ProxyElite Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Proxies operate at the Elite level — the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not forwarded, traffic content is not logged. Own data center since 2012, strict access control, TLS encryption.

Definition of personal information

For us, "personal information" means data that either directly identifies you (for example, your name, email address, or payment information) or can be reasonably combined with other data to identify you (for example, an account ID or IP address).
Any information beyond that is considered "non-personal data". If we store your personal information together with non-personal data, we treat this combination as personal information. Once all personal information is removed from a dataset, the remaining portion is no longer personal information.

Direct identification

Name, email, phone — data that directly points to you

Indirect identification

IP address, account ID, cookies — data that can be linked to you

Anonymous data

Usage statistics, aggregated data — cannot identify you

Data collection and use

How do we learn information about you? We learn information about you when:
1. You directly provide it to us — when registering an account (email), placing an order (payment data via the gateway), or creating a support ticket.
2. We automatically collect it through our products and services — connection metadata (connection time, client IP for whitelist, traffic volume for billing). Traffic content is not logged — we do not store HTTP headers, URLs, cookies, or request content.
3. When we use your IP address — for proxy binding (whitelist), to determine the interface language, and for abuse prevention (exceeding connection limits).
What do we do with the information you provide? When you provide us with personal information, we use it only in the ways you have authorized. Typically, your information is used to provide you with our products and services and to improve them.
When do we share your information with others?
1. When required by law. We comply with the law when we receive a request from authorities or in connection with a court case. We will inform you if we receive a request to disclose your personal information, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.
Upon receiving such requests, we disclose your personal information only if we have a good-faith belief that the law requires us to do so. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or legitimate objections you may have against a third-party request to disclose your information.
2. When we believe it is necessary to prevent harm. We share your information only when we have a good-faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to protect your rights, property, or safety, as well as the rights, property, and safety of our other users or the public.

Data protection and retention

How do we store and protect your personal information? We strive to protect your personal information once we have it. We apply physical, administrative, and technical security measures: data encryption in transit (TLS), strict employee access control, and our own infrastructure in a Tier-III data center with N+1 redundancy.
Proxies operate at the Elite level — the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not forwarded, and the client's real IP is completely hidden from the target website. We do not log traffic content — only connection metadata (time, IP, volume) for billing and abuse prevention.
If, despite our efforts, we become aware of a breach in our security system, we will notify you so you can take appropriate protective measures.
In addition, we do not intend to keep your personal information longer than necessary. Connection metadata — 30 days, then deleted. Account data — until account deletion or 5 years according to accounting requirements. Once your personal information is no longer needed, we will take steps to destroy it, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.

TLS encryption

All transmitted data is protected by modern encryption algorithms

Access control

Strict access control to employee personal data. NDA for B2B

Retention periods

Changes to the policy

What happens if this privacy policy changes? We may need to change this policy. Updates will be published on this page.
If the changes are material, we will announce the update through standard ProxyElite channels, such as blog posts and newsletters. Your continued use of the product or service after the effective date of such changes means you agree to those changes.
We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed of any changes to our privacy policy. The last updated date is always shown at the beginning of the document.

Banking and fintech

Section 2: sharing data with third parties — only as required by law. Section 3: TLS encryption.

SMM and multi-accounting

Section 1: IP address — indirect identification. Section 3: Elite anonymity without X-Forwarded-For.

Legal matters

Section 2: disclosure by law. Section 3: 5-year retention for accounting. Section 4: changes.

Data deletion

Create a ticket — we will delete your personal information, except for data required by law (5 years).

How ProxyElite protects your data

The technical mechanics without simplifications. Four layers of protection: from encryption to access control.

1

Elite anonymity

Proxies do not forward the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header. The target website cannot see your real IP and cannot detect that a proxy is being used.

The level is Elite, not Anonymous. This is a technical architecture, not a marketing promise.

2

No content logging

We do not store: HTTP request content, URLs, cookies, headers. Only metadata: time, client IP, traffic volume.

Metadata — 30 days for billing, then automatically deleted.

3

Encryption and access

All data in transit — via TLS. Server access — only for in-house engineers, no outsourcing. RBAC-based control.

For B2B — NDA signing. Own data center, not rented.

4

Deletion on request

Create a ticket — we will delete your personal information. Metadata is automatically deleted after 30 days.

Data required by law (accounting, 5 years) — we store the minimum necessary amount.

Privacy: ProxyElite vs free vs competitors

A quick comparison: how different types of proxy providers handle your data.

Parameter ProxyElite Free proxies Resellers
Content logging No Yes (owner can) Depends
Anonymity level Elite (100%) Often Transparent Depends
X-Forwarded-For header Not forwarded Often forwarded Depends
Own infrastructure Yes (since 2012) No Rented
NDA for B2B Available No Rare
Deletion on request Yes (ticket) No Depends

Scheme: from purchase to data protection

Four steps. At every stage, your data is protected by the privacy policy.

1

Registration

Email for the account. Payment data — via the gateway, we do not store card numbers.

2

IP binding

Your IP is added to the whitelist. It is used only to authorize proxies — not logged.

3

Using proxies

Traffic through Elite proxies. Content is not logged. Metadata — 30 days, then deleted.

4

Data deletion

On request — we will delete your personal information. Metadata is deleted automatically.

Frequently asked questions about privacy

What data we collect, how we protect it, how to delete it.

ProxyElite collects: email upon registration, IP address for proxy binding (whitelist), payment data via payment gateways (we do not store card numbers), connection metadata (time, traffic volume) for billing. We do not log traffic content — only metadata. NDA signing is available for B2B clients.

No. We do not log traffic content — only connection metadata: connection time, client IP address, volume of data transferred. This is required for billing and abuse prevention. The content of HTTP requests, cookies, target website URLs — is not stored.

Only in two cases: when required by law (request from authorities or court case) and when necessary to prevent harm to you or others. We inform you about such requests unless prohibited by law. Payment data is processed through certified payment gateways.

Connection metadata — 30 days for abuse prevention, then deleted. Account data (email, payment history) — until account deletion or 5 years according to accounting requirements. After the retention period expires, data is destroyed.

We apply physical, administrative, and technical security measures: data encryption in transit (TLS), strict employee access control, own infrastructure in a Tier-III data center with N+1 redundancy. Proxies operate at the Elite level — the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not forwarded.

Yes. Create a support ticket requesting data deletion. We will delete your personal information, except for what the law requires us to keep (accounting documents — 5 years). Connection metadata is automatically deleted after 30 days.

Yes, for proper operation of the website and personal account. Cookies are used for authentication, saving language preferences, and theme settings. We do not share cookie data with third parties. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but website functionality will be limited.
