What is a zero-log policy and how do you verify it?

May 12, 20267 min

'Zero logs' is in nearly every VPN's marketing, but few claims actually hold up. A genuine zero-log policy means the provider records none of your browsing history, traffic content, connection times, or real IP.

How to verify it

  • Look for an independent third-party audit, not just self-assertion;
  • Check the jurisdiction for mandatory data-retention laws;
  • Look for cases where authorities requested data and the provider had none to hand over — the strongest proof.

clickone enforces a strict zero-log policy, backed by independent audits. We architecturally avoid storing connection logs tied to individuals — no data means nothing to leak.

How to judge quickly

Don't trust a verbal 'we promise not to log.' Check three things: an independent third-party audit, the company's jurisdiction, and whether it has ever had 'no data to hand over' when authorities asked.
