Last updated: March 2, 2026

ETCMCv2 is software that allows individuals or organizations to run their own VPN infrastructure. The ETCMCv2 development team does not operate VPN servers on behalf of users and does not route or inspect user traffic.
- We do not collect browsing history
- We do not log VPN traffic
- We do not inspect or store transmitted content
- We do not track individual users
- We do not require accounts to use the ETCMCv2 VPN client
Server operators are responsible for choosing where and how their infrastructure is hosted.
2) Information We Do Not Collect
The ETCMCv2 software does not collect or store:
- Websites you visit
- Content of communications
- DNS queries
- VPN traffic logs
- IP addresses of end users connecting to servers
- Account credentials for cloud providers
- Payment or billing information
If you host your server using a third-party infrastructure provider, any information you provide to that provider is governed solely by that provider’s privacy policy.
3) Information Collected Automatically
ETCMCv2 collects only minimal technical information necessary for maintaining software stability and security.
Server IP during update checks
When a server checks for software updates, the server IP address may be visible to the software distribution infrastructure. This may reveal:
- The hosting provider
- The approximate geographic region of the server
This information cannot identify individual users or devices connected to the server.
Crash and diagnostic reports
If the application encounters an error or crash, limited diagnostic information may be generated to help identify and resolve technical issues.
- Application version
- Operating system name and version
- Date and time of the error
- Recent application events
- Device or system architecture
This diagnostic data never includes VPN traffic or communication content.
4) Optional Anonymous Metrics
Server administrators may optionally enable anonymous usage metrics to help improve the ETCMCv2 software.
- Total bytes transferred
- Connection duration statistics
- Feature usage statistics
- Country-level traffic origin
These metrics are anonymous and aggregated. They are not linked to user identities, email addresses, or device identifiers.
5) Feedback Submissions
Users may voluntarily submit feedback through ETCMCv2 tools or community channels.
When submitting feedback, you may optionally provide an email address if you wish to receive a response. Providing personal information is never required.
6) Data Security
We apply industry-standard security practices when handling the limited technical information associated with ETCMCv2.
- Encrypted transmission (HTTPS)
- Restricted access controls
- Minimal data retention
- Principle of least privilege
We do not sell, rent, or monetize user data.
7) Data Retention
Any collected technical data is retained only for as long as necessary to:
- Maintain software functionality
- Diagnose and resolve technical issues
- Generate aggregated, non-identifying statistics
Data that is no longer needed is periodically deleted.
8) Changes to This Policy
If material changes are made to this Data Collection Policy, the “Last updated” date will be modified and the updated version will be published.
