Things to Think About -
Now for the bad news; as we have said multiple times when you use the SurfEasy you are connecting to and using SurfEasy’s servers. This means that all of your traffic is going through their servers. Although SurfEasy does state very clearly that they do not store this information they do have to track the sessions if for nothing else than billing purposes. After all you have a limited amount of bandwidth each month that you can use (2GB with the basic connection). In their terms and conditions it states;
“Use of Personal Information. SurfEasy will collect and use certain personal information about you as detailed in our Privacy Policy a copy of which is located at http://www.SurfEasy.com/legal/privacypolicy. As part of agreeing to these Terms of Use, you are also acknowledging, agreeing to and consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as provided for in our Privacy Policy.”
We had a look at the privacy policy and found that it is much clearer than most out there. SurfEasy states that they will collect personal data for billing purposes (as we mentioned) but that they also state;
“SurfEasy does not store information that links you to websites, IP addresses or downloads while using the SurfEasy service, except in the following cases”
You can see these cases below. As with many companies out there SurfEasy has made concessions to legal demands. If they are served with a warrant or government request they will comply and it looks like they can begin to store information on your activities when using SurfEasy. SurfEasy also makes it very clear that using their network for any hacking activities is grounds for immediate closing of your account and that they will report this activity to the proper authorities.

“Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies SurfEasy may have at law or in equity.”
These are things to keep in mind while you ponder over getting the SurfEasy.
