VAPOR Usage Policy
What We Collect (and Why)
When you use parts of VAPOR — such as public chat, direct messages (DMs), or interactive features like virtual machines (VMs) — we may temporarily log your IP address or similar connection data.
This helps us maintain platform stability, prevent abuse, and enforce moderation when needed. These logs are used internally, are short-lived, and are never sold or shared for advertising or analytics.
We do not collect browser fingerprints, device identifiers, analytics data, or tracking cookies (except those used by third-party ads).
Third-Party Ads via Adsterra
We use Adsterra to serve ads. These third-party ads may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, and interactions like ad views or clicks.
This data is handled by Adsterra and its partners, not by VAPOR. For more information, see Adsterra’s Privacy Policy. You may be able to opt out of personalized ads depending on your region and browser.
Virtual Machines and Proxy Servers
Our VM feature is powered by Hyperbeam Inc., a third-party provider. We do not control the content, filtering, or restrictions within the virtual machine. Use is subject to Hyperbeam’s own policies.
We also offer access to proxy servers, some of which may be externally hosted and not operated by VAPOR. These servers may log network traffic, IP addresses, or visited URLs.
For greater privacy, you can go to:
Settings > Proxy > Set Server
and configure a custom proxy server that you trust.
Copyright / DMCA Notices
We respect the rights of content owners. If you believe that content hosted or linked on VAPOR — especially within the Games or Emulators sections — infringes your copyright (such as ROM files or game data), please send us a DMCA notice:
Many of the ROMs available on VAPOR are older, classic games that may no longer be sold or officially distributed. We believe these games have historic and cultural value and do not distribute them with commercial intent.
However, we take copyright seriously and will respond to all valid DMCA notices in compliance with applicable law.
To submit a takedown request, please include:
- A description of the copyrighted work
- A statement of good faith belief that the use is unauthorized
- Your name, contact information, and a signature (typed is acceptable)
- A statement that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act
We will review your request and take appropriate action, including removing or disabling access to the content.
Any joke or prank DMCA emails will be blocked immediately.
General Privacy Notes
We do not sell or share user data. IP addresses are treated as basic connection information and are used only when necessary to operate and protect our services.
The only time we will share information is when required by law, such as court orders or valid legal requests.
Updates to This Policy
This Usage Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
