If you're using this 'free' VPN service or used it in the past as I've, you might want to check this out: "The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), a nonprofit that advocates for free speech and privacy, contends that the free Hotspot Shield VPN, a product of AnchorFree, Inc., is engaging in “unfair and deceptive trade practices” by promising, “secure, private and anonymous access to the Internet” when it is actually tracking, collecting and sharing user data with third parties."

I use the mobile version because my school has blocked some things such as snapchat. Does this apply for the mobile version too?

It's good to check out the Privacy Policy of these VPNs and see what they do/don't collect about its users. "We may use cookies and automatically-collected information we collect on our Service to: (i) provide customized advertisements, content, and information; (ii) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of Service and third-party marketing activities; and (iii) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed."

If the product or service is free, you are the product.

I 100% agree. Although windscribe is not a "real" VPN like Polaris Seltzeris said, it works perfectly and if you want 50 GB for free monthly (So basically unlimited), feel free to PM me.
