DMCA Policy Guidelines

GamingVPN does not condone the use of our service to facilitate copyright infringement. We respect and abide by U.S. copyright laws including the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and rely on our users to do the same.

GamingVPN implements a zero-knowledge virtual private network ("VPN") service. Our service is fully automated and we do not log our user's activities. We do not in any way select the recipients our users transmit to or the material our users access while using our service. We do not store, access, or modify any content that our users access while using our service.

As a result, GamingVPN's VPN service qualifies as a provider of transitory digital network communications under 17 U.S.C. § 512(a) of the Copyright Act. As we do not store any content accessed by our users, we are unable to delete any such content that may be infringing. Because we do not log our users' activities in order to protect and respect their privacy, we are unable to identify particular users that may be infringing the lawful copyrights of others.
