how's it going everybody welcome back and today we're going to be taking a look at
nordvpn's privacy policy so before we begin if you guys are interested in nordvpn you'll find links
to special deals and discounts in the description down below as well as a full-on review that'll
give you more of an in-depth look into the privacy policy speed streaming torrenting capabilities
as well as security features so be sure to keep that in mind if you guys are interested
now the privacy policy of nordvpn is quite a bit transparent about their data collection they never
track the ip addresses that you use the websites you visit and files you download or the time
or duration of your online sessions and they have a strict no locks policy and there's really
no evidence to suggest otherwise however it is important to note that north stated that one of
their data centers in finland which they were renting their servers from was accessed with no
authorization the attacker gained access to the server which had been active for about a month
by exploiting an insecure remote management system left by the data center provider nordvpn said that
the breach was an attack on the server and not nor the vpn's service nor did terminate their contract
with the server provider that same day though nord did state that the server itself did not contain
any user activity logs and that none of their applications sent user created credentials for
authentication so usernames and passwords could not have been compromised or intercepted now
nord also stated that they treat vpn servers as untrusted in the rest of their infrastructure
and it is not possible to get access to other vpn servers user databases or other servers from
a compromised vpn server so there's no need to worry about this issue right here according to
node and of course this did happen in finland so what nordvpn did is that following its promise
to become faster stronger and more secure north vpn is proud to announce yet another upgrade to
its infrastructure and development of collocated servers nor vpn is adding a private server network
wholly owned and controlled by the company itself the custom specific
servers are expected to provide more vpn's users with an even higher level of security
and privacy and by the way they are uh based in finland and they're starting out this initiative
in finland and not just that the server caucasian is just one of the many steps in nordvpn's product
development progress only last week av test an independent provider of comparative tests
officially recognized norvpn as the fastest vpn connection on the market furthermore the
company has just has just finished upgrading its entire infrastructure to ram servers so that's
very important now all nordvpn's regular servers are ram based which means that no information is
stored locally and of course i've reached out to support to confirm that the standard servers have
been upgraded to disk list to become diskless ram servers and what these servers do if you didn't
know is that they allow nord to create a centrally controlled network where nothing is stored locally
and that they don't even have an operating system stored locally everything they need
to run is provided by nordvpn's secure central infrastructure so that if you see is one of these
servers you're seizing an empty piece of hardware with no data or configuration files on it and that
whatever data is actually stored on these ram disk servers they will be deleted with every machine
reboot that's how diskless ram servers work now nord did get a lot of flack for that incident but
to be fair nothing of that sort happened again and considering there was nothing logged on the
breached server it meant that they truly don't like any identifiable information on these servers
and while nord may be based in panama which is outside the 14 ice jurisdiction the country itself
has some data retention laws and are not hesitant to provide information to foreign governments but
luckily for nord they don't have any servers based in panama and nord had its no locks privacy policy
edited right after the breach and another time in 2020 both audits successfully verified
nordvpn's no log policy and confirmed their privacy claims though i do look forward to
another audit in 2021 which i do hope they uh announce very soon now if you're interested in
taking a look at the privacy policy yourself word for word you can go ahead and check the
description down below i'll go ahead and link it if you guys would like to read it yourself besides
that you know overall i would say that nordvpn has one of the more solid privacy policies out there
perhaps not as solid as expressvpn but definitely one of the top privacy policies you can find out
there very transparent quite a few a couple of independent audits to kind of prove their claims
and uh yeah that's that that's really uh good enough for most people to kind of get a little
bit of evidence that uh they do uphold their uh no locks policy and honor their
users privacy so uh considering their history i think nordvpn is quite a bit solid perhaps i
would give them you know not less than an a uh a minus a worst because of the incident right here
but they did kind of make up for it so you know i would say they can reach up to an a so i would
say between an a minus and an a would be good enough for nordvpn's privacy policy which is
really good so that would be it for this video again if you guys are interested in
nordvpn you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below
as well as a full-on review if you'd like to know the ins and outs of the vpn besides that
thank you guys very much for watching i'll see you guys in the next one have a wonderful day
