TunnelBear takes trust seriously. Unlike many VPN providers that make unverifiable claims, TunnelBear publishes annual independent security audits conducted by Cure53, a leading cybersecurity firm. Every audit report is made publicly available so anyone can review the findings. This commitment to transparency sets TunnelBear apart in an industry where opacity is common.
TunnelBear also releases a Transparency Report every year detailing the number of government requests received and how the company responded. To date, TunnelBear has never provided user data to any government or third party because there is no browsing data to hand over. The strict no-logging policy means that even if compelled by law, TunnelBear could not produce records of your online activity.
TunnelBear is owned by Gen Digital (formerly McAfee), a publicly traded cybersecurity company. This ownership means TunnelBear operates under a higher level of corporate accountability than anonymous VPN providers. The combination of annual Cure53 audits, public transparency reports, and institutional oversight gives users a solid foundation for trust.
