Norton renews its commitment to VPN user privacy
Today, privacy is a top priority for people seeking secure online experiences. Norton has long been a leader in consumer Cyber Safety, and with its Norton VPN Privacy Notice, strict no-log policy, and Transparency Report, it's reaffirming its dedication to industry best practices in data handling and transparency.
Minimizing data collection: what it means for you
Like other major VPN providers, Norton follows a privacy-first approach, collecting only the essential data necessary to provide and improve its VPN service. This means:
- No logs of your browsing history, DNS queries, or originating IP addresses
- Minimal data collection, only what’s essential to provide and improve the performance of the VPN service
- Control over your data, with the option to request account and data deletion at any time
These practices align with industry standards, ensuring that even if Norton receives legal requests for user online activity data, there is no information to share. This means our VPN can remain legally compliant without compromising our customers’ privacy.
Key changes to VPN privacy and transparency
The updated Norton VPN Privacy Notice reinforces our dedication to transparency and user trust. Some key updates include:
- A clearer explanation of what data Norton does not collect, reaffirming our strict no-log policy
- More details on how the Privacy Notice aligns with our Global Privacy Statement
- An independent audit by VerSprite to verify privacy practices
- More details on how limited, anonymized data is used to maintain and enhance the VPN
By making these changes, Norton is helping to ensure that users of our VPNs for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS know exactly how their data is handled — offering peace of mind in an increasingly data-driven world.
Introducing the Transparency Report
To further our commitment to openness, Norton is publishing a Transparency Report detailing public authorities’ requests for VPN user data. The latest report update (July – December 2024) revealed:
- 6 government requests for user data
- 0 National Security Letters received
- No user data shared due to our strict no-log VPN policy
This report underscores Norton’s dedication to privacy by proving that details relating to user activity are never stored, let alone shared.
A dedicated path to enhanced privacy and transparency
Our latest Privacy Notice updates, no-log policy, and Transparency Report reflect our ongoing commitment to upholding the very highest standards of user privacy protections.
As concerns over digital privacy continue, Norton's dedication to transparency and a user-first approach to privacy ensures that personal data remains just that — personal.
