How OnlineProxy handles service logs, proxy sessions, analytics, advertising cookies, and user controls.

OnlineProxy Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Summary

OnlineProxy provides a browser-based proxy tool and related educational content. We try to collect as little information as practical for operating the service, preventing abuse, understanding aggregate usage, and meeting legal obligations.

This policy applies to pages on onlineproxy.org, including the homepage, documentation, blog, and legal pages. When you use the proxy to visit a third-party website, that destination website may have its own privacy practices. OnlineProxy acts as a technical intermediary for that browsing session.

Information We Process

Information you provide

You can use OnlineProxy without creating an account. We only receive information you choose to send, such as:

  • Messages sent to our support email
  • Abuse reports or security reports
  • Feedback about site reliability or content

Technical service data

To keep the service reliable and reduce abuse, our systems may process limited technical data:

  • Request time, browser type, and operating system
  • Temporary IP address and network metadata needed to route traffic
  • Error information for debugging failed proxy sessions
  • Rate-limit and security signals used to protect the service

We do not use these logs to build personal browsing profiles. Technical logs are kept only as long as needed for security, abuse prevention, debugging, or legal compliance.

Proxy Sessions

When you enter a destination URL, OnlineProxy needs to route that request through its proxy infrastructure. That means the service may temporarily handle the destination host, requested resource, headers, and response data required to complete the session.

We do not publish, sell, or intentionally share the browsing content of your proxy sessions. Avoid entering passwords, payment details, medical information, or other sensitive personal data through any web proxy, including OnlineProxy.

Analytics and Advertising

OnlineProxy may use analytics tools to understand aggregate site usage and improve reliability. OnlineProxy may also use advertising products on eligible first-party pages such as the homepage, blog posts, and documentation pages.

Analytics and advertising providers may process cookies, IP addresses, device information, or other identifiers according to their own policies. We do not intend to place ads on proxied third-party pages, private communication screens, or pages that do not contain OnlineProxy publisher content.

Cookies

OnlineProxy may use cookies or similar storage for:

  • Proxy session continuity
  • Security and abuse prevention
  • Basic site preferences
  • Analytics measurement
  • Advertising measurement or personalization where permitted

Browser settings, consent tools, and regional privacy controls may let you limit or delete cookies.

How We Use Information

We use information for:

  • Operating and debugging the proxy service
  • Preventing abuse, fraud, and security incidents
  • Responding to support, privacy, security, and legal requests
  • Measuring aggregate usage trends
  • Improving content quality and service reliability

Third-Party Websites

When you visit a third-party website through OnlineProxy, that website may still collect information through its own scripts, cookies, account systems, browser fingerprinting, or embedded services. Review the destination site's privacy policy before using it.

Data Retention

We retain technical data only as long as reasonably needed for operations, security, debugging, legal compliance, or abuse prevention. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the reason it was collected.

User Choices

You can:

  • Avoid entering sensitive information through the proxy
  • Clear cookies and site data in your browser
  • Use browser privacy controls or consent tools where available
  • Contact us about privacy requests at support@onlineproxy.org

Children

OnlineProxy is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. The "Last updated" date shows when this page was last revised.

Controls for Analytics on Proxied Pages

When you browse pages through the proxy, we may count sanitized page views so we can understand how the proxy is used. We do not send query strings, fragments, access tokens, or the page's original title to Google Analytics.

This preference is stored in this browser and applies to new proxy sessions you start from OnlineProxy.
