At FreeVPSTrial.net, we prioritize the protection of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our website and cloud hosting services.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Identification Information
To provision your VPS and prevent abuse, we collect the following:
- Contact Info: Name, email address, and phone number (for SMS verification).
- Account Credentials: Encrypted passwords for your control panel access.
- IP Address: Logged at registration and login for security auditing.
1.2 Service Data
We do not monitor the content inside your VPS instance unless compelled by a valid legal court order. However, we monitor network traffic metadata (NetFlow) to detect DDoS attacks and ensure network stability.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used strictly for the following purposes:
- Provisioning: To automatically set up your server and send you access credentials.
- Communication: To send service notices (e.g., maintenance windows) or critical security alerts.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We share data only with:
- SMS Gateways: To deliver verification codes (e.g., Twilio, Vonage).
- Legal Authorities: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order involving criminal activity.
4. Data Retention
For Free Trial accounts, if you do not upgrade to a paid plan, your personal data is retained for 12 months after account termination to prevent trial abuse. After this period, it is anonymized or deleted.

We implement industry-standard security measures, including:
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest.
- SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit.
- Strict access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only.
