About PrivadoVPN

PrivadoVPN is a consumer VPN service that launched in 2019, originally structured around Zug, Switzerland. According to its own privacy policy, the data controller moved to Iceland, operating as Privado Networks ehf, effective May 1, 2026. That jurisdictional detail matters more than a marketing tagline: Iceland is not a member of the 5/9/14 Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is generally favorable for privacy, and our database rates the provider's jurisdiction at Tier 1. The provider carries a Scout Score of 76, with a privacy sub-score of 76.

On the documents, PrivadoVPN publishes a no-logs policy and ships a kill switch. Here is the honest caveat: as of July 2026, that no-logs claim has NOT been verified by any published independent audit. In our framework, an unaudited policy is a promise, not proof — the company says it doesn't keep logs, but no third party has publicly confirmed that in a report we can cite. Treat the no-logs status as unverified rather than demonstrated. Server totals are also undisclosed, so we cannot characterize network size.

The pricing detail we can confirm is limited. The verified official plan is a 1-month option at $10.99/mo as an introductory rate, billed $10.99; the renewal price is undisclosed in our data, so plan for the possibility that it changes. A 30-day money-back window is documented, and there is a notably generous 10GB/month free tier — useful for anyone wanting to test the client before committing money.

Who does it fit? Privacy-minded users who value a non-Eyes jurisdiction and want to trial a VPN at no cost first. Who should skip it? Anyone who requires audited proof of a no-logs claim before trusting it, or buyers who need transparent long-term renewal pricing up front.

On performance: we do not run a lab and make no speed or throughput claims here. For how the Scout Score is assembled, see our score methodology.
