Does TunnelBear Keep Logs?

No. TunnelBear operates under a strict no-logging policy. TunnelBear does not keep any logs of your browsing activity, DNS queries, connection timestamps, or IP addresses. When you connect to TunnelBear, your online activity is not recorded, monitored, or stored in any way that could identify you or what you were doing online.

The only data TunnelBear retains is a single aggregate figure: the total amount of bandwidth used per account during each billing period. This count is used solely to enforce the free tier's monthly data limit (500 MB) and to calculate billing for paid plans. It tells TunnelBear nothing about what websites you visited or what data you transferred — it is simply a byte count, similar to a mobile carrier counting how many megabytes you used this month.

TunnelBear's no-logging claims are not just words on a page. They are verified every year by Cure53, an independent cybersecurity firm, whose audit specifically examines whether the infrastructure could even produce activity logs. The findings consistently confirm that TunnelBear's architecture is designed so that detailed logs cannot be collected. You can read all published audit reports on TunnelBear's website.
