Does LivingAbroad.tv protect my privacy?

Yes. LivingAbroad.tv is designed with a strong privacy-first approach. Our Smart DNS technology does not monitor your browsing activity or route your full internet traffic through our servers. Only the minimal DNS information required to make regional streaming work is processed, and no personal data is collected beyond what is necessary for service functionality.

What we do to protect your privacy

  • Minimal data processing: We handle only the DNS queries needed to determine correct regional routing for supported streaming services.

  • No traffic logging: We do not log your browsing history, streaming activity, or any content you access.

  • Secure infrastructure: Our systems follow industry-standard security practices to prevent unauthorized access and misuse.

  • GDPR compliance: LivingAbroad.tv adheres fully to EU GDPR requirements, ensuring transparency, data minimisation, and user control over personal information.

What we do not do

  • We do not inspect or route your video streams.

  • We do not store, sell or share your personal information with advertisers or external parties.

  • We do not track your general online behaviour.

Why Smart DNS is privacy-friendly

Unlike VPNs, Smart DNS does not reroute or encrypt your entire internet connection. This means:

  • Your browsing stays between you and the websites you visit.

  • Your ISP and streaming services see your normal IP address.

  • Only domain lookup information relevant to streaming region detection passes through our system.

In summary: LivingAbroad.tv protects your privacy by processing only the minimum DNS data required, keeping no logs of your activity, and operating fully within GDPR guidelines.
