Meow - Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

Overview

Meow ("the App") is an open-source VPN client for Android. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This policy explains what data the App handles and how.

Data Collection

Meow does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Specifically:

• No account or registration is required.
• No analytics, tracking, or telemetry is included.
• No advertising SDKs are embedded.
• No crash reports are sent to us.
• No browsing history, DNS queries, or network traffic content is logged or recorded by the App.

Network Traffic

The App routes your device's network traffic through proxy servers that you configure via subscription URLs or manual configuration. The App itself does not operate any proxy servers and has no access to your traffic once it leaves your device.

Local Data

The App stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Proxy subscription URLs and configuration profiles you add.
• Session traffic statistics (upload/download bytes) for display purposes.

This data is stored in the app's private storage and is removed when you uninstall the App.

Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party services that collect user data. DNS queries are resolved via DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) through your configured proxy to protect your privacy.

VPN Permission

The App requests Android's VPN permission to create a local VPN tunnel on your device. This is required to route traffic through your configured proxy servers. No traffic is sent to us.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
