys welcome back and today we're going to be talking about the privacy policy of
surf shark just so that you guys can get a rough idea of what the policy entails so before we begin
if you guys are interested of course in learning more about surf shark in terms of the privacy
policy speed streaming torrenting capabilities as well security and features you'll find a link
which will have an in-depth full review uh as well as links to special deals and discounts if
you guys are interested in getting yourself a subscription so feel free to take advantage of
those discounts now you know basically surf shark explain in their privacy policy page how
some information may include which pages visitors visit and how long visitors may
stay on a particular page now i wouldn't exactly call this a strict no locks policy
while none of this information may be traceable back to the user or identifiable
the lack of transparency doesn't really help their case compared to nord and expressvpn
surfshark's privacy policy may be lacking behind in terms of the amount of information they collect
but having said that they've never been breached and no user information has ever been leaked and
they're located in the british virgin islands so being outside the jurisdiction of the 5
9 and 14 eyes alliance could be seen as a positive thing but do keep in mind that
the british virgin islands is still part of uk territory and uk territory is of course
part of the alliance now they're not obliged to answer to any government asking for information
unless it is the uk uh so that that could be a thing there and unlike panama the british virgin
islands usually do uphold their data retention laws but of course there will be exceptions when
it comes to high profile cases where information needs to be disclosed specifically when it comes
to criminal investigations now surf shark had the audit firm cure 53 investigate the chrome
and firefox extensions of surf shark in november 2018 and essentially concluded that surf shark
are not exposed to any major issue neither in the privacy uh nor in the more general security realms
so that's very good to hear but having said that we haven't seen another audit since then
and considering it's in you know we're in 2021 at this point we haven't seen one since 2018 you know
i'd love to see one that actually examines the entire application on windows and mac android and
iphone rather than just examining the uh let's say here the uh the extension here the chrome
extension the chrome and firefox extension which i mean sure it'll give us an idea of how
secure the vpn is but i would like the entire application to uh be examined that
would definitely be much better so if you guys are interested in taking a look at the privacy policy
yourselves you'll find a link in the description below if you'd like to go over it but overall
if i had to rate the privacy policy you know i would give it a rough b you know perhaps a b plus
because they do have a clean slate and they've never been breached and they're fairly secure you
know surf shark is a pretty large it's a huge vpn at this point it's one of the three giants really
expressvpn nordvpn usually surf shark will also be in the top three list alongside these two so
yeah definitely uh quite a good vpn very secure uh you know you've got your shadow sox protocol um
the uh advanced of course wireguard protocol as well as no borders mode to help you bypass the
great firewall china and in terms of encryption they're very secure uh so you know considering how
uh how they have a really clean slate and again a great history when it comes to upholding
their uh privacy policy you know as far as we're concerned they may collect a little
bit more information than expressvpn and nordvpn but it doesn't seem like um they're using that
information in any let's say sensorius uh ways so uh it seems like they get a
pass on uh that kind of data collection perhaps they truly are just using it for diagnostics
uh so until we uh i mean if there's any kind of incident that happens with surf shark i'll
definitely be sure to report on that and and make sure to warn you guys uh but so far i think surf
shark uh gets a solid b on or perhaps b plus uh thanks to their clean history on their privacy
policy so again if you guys are interested in subject you'll find things especially as
in discounts in the description down below as well as a full review if you'd like to know the ins and
outs you know the advantages and disadvantages of surf shark so be sure to check that out if
