Avast SecureLine VPN is a consumer VPN service under the Avast brand. It encrypts a device's internet traffic through a VPN connection and is intended for individuals who want to protect their connection on public or untrusted networks or hide their IP address. The service is offered as an app for end-user devices; the app store lists Avast Software s.r.o. as the developer.
The service is offered by Avast Software s.r.o., based in Prague, Czech Republic. Avast is a brand of Gen Digital Inc., a listed company (NASDAQ: GEN) incorporated in Delaware that describes itself as having dual headquarters in Prague and Tempe, Arizona, so the Czech company is a subsidiary of a US group. Gen Digital is subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act. Where user data is stored and which processor terms apply should be confirmed with the vendor. For organisations with strict requirements on jurisdiction and logging, that is an important point to clarify.
