Privacy policy
This website, VPN Smarts (vpnsmarts.com), is an independent deals site. It is not run by NordVPN or Nord Security. This page explains what data is collected when you visit.
What we collect
We do not ask for your name, email or any other personal details. There are no forms or accounts on this site.
Advertising measurement (Meta Pixel)
We use the Meta Pixel, a tool from Meta Platforms, to measure how our Facebook and Instagram ads perform. It records that you viewed this page and whether you clicked a deal button. Meta may set cookies and receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page URL. Meta processes this data under its own privacy policy.
If you visit from the UK or the EU, the pixel only sends data after you click Accept in the cookie notice. You can also control ad tracking in your Meta ad preferences, or block cookies in your browser.
Site analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4, a service from Google, to count visits and see which pages and deal buttons are used. It sets cookies and receives technical information such as your IP address (which Google does not store in GA4), device, browser, approximate location and the pages you view. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.
If you visit from the UK or the EU, Google Analytics does not set cookies until you click Accept in the cookie notice. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Click tracking and affiliate links
Deal buttons go through a click-tracking service (BeMob) and then to NordVPN’s website through an affiliate link. These services may record the click, your IP address, device and browser, and set cookies, so that a purchase can be credited to us. We see only aggregated reports and never see your payment details. When you reach nordvpn.com, NordVPN’s own privacy policy applies.
Hosting
Our web host may keep standard server logs (IP address, time, page requested) for security and troubleshooting.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example under UK GDPR or Canadian and Australian privacy law), you may have the right to ask about, correct or delete data about you. Because we don’t collect personal details directly, most requests are best sent to Meta or NordVPN. You can still contact us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL].
