At Mozilla, we design products with your privacy in mind. Firefox Private Network (FPN) protects your device’s web connections. Mozilla partners with Cloudflare to privately and securely encrypt your web traffic within Firefox. This privacy notice explains what data FPN collects, shares, and why.
Information we collect
Firefox Account Information. This service requires a Firefox Account, which sends FPN your email address, locale, and IP address. Learn more about Firefox Account data practices.
Location information. Firefox FPN receives your IP address from your Firefox Account when you sign up for and use the service. We use the IP address in order to approximate your location because FPN is currently only available in the United States.
Turn on Mozilla VPN when you connect to the Internet to protect your app’s Internet connection, browsing activity and your Android device’s entire network connection. To turn Mozilla VPN on: Open the Mozilla VPN app. Tap the Turn on to protect your privacy toggle to protect your entire device. Mozilla VPN runs on a global network of servers powered by Mullvad. Using the most advanced WireGuard® protocol, we encrypt your network activity and hide your IP address. We never log, track, or share your network data. A VPN from a brand you can trust.
Technical data. Mozilla receives basic information from FPN about your mobile and desktop app version and device, including device operating system and hardware configuration. When FPN sends data to us, your IP address is temporarily collected as part of our server logs.
Interaction data. Mozilla receives data about your interactions with FPN, such as when you enable and disable the proxy and the amount of bandwidth you use when the proxy is enabled.
Read the technical and interaction data collection documentation here. We use the data we collect to improve performance and stability for our users, and to measure FPN’s performance.
We are now spending more time online than ever. At Mozilla, we are working hard to build products to help you take control of your privacy and stay safe online. To help us better understand your needs and challenges, we reached out to you — our users and supporters of Firefox Private Network.
We learned from you and our peers that many of you want to feel safer online without jumping through hoops and decided to start with the goal of providing device-level protection. This is why we built the Mozilla VPN, to help you control how your data is shared within your network. Although there are a lot of VPNs out there, we felt like you deserved a VPN with the Mozilla name behind it.
To build the best VPN, we turned to you again. After all, who knows you better than you, right? We started recruiting Beta testers in 2019. It was amazing to see the recruitment attract potential testers from over 200 countries around the world.
We started working with a small group of you and learned a lot. With the VPN in your hands, we confirmed some of our initial hypotheses and identified important priorities for the future. For example, over 70% of early Beta-testers say that the VPN helps them feel empowered, safe and independent while online. In addition, 83% of early Beta-testers found the VPN easy to use.

We know that we are on the right path to building a VPN that makes your online experience safer and easier to manage. We’ll keep making the right decisions for you guided by our Data Privacy Principles. This means that we are actively forgoing additional profit-making opportunities by never tracking your browsing activities and avoiding any third party in-app data analytics platforms.
Your feedback also helped us identify ways to make the VPN more impactful and privacy-centric, which includes building features like split tunneling and making it available on Mac clients. The VPN will exit Beta phase in the next few weeks, move out of the Firefox Private Network brand, and become a stand-alone product, Mozilla VPN, to serve a larger audience.
To our Beta-testers, we would like to thank you for working with us. Your feedback and support made it possible for us to launch Mozilla VPN.
We are working hard to make the official product, the Mozilla VPN, available in selected regions this year. We will continue to offer the Mozilla VPN at the current pricing model for a limited time, which allows you to protect up to five devices on Windows, Android, and iOS at $4.99/month.
