Responsible Disclosure Policy

Our Approach to Responsible Disclosure

At vpn1stchoice, we are committed to promoting digital privacy and security for everyone. When we discover data breaches, we follow a responsible disclosure process to maximize positive impact and protect users.

Why We Disclose Data Breaches

Our reasons for reporting data breaches include:

• Advancing our mission to make online privacy and security straightforward and available to all, as we believe it is a universal right.
• Alerting VPN users to breaches involving their personal information, empowering them to make informed choices about whom to trust with their data.
• Raising awareness among consumers regarding the amount of personal data some VPN providers collect and store.
• Educating the public on the importance of safeguarding personal information and understanding its value.
• Holding VPN providers accountable for how they manage and protect user data.
• Encouraging all organizations that handle sensitive data to improve their data protection standards for the benefit of users and society.
• Using our platform to amplify the effects of public disclosure after responsible private notification has occurred.
• Helping to reduce the presence of unsecured data online and prevent its misuse by malicious parties.
• Increasing public understanding of risky VPN products and, in turn, highlighting the safe and thoroughly tested VPN services we recommend.
