Privacy Policy for Equus

Effective date: 21.05.2026

Equus (“the App”) is an Android VPN/proxy client developed by RED RIVER SOFTWARE DOO. This Privacy Policy explains what data the App accesses, how it is used, and how users can control or delete it.

Summary

Equus does not require an account, does not show ads, does not include analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and does not operate a developer server that receives user data from the App.

The App stores configuration and usage data locally on the user’s device. Data is accessed only to provide VPN, proxy, QR import, per-app routing, diagnostics, and settings features.

Data the App accesses or stores locally

Equus may access or store the following data on the device:

• VPN and network traffic: when the user starts the VPN, Android routes selected device traffic through the user-configured proxy server.
• Server configuration: server name, address, port, password, TLS/SNI/certificate settings, ECH settings, WebSocket settings, Shadowsocks settings, forward proxy settings, routing rules, and custom DNS settings.
• Installed app list: app names, package names, and icons are read to let the user choose which apps are routed through the VPN. Selected package names are stored locally.
• Camera frames: the camera is used only when the user opens the QR scanner to import a server configuration. Camera frames are processed for QR code recognition and are not stored by Equus.
• Traffic statistics: uploaded/downloaded byte counts, session duration, timestamp, and related server record are stored locally for the statistics screen.
• Diagnostic logs: local VPN/proxy logs may be displayed in the App to help diagnose connection issues. Logs are not sent to the developer.
• App settings: theme, IPv6 setting, boot-start preference, debug-log preference, and custom DNS settings.

How data is used

Equus uses this data only to:

• create and run the VPN tunnel requested by the user;
• connect to proxy servers configured by the user;
• resolve server hostnames using configured DNS servers;
• support per-app routing;
• import or export server configurations when initiated by the user;
• display local connection statistics and diagnostic information;
• restore user preferences.

Data sharing

Equus does not sell user data and does not share user data with advertisers, analytics providers, or the developer.

When the VPN is active, network traffic is necessarily transmitted to the proxy server configured by the user, DNS queries may be sent to the configured DNS resolver, and traffic may reach websites or services chosen by the user. These third parties are not operated by Equus and may have their own privacy practices.

If the user exports a configuration, copies it to the clipboard, scans a QR code, or shares logs manually, that transfer is initiated by the user.

Third-party components

Equus uses third-party libraries and platform components to provide app functionality, including Android VPN APIs, CameraX, Google ML Kit Barcode Scanning for QR code recognition, Room database, and the bundled trojan-go/tun2socks runtime.

Equus does not use third-party advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs.

Security

Equus stores its data in the app-private storage area protected by Android’s application sandbox. Sensitive app data is excluded from Android cloud backup and device transfer where supported. VPN/proxy connections use the encryption configured by the user, including TLS-based trojan-go connections.

Users should protect their device and avoid sharing exported configurations because server configurations may contain passwords or private keys.

Retention and deletion

Data remains on the device until the user deletes it in the App, clears the App’s storage, or uninstalls the App. Uninstalling Equus or clearing app data removes locally stored server configurations, settings, selected package names, traffic statistics, and related local files.

Equus does not create user accounts and does not store user data on developer-controlled servers, so there is no server-side account data to delete.

Children

Equus is not designed for children under 13 and is not intended to be used as a child-directed app.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the same public Privacy Policy page with a revised effective date.
