- Payment Information: Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card information directly. Please refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle payment data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information solely for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our Service
- To process payments and manage subscriptions
- To communicate with you about your account, service updates, and support requests
- To ensure the security and integrity of our Service
- To measure traffic, understand how visitors use our website, and improve the performance of our pages and campaigns
- To measure advertising effectiveness, attribute conversions, build audiences, and show or optimize ads, including retargeting campaigns where permitted by applicable law
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information for money. We do use analytics and advertising technologies, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads, to understand traffic, measure campaign performance, attribute conversions, build audiences, and support retargeting. Depending on your jurisdiction, this type of processing may be treated as targeted advertising, sharing, or a similar regulated activity.
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
We use the following third-party services that may process your personal information:
- Google Tag Manager: Tag management services used to deploy analytics and advertising tags. See Google's Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics: Website analytics and reporting services used to understand traffic, engagement, and campaign performance. See Google's Privacy Policy
- Google Ads: Advertising, conversion measurement, audience building, and retargeting services. See Google's Privacy Policy
- Stripe: Payment processing services. See Stripe's Privacy Policy
- Hetzner: Hosting services. See Hetzner's Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare: DNS and network services. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy

If we link Google Analytics with Google Ads, information collected through our website may be used for reporting, campaign attribution, conversion measurement, audience creation, and retargeting in accordance with our settings, Google's terms, and the choices you make through our consent tools where applicable.
5. Cookies, Advertising, and Your Choices
We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand website usage, measure campaign performance, track conversions, and support advertising and retargeting activities.
You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and revisit your choices later through your account settings. You can also use your browser settings and available third-party opt-out tools such as Google Ads Settings and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
6. Customer Data Processing
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
When we process Customer Personal Data on your behalf in connection with your hosted Uptime-Kuma instance, that processing is governed by our Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which is incorporated into our Terms of Service.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
