We don't keep logs of your online activity. That means Surfshark VPN doesn't track your online whereabouts or actions in any way. The VPN server only keeps enough data to maintain your VPN connection, and nothing is kept after you're done. To prove our no-logs compliance, we have an assurance report done by Deloitte.

Using a VPN also hides your browsing activity from your internet provider. Many people don't realize, but your ISP can access a wealth of information about you — including your browsing and search history. They can see what you search for, the websites you visit, and the content of any unencrypted data you submit.

There are ways to hide the fact you're using a VPN from your ISP by using obfuscated servers. Many VPNs (like Surfshark) have this feature. This makes your internet traffic seem like any other traffic, thus hiding the fact you're using a VPN from your ISP.

If you've wondered “Can anyone see my search history?”, the answer is yes. The search engine itself, your web browser, your internet service provider (ISP), some advertisers, website owners, app owners, and, in some cases, authorities can see what you search for on Google.
