Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026. This policy explains how OakWall processes and protects data when you use our website, dashboard, and Layer 7 edge mitigation infrastructure.
1. Core Principles
OakWall is engineered to protect web infrastructure against DDoS, botnets, and application-layer attacks. We believe in minimal data collection, zero sale of personal data, and absolute transparency regarding what traffic passes through our edge nodes.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information strictly necessary to provide and secure our services:
- Account Information: When registering, we collect your email address and authentication credentials.
- Edge Request Metadata: When routing traffic through OakWall, our edge proxies inspect HTTP/HTTPS request headers, IP addresses, request paths, user-agent strings, and behavioral signatures to identify and drop malicious payloads.
- Billing Data: Payment details are processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party providers. We do not store raw card numbers on our servers.
3. How We Use Traffic Data
Edge traffic data is analyzed in real time solely for:
- Detecting and mitigating HTTP floods, automated scrapers, and credential attacks.
- Generating aggregated traffic and bandwidth analytics in your customer dashboard.
- Maintaining edge routing stability and preventing platform abuse.
We do not inspect or monetize the payload contents of your application traffic for advertising or profiling.
4. Data Retention & Security
Edge operational logs and threat event traces are retained on an automated rolling rotation cycle (typically 7 to 30 days) before permanent deletion. All data in transit and at rest is secured using industry-standard TLS encryption and hardened infrastructure protocols.
5. Your Rights
You retain the right to access, modify, export, or permanently delete your account data and registered domain configurations at any time via your dashboard or by reaching out to our team.
