GhostSurf Privacy Policy
 

Sharing of Information

GhostSurf does not share any of your personal information (including the sites you visit) with other programs or any sites on the Internet. GhostSurf does not broadcast any information about your surfing habits, your preferences or any other data available to GhostSurf back to Tenebril or to any other site. GhostSurf's settings, which include your most recently-viewed sites, are compressed and encrypted for your protection. There is only one copy of GhostSurf's settings made, which resides in a file in GhostSurf's folder. These settings are inaccessible to other logins on the same computer.

Internet Transfers

GhostSurf will connect to the Internet for one of three reasons:
  • To download and speed test anonymous hubs
  • To download the pages you request from the websites you visit
  • To download a "most recent version" file from the Tenebril website
Each of these processes is uni-directional: GhostSurf gets information from the Internet, but it does not send any information to the Internet.

GhostSurf will not perform any of these actions without being asked. By default, GhostSurf downloads and tests anonymous hubs every day. You can disable this by deleting the default task in the Scheduler. GhostSurf will not connect to websites unless you surf the web using your web browser (or some other program on your computer wishes to use the Internet). GhostSurf will not check to see if there's a newer version of itself unless you click on the "Check for new version" button in the "Program Info" window.
