- Does Pangea keep any logs of what I do?
- No. No browsing history, no DNS queries, no connection or disconnection times, no bandwidth records, no record of which server you used. The complete list of what we do store is on this page: an email address for email accounts, payment dates, one row per device, and contact messages.
- Do you log my IP address?
- No. While you are connected the server has to know where to send your packets back, exactly as any network does, but that lives in memory and is gone when the tunnel closes. Our web servers have access logging switched off, and the IP behind a request is used to rate-limit it and then dropped.
- What would you hand over if the police asked?
- Only what we hold: the email address on the account if it has one, subscription dates, and the public keys of registered devices. There are no traffic logs to give, because none are written. Where we are not legally barred from telling you, we will.
- Can I use Pangea without giving you an email address?
- Yes. Create an account number, top it up with Monero, and sign in with the number. That account has no email, no card and no name attached to it at any point.
- Has the no-logs claim been audited?
- Not by an independent auditor. We are small and self-funded and have not paid for one, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. What we can offer instead: the desktop client is open source, the servers are never sent your identity, and we publish a signed warrant canary every month.
- Does being a UK company undermine the whole thing?
- It is a fair question. There is no blanket rule forcing a UK VPN to retain traffic logs, but under the Investigatory Powers Act we can be served an order for what we hold and forbidden to talk about it. That is the reason we hold so little, keep identity off the servers entirely, and publish a canary.
