CyberGhost Privacy Report
While the Cyberghost VPN doesn’t collect users’ web activity or IP addresses, its website logs users’ IP addresses and locations plus anonymized data such as browser type, operating system version, etc. Third parties track this data, so even though the VPN itself uses secure encryption methods, the website isn’t ideal for privacy.
