Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026. This policy describes what data RussiaVPS.site collects, how we use it, and your rights under applicable law.

1. Data We Collect

RussiaVPS.site collects minimal data necessary to operate the website and provide editorial content. We collect: (a) server logs (IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp) for security and abuse prevention, retained for 30 days; (b) contact form submissions (name, email, message) when you contact us, retained for 90 days; (c) newsletter subscription email addresses, retained until you unsubscribe; (d) anonymous analytics data (page views, session duration, traffic source) via Google Analytics, retained for 26 months.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use collected data for: (a) operating the website and serving content; (b) responding to your inquiries and support requests; (c) sending newsletter emails if you subscribe; (d) analyzing traffic patterns to improve content; (e) preventing abuse, fraud, and DDoS attacks; (f) complying with legal obligations under Russian and international law. We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising beyond standard analytics-based content recommendations.

3. Cookies and Tracking

RussiaVPS.site uses minimal cookies: (a) session cookies for the contact form (deleted when you close your browser); (b) Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) for anonymous traffic analysis, retained for 2 years; (c) Cloudflare cookies (__cfduid, __cf_bm) for security and bot protection, retained for 1 year. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party remarketing tags. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting site functionality.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data: (a) Google Analytics for traffic analysis; (b) Cloudflare for DDoS protection and CDN; (c) CoinPayments / BitPay for crypto payment processing (only when you click an affiliate link); (d) affiliate-linked VPS providers (when you click a provider link, their privacy policy applies). We do not share your data with these services beyond what is necessary for the service to function.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

RussiaVPS.site participates in affiliate programs with several VPS providers. When you click an affiliate link and sign up with a provider, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not affect our editorial verdicts or rankings. Affiliate partners do not have access to your data through our site — when you visit their site, their privacy policy applies.

6. Data Security

We protect your data with industry-standard security measures: (a) HTTPS encryption for all traffic; (b) secure SQLite database with restricted file permissions; (c) regular security updates for PHP and server software; (d) firewall rules limiting access to admin interfaces; (e) no storage of payment card data (we do not process payments directly); (f) periodic security reviews. Despite these measures, no internet service is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): (a) right to access your personal data; (b) right to rectification of inaccurate data; (c) right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"); (d) right to restrict processing; (e) right to data portability; (f) right to object to processing; (g) right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@russiavps.site.

8. Your Rights Under Russian Law

If you are a resident of Russia, you have rights under Russian Federal Law 152-FZ "On Personal Data": (a) right to access your personal data; (b) right to rectification; (c) right to deletion; (d) right to withdraw consent. Russian law also requires data operators to store Russian citizens' personal data on servers located in Russia — our server logs and contact form submissions are stored on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, which may not comply with this requirement for Russian citizens. Contact us at privacy@russiavps.site to exercise these rights.

9. Children's Privacy

RussiaVPS.site is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 16, please contact us at privacy@russiavps.site and we will delete it promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States (Google Analytics), Germany (our hosting), and Russia (editorial office). We use Standard Contractual Clauses and other appropriate safeguards for international data transfers as required by applicable law. By using RussiaVPS.site, you consent to these international transfers.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy: (a) server logs — 30 days; (b) contact form submissions — 90 days; (c) newsletter email addresses — until you unsubscribe; (d) analytics data — 26 months; (e) data required for legal compliance — as long as required by applicable law. After the retention period, data is deleted or anonymized.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of RussiaVPS.site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
