How that compares to other VPNs
Of the 5 VPNs compared here, Surfshark declares collecting data in 6 categories against a median of 4, the most of any app in this group. It declares sharing no data with third parties.
A higher count is not automatically worse — an app that syncs your own data between your devices declares collection just as an ad-funded one does. The sharing column is the sharper signal, because it means the data left the developer.
