- Encryption & Secure Connections: We use SSL/TLS encryption to ensure that all sensitive information, including communication and payment data, is securely transmitted over the Internet.
- Payment Information Security: DuskVPN does not store credit card numbers. Stripe, a trusted third-party processor, handles all payment details and ensures PCI DSS compliance for payment processing.
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work continuously to maintain and improve our data protection measures.

Our VPN servers and systems are designed to ensure the highest level of protection:
- No Logs Policy: We maintain a strict no-logs policy, meaning we do not store or track your browsing history or online activities while using our VPN.
