We’ll NEVER sell or share data from users (each, a “User”) data with anyone, period.
This privacy policy applies to the Website and all products and services offered by MASQ.
MASQ Network (“protocol”) is a networking protocol that is open source and permissionless, allowing users to participate in the decentralized network routing and encryption services between other users across the world.
MASQ by default does not store information from any users, nor do we keep any logs of visitors to websites hosted by MASQ.
MASQ does not require account sign-ups or any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) to use the software networking protocol (”MASQ Core”, “Node”, “MASQ Browser”, “MASQ Extension”), therefore we are unable to share this information.
MASQ does not collect, log, or share user data that transits through the MASQ Network, ever - it is fully encrypted from the origin (client/user) and therefore is also impossible to access.
IP Address: No - MASQ does not collect the IP addresses of users.
Cookies: No - users can verify no cookies are used on MASQ websites using tools like Cookieserve
