Because your internet traffic at home moves to and from your devices through your internet service provider — ISP for short — they can see where you go online. An ISP can see what sites you visit, how long you’re on them, your location and information about your devices. An ISP may not know the specifics of what you did on those sites (like what you bought, searched for or read) thanks to encryption, but they could make inferences about you based on the sites that you visited. That personal data can be used by ISPs to create detailed profiles about you. Browsing in private mode doesn’t prevent ISPs from seeing where you go online. But sending your web traffic through a VPN can make it much harder.

Cunquai che tes traffic d'internet da chasa circulescha via tes purschider d'internet (ISP) da ed a tes apparats, sa quel nua che ti ta chattas en l'internet. In purschider d'internet po vesair las websites che ti visitas, quant ditg che ti restas sin quellas, tes lieu e tschertas infurmaziuns davart tes apparats. Eventualmain na sa tes purschider d'internet grazia al criptadi betg exactamain tge che ti has fatg sin questas websites (per exempel tge che ti has cumprà, tschertgà u legì), ma el po trair sias conclusiuns sin basa da las websites che ti has visità. Questas datas persunalas pon vegnir utilisadas dals purschiders d'internet per crear profils detagliads da tai. La navigaziun en il modus privat na po betg impedir ch'ils purschiders d'internet vesian nua che ti ta movas en l'internet. I daventa dentant bler pli grev sch'il traffic da web vegn tramess tras in VPN.
