# Security & Privacy Scorecard

## Mysterium VPN: Fast & Secure

**com.mysteriumvpn.android** | Version 2.4.1 | Android | March 24, 2026

## What This Means for You

The connection is protected with strong technical safeguards, but the app collects data about user activity and shares it with outside parties. Users have limited control over this data collection. For users who rely on a VPN to keep their activity private from their provider, the app's own data practices work against that goal.

## Recommendation: Use With Caution

**Best For:** Bypassing geo-restrictions on a budget
**Avoid If:** users wanting full privacy from their VPN provider

## Key Findings

**Data Security** - 4 findings (4 info)

**Network Security** - 2 findings (1 low, 1 info)

**Code Safety** - 0 findings

**Privacy** - 2 findings (2 medium)

## Privacy Concerns

### What Data is Collected

The app collects data about connection activity and usage patterns. Users have limited options to control or reduce this collection, which contributes to a low overall Privacy score of 35 out of 100.

### Third-Party Data Sharing

No third-party advertising or analytics services were identified in the app. Data sharing with the developer's own systems is a concern, however. The Data Sharing score of 30 out of 100 reflects limited transparency around how user data is used beyond providing the core service.

## Areas for Improvement
