IPVanish does a good job of protecting your true IP address from the prying eyes and greedy fingers of most hackers and similar troublemakers. Their encryption is strong, and they were confirmed to be a no-logs VPN after a recent third-party audit. However, IPVanish is based in the United States. Under current laws, the US Government can force VPNs to start tracking your online activities and send the results to the FBI or other agencies. So to answer your question, under most circumstances, you cannot be tracked while using IPVanish.
