Privacy Policy
How SakuraCat collects, uses and protects your personal data.
Information we collect
When you create an account we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not collect your real name, phone number, home address or any government-issued identification.
The free tier tracks monthly data usage for quota management only. This counter is not linked to any browsing history or connection logs.
We operate a strict no-log policy: we never record which websites you visit, which apps you use, how long you are connected, your connection timestamps or your originating IP address.
How we use your data
- Account authentication and service delivery
- Sending account-related notifications (password resets, renewal reminders, important service updates)
- Anonymous aggregate traffic statistics with no personally identifiable information
- Service quality improvement and node performance optimisation
- Detecting and preventing account fraud or abuse
Data protection
All traffic is encrypted with AES-256. Stored account credentials are protected with bcrypt hashing – even a database breach cannot expose your original password.
We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with any third party. We only disclose information when legally required by a valid court order, and only to the minimum extent the law requires.
Our servers are hosted in data centres that meet strict security standards and are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems and regular independent audits.
Your rights
- Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction: ask us to fix inaccurate information
- Deletion: request that your account and associated data be permanently deleted
- Portability: export your account data in a standard format
Cookies
We use essential cookies for session management and anonymous analytics cookies for aggregate visitor counting. You can decline non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.
