3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on infrastructure provided by various cloud providers. All customer instances are logically separated to ensure data isolation and security. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
4. Third-Party Services

5. Data Processing Agreement
In providing our Service, we act as both a data controller (for account information, payment data, and service usage data) and a data processor (for data stored within your Uptime-Kuma instances). We process data within your Uptime-Kuma instances only for the purpose of performing automated backups and restores, and for troubleshooting purposes when necessary to maintain service availability. In accordance with GDPR Article 28, when we act as a processor:
- We process personal data only on your documented instructions
- We ensure that persons authorized to process personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations
- We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk
- We assist you in responding to data subject requests
- We assist you in ensuring compliance with GDPR obligations regarding security, breach notification, and data protection impact assessments
- We delete or return all personal data upon termination of the service, unless retention is required by law
- We make available to you all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with GDPR Article 28
This Privacy Policy serves as our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the purposes of GDPR compliance. By using our Service, you acknowledge and agree to these data processing terms.
6. Data Access and Control
Our system is automated, and only service accounts interact directly with customer instances. For advanced troubleshooting or disaster recovery, we may escalate permissions to backend engineers. Such escalated access is limited to:
- System configuration and infrastructure data necessary for troubleshooting
- Instance metadata and operational logs
- Data required for disaster recovery operations
Escalated access is only granted when necessary for resolving critical issues, ensuring service availability, or performing disaster recovery. All such access is logged and audited to ensure compliance with data protection regulations, including GDPR. No support-related functions have access to instance databases. Personal data within customer instances is accessed only to the extent necessary for the specific troubleshooting or recovery purpose, and all access is documented and subject to audit.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Service and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
