We Don't Keep Logs of
What You Browse or Connect To

What you do online is your business alone. LimeVPN does not retain logs of the websites you visit, domains you resolve, or traffic you send through the VPN. Minimal operational data is kept briefly to prevent abuse — not to track you.

🚫 No browsing or destination logs
🔒 No persistent storage of your real IP
🔍 No DNS query logs
⏱️ Minimal operational data for abuse prevention
📊 No per-user bandwidth tracking

What "activity logging" means

Activity logging means retaining records of what you browse, which domains you resolve, what traffic you send through the VPN, or which destinations you connect to online. LimeVPN does not keep those records.

Activity logging is distinct from account data (your email and subscription status), payment records (required for billing), and temporary operational session data (used for device limits and abuse prevention). Those categories exist and are explained clearly below — they cannot be used to identify your browsing behavior.

What We Do Not Retain as Long-Term Logs

This data is not collected, not stored persistently, and not accessible to anyone at LimeVPN.

🌐

Browsing Activity

Websites you visit, URLs, search queries, or any content of your internet sessions.

📍

Your Real IP Address

Your originating IP address is not retained in long-term logs and is not linked to your browsing activity or account.

🔍

DNS Queries

Domain name lookups are resolved through our encrypted DNS servers and are not logged.

📡

Traffic Content & Destinations

The content, payload, or destination IPs of any traffic passing through our servers.

🗂️

Persistent Connection Logs

We do not maintain persistent logs of when you connect or disconnect. Temporary operational session data is discarded within 24 hours of session end.

📈

Per-User Bandwidth

Individual data usage is not tracked per account. We measure aggregate server load only.

🔗

Session Duration

How long you stay connected is not kept as a persistent log tied to your browsing activity.

🗺️

Server Selection History

We do not retain long-term records linking your account to which VPN servers you connect to.

💬

Communication Metadata

Recipients, senders, or timing of your encrypted communications are not logged.

What We Do Retain — Limited Operational Data

This data exists for account, billing, and abuse-prevention purposes. None of it constitutes an activity log.

Temporary session data

≤24 hours after session
  • · Active connection count per account (device limit enforcement)
  • · Abuse-prevention signals — no browsing content or destinations
  • · Discarded within 24 hours of session end

Cannot be used to identify what you browsed.

Account data

Until account deletion
  • · Email address (for account access and communications)
  • · Hashed password
  • · Subscription status and plan type

No browsing history is linked to your account.

Payment records

7 years (tax/legal compliance)
  • · Payment method type — not full card details
  • · Transaction ID from payment processor
  • · Amount and date

Handled by our payment processor (Paddle). We do not store raw card data.

Aggregate server metrics

30 days (no user linkage)
  • · Total concurrent connections per server
  • · Aggregate bandwidth per server
  • · Server health and uptime indicators

Aggregated totals only — no individual account linkage.

How We Protect Your Privacy by Design

Policy principles need technical backing. Here is how the infrastructure reflects them.

No centralized activity logging

We do not operate centralized log aggregation for user browsing activity or VPN traffic. Our servers are configured with activity logging disabled at the VPN daemon level.

Minimal session data handling

We do not generate activity logs. Temporary connection data used for device-limit enforcement and abuse prevention is not written to persistent storage and is discarded within 24 hours of session end.

Shared IP address pools

Multiple users share each server IP simultaneously. Shared IP pools are designed to make attribution significantly harder and reduce linkability between traffic and any individual account. (See Dedicated IP note below for how this differs on Plus.)

Encrypted DNS resolution

All DNS queries are resolved through our own encrypted recursive resolvers. No queries leave our network unencrypted or are visible to your ISP or any third party.

🎯

Dedicated IP and privacy — how they interact

LimeVPN Plus includes a dedicated static IP address — a stable VPN address reserved for your account. This is less anonymity-focused than a shared IP pool by design, because the same IP address is consistently associated with your account rather than being shared with other users at the same time.

What does not change: our no-activity-logs policy applies equally to Dedicated IP users. We still do not log the websites you visit, the DNS queries you make, or the content of your traffic — regardless of which plan you are on. The dedicated IP is reserved to your account for predictable access; it does not create a browsing record.

🔎

Independent audit status

A formal third-party audit of our no-logs controls and server configuration has not been completed yet. We are working toward one. When scheduled, we will publish the auditor, scope, and results in our transparency report. We do not claim an audit we have not done.

What Happens If Authorities Ask?

We cooperate with valid legal requests — but we can only produce data we actually have.

01

Request received

We receive a legal request (subpoena, court order, or law enforcement inquiry). We review it for proper jurisdiction, legal authority, and scope.

02

We check what exists

Account data (email, subscription status) and payment records may exist. VPN activity data — browsing history, IP logs, session activity — does not.

03

We respond honestly

We produce exactly what we have: account-level data only. We cannot produce browsing records, IP logs, or session activity because those records do not exist.

⚖️

Jurisdiction and legal authority

All legal requests are reviewed for valid jurisdiction, legal basis, and proper scope before any response is made. Requests that are overly broad, lack proper authority, or fall outside valid jurisdiction are challenged. Where legally permitted, we notify affected users of requests received. Our transparency report documents all requests received and how they were handled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does LimeVPN log my browsing history?
No. We do not log your browsing history, websites you visit, search queries, or any content of your internet sessions. We do not generate or retain activity logs of that nature.
Do you store my real IP address?
We do not retain your originating IP address in long-term logs, and it is not linked to your browsing activity or account. Transient operational session data — used briefly for device-limit enforcement and abuse prevention — is discarded within 24 hours of session end and does not constitute an activity log.
What happens if you receive a government request for user data?
Because we do not collect or retain user activity data, there is nothing meaningful to hand over. We can only produce data we actually have: account-level information (email, subscription status) and payment records. We cannot provide browsing history, IP logs, or session activity because those records do not exist in our systems. We publish a transparency report documenting all such requests.
Do you log connection timestamps?
We do not maintain persistent connection logs tied to individual users. Temporary operational session data — used for active connection counting and abuse prevention — is discarded after the session ends or within 24 hours, whichever comes first. Server-level aggregate statistics used for capacity planning are not linked to any individual account.
Has your no-logs policy ever been tested in court?
While we have received legal inquiries, we have not been able to produce user-specific activity data in response, because those records do not exist in our systems. We do not generate browsing or activity logs, so there is nothing of that nature to hand over.
Do you use any third-party analytics that could compromise my privacy?
Our VPN infrastructure does not use third-party analytics. Our marketing website uses privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individuals or share data with advertisers.
Is your no-logs policy independently audited?
Not yet. A formal third-party infrastructure audit has not been completed at this time. We are working toward one and will publish the scope, auditor, and results in our transparency report when it is complete. We do not want to claim an audit we have not done.
Can you see which VPN server I connect to?
Server-level connection counts are visible to our operations team for capacity management, but these are aggregated totals with no link to individual accounts or identities. We do not retain long-term records of which specific server any account connects to.
How does a Dedicated IP affect my privacy?
A dedicated IP gives you a stable VPN address reserved for your account, which is less anonymity-focused than a shared IP pool by design. It does not change our no-activity-logs policy: we still do not log the websites you visit, DNS queries, or traffic content. The dedicated IP is reserved to your account while your subscription is active, but your browsing activity through it is subject to the same no-logging policy as any other plan.
