I visit only a handful of sites & don’t download often from Internet. Do I still need your service?

Of course you do. Most are not even aware of the traces they leave behind every time they use the Internet. These traces can often be used to uncover confidential information about your work and private life. Hackers and cyber criminals use this collected data to commit ID fraud and to steal your credit card information.

It is these traces that search engines and web portal providers collect and systematically analyze for marketing purposes. The Internet you access is most likely monitored and logged even if your ISP doesn’t tell you. Every country has its own data retention policy. In the USA, ISPs by law are required to log every IP you receive and every site you visit. This data is stored for an undisclosed period by law. Do you really want big brother to keep an eye on you and track every website you visit? Track the purchase you made on Amazon? Get VPN4ALL today and connect with confidence!
