At Proxyoku (accessible from proxyoku.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains the types of information that is collected and recorded by Proxyoku and how we utilize it.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they share and/or collect in Proxyoku. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
1. Information We Collect
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our web proxy service
- Improve, personalize, and expand our website and global servers
- Understand and analyze how you use our web service
- Develop new products, services, features, and network functionality
- Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the service
- Find and prevent fraud or network abuse
3. Log Files and Proxy Sessions
Proxyoku follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as a part of hosting services' analytics and abuse prevention. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is strictly for analyzing network trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information to optimize server load.
Proxy Session Data: Data transmitted through active proxy sessions, such as destination URLs, search queries, or data entered into third-party sites, is processed temporarily so the browser-based proxy session can function. Proxyoku is designed around temporary sessions rather than permanent browsing-history profiles. We may keep limited operational records for security, abuse prevention, analytics, troubleshooting, and service reliability, but those records are not intended to create a personal browsing-history profile.
4. Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, Proxyoku uses 'cookies'. These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences (such as Light or Dark mode), and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
5. Third-Party Advertising and Cookies
To keep our core web proxy service free, we partner with third-party ad servers and networks.
Third-party vendors use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Proxyoku, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
Third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
The use of advertising cookies enables these vendors and their partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit. Note that Proxyoku has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
Opting Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting their browser cookie settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
6. Third-Party Privacy Policies
Proxyoku's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers, nor does it apply to the destination websites you choose to visit through our proxy tool. When you use Proxyoku to navigate to a third-party website, you are bound by that specific website's privacy practices.
Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers and destination websites for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. To know more detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers, it can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

- Request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.
- Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
- Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

9. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Proxyoku does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
