Editions and Monetization
SpellVPN Pro is a paid-download edition with no ads and no in-app purchases. SpellVPN Ultra is a free-download edition that can show ads. Ultra auto-renewing subscriptions are processed through the App Store, remove ads, and unlock Ultra features.
Data Stored on Your Device
SpellVPN stores VPN configurations, saved subscription URLs, proxy links, nodes, policy groups, routing rules, DNS settings, route mode, virtual adapter settings, traffic counters, and local logs that you import or create. This data is used to start VPN sessions, switch nodes, show connection status, import or export configurations, and diagnose connection issues.
iCloud Drive Backups
If you choose to use iCloud Drive backup or restore, full app data backups are saved into your own iCloud Drive SpellVPN/Backups folder. Backups do not include the installed iOS VPN permission profile or logs unless you separately export them. We do not have access to your iCloud Drive content.
Camera and Photos
SpellVPN requests camera access only to scan QR codes for importing VPN configurations or subscription links. When you import a QR code from Photos, the app processes the image you select in order to detect QR content.
Network Connections
SpellVPN does not sell proxy nodes or operate a developer-hosted VPN traffic network. Your imported configuration may contain subscription URLs, DNS servers, proxy servers, or other network endpoints. During a connection, the app and Packet Tunnel extension access those endpoints according to the configuration you provide.
Advertising in SpellVPN Ultra
SpellVPN Ultra integrates Yandex Mobile Ads and Google AdMob. The free edition may show banner, native or in-feed, interstitial, and app-open ads. These third-party advertising SDKs may process data to load, show, measure, limit, personalize, and protect ads.
Advertising Data That May Be Processed
Advertising SDKs may process IP address and approximate location inferred from IP address; device and app information such as device model, operating system version, language, screen size, app version, and network connection; advertising identifiers such as Apple's Identifier for Advertisers where permitted; app- or developer-scoped device identifiers; ad request and response data; ads shown, impressions, clicks, close events, video views, and other ad interactions; app launch and product interaction events related to ad delivery; performance information such as launch time, hang rate, energy usage, and ad load timing; and diagnostic information such as SDK errors, crash logs, and other technical logs.
Advertising Purposes
This data may be used for ad delivery, contextual or personalized ads where permitted, frequency capping, ad measurement, attribution, reporting, fraud prevention, security, debugging, SDK performance improvement, compliance, and ad revenue reporting. Advertising partners may process this data under their own privacy policies, including Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and Yandex Privacy Policy at https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/.
Subscriptions and Purchases
Ultra subscriptions are handled by Apple's App Store and StoreKit. SpellVPN may receive product identifiers, transaction status, purchase, renewal, expiration, cancellation, refund, restoration, and entitlement status needed to unlock paid features. We do not receive your payment card number, billing address, or Apple ID password.
Choices and Consent
SpellVPN Ultra requests App Tracking Transparency permission before advertising SDK initialization in the ad-supported build. Where required by law or platform rules, SpellVPN Ultra may also ask for consent before requesting personalized ads or accessing Apple's advertising identifier. You can limit ad tracking through iOS privacy settings. If you decline tracking or personalized ads, the free edition may still show non-personalized or contextual ads, and advertising SDKs may still process limited data needed for ad delivery, security, fraud prevention, measurement, and compliance.
Pro Edition
SpellVPN Pro is a paid-download edition. It does not show ads and does not initialize Yandex Mobile Ads or Google AdMob for ad serving.
Logs
The app may generate local connection logs, validation messages, diagnostic logs, and tunnel snapshots to help troubleshoot issues. Logs stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. Clearing local data removes local configs, nodes, subscriptions, rules, DNS settings, traffic stats, logs, tunnel snapshots, and the installed system VPN configuration; iCloud Drive backup files remain unless you delete them.
Children's Privacy
SpellVPN is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If a future version changes advertising partners, adds new advertising SDKs, changes advertising data types, changes subscription or purchase features, or adds accounts, developer-operated cloud sync, analytics, crash reporting, or other data collection, this policy and the App Store privacy labels will be updated.
