This Privacy Policy explains what information JustFreeProxies collects when you visit our free open proxy list website, how we use cookies, and your choices. By using the Service, you acknowledge this Policy together with our .
1. Who we are
JustFreeProxies operates a website that lists free, publicly available open proxies for informational and testing purposes. We are not the operator of the third-party proxy servers shown in the lists.
2. Information we collect
A. Information you provide
- Contact form fields (name, email, message) if you submit them. Until a mail/API backend is connected, messages may stay in your browser only.
- Abuse or partnership emails you send us by other channels.
B. Information collected automatically
- Server logs: IP address, date/time, requested URL, user-agent, referrer, and response status - typical web server logs used for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
- Usage within the app: list filters, pagination, and theme preference stored locally in your browser (see Cookies & local storage).
- Proxy check metadata we publish: IP:port, protocol type, anonymity level estimates, country labels (from public IP databases when available), Google-pass / alive status, and last-check timestamps. These describe third-party open proxies, not private accounts of visitors.
We do not require an account to view free lists. We do not intentionally collect government IDs, payment cards, or precise GPS location.
3. Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies
Like most free websites, JustFreeProxies uses a small set of cookies / browser storage items:
- Essential / functional: remember UI theme (
justfreeproxies-theme), cookie consent choice (justfreeproxies-cookie-consent), and similar settings needed for the site to work as you expect. - Preference: optional choices such as accepted analytics (if enabled later).
- Security / rate-limiting: server-side or edge measures may use short-lived tokens or IP-based counters to reduce abuse (these may not always be browser cookies).
We currently do not sell personal data and do not load third-party advertising networks by default. If we later add analytics (for example anonymized visit counts) or embeds, we will update this Policy and, where required, ask for consent via the cookie banner.
Cookie banner: On first visit you can Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. Essential storage for theme and consent itself may still be used so the site remembers your choice.
You can clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Blocking all storage may reset theme and consent prompts.
4. How we use information
- Operate and improve the free proxy list UI and checker.
- Keep the Service secure (detect scraping abuse, attacks, spam).
- Respond to contact or abuse reports.
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms.
- Publish aggregated, non-personal statistics (for example "alive proxy count").
5. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on: legitimate interests (running a free public list, security logging), consent (non-essential cookies if introduced), and contract/steps at request (answering your contact messages).
6. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Hosting / VPS / CDN providers that process logs to deliver the site.
- Public IP/country lookup or judge services used only for proxy checking (these receive connections via listed proxies or our servers during tests - not your browsing content through our UI).
- Authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
7. Retention
- Server access logs: typically kept for a limited period (for example 7-90 days) unless needed longer for security investigations.
- Contact messages: kept as long as needed to handle your request.
- Published proxy list entries: rotated as checks fail; historical checker state may be overwritten regularly.
- Browser local storage: until you clear it or change settings.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical measures for a free hobby/public service, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Free open proxies listed on the site are especially unsafe for sensitive traffic - that risk is outside our control.
9. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 16 (or the digital-consent age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child provided data, contact us to request deletion.
10. International transfers
Our servers or subprocessors may be located in countries other than yours. By using the Service you understand that logs and messages may be processed in those locations with safeguards appropriate to a free public website.
11. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold about you, and to object or withdraw cookie consent. To exercise rights, use . You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
12. Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
Our simple free site may not respond to every DNT/GPC signal beyond respecting cookie-banner choices you set here. We will improve support if we add advertising or cross-site trackers.
13. Third-party free proxies and your privacy
Important: When you connect your device to a free open proxy from our list, that proxy operator (not JustFreeProxies) can see your traffic metadata and often content. Their logging practices are unknown. Use free proxies only for non-sensitive testing. JustFreeProxies is not responsible for privacy practices of third-party proxy operators.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy by posting a new version with a revised "Last updated" date. Material cookie changes will be reflected in the cookie banner when required.
