Data Collection
This page describes what data Nekotopia collects about your usage of the Torus network.
What We Collect
Connection Metrics
| Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Connection status | Know when you're online | 30 days |
| Bandwidth usage | Enforce tier limits, billing | 30 days |
| Last handshake time | Monitor connection health | 30 days |
Traffic Metadata
We collect aggregate traffic statistics for capacity planning:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Total bytes transferred | Capacity planning |
| Protocol distribution | Network optimisation |
| Peak usage times | Infrastructure scaling |
Important: We do NOT inspect packet contents. All traffic through the Torus is encrypted end-to-end using WireGuard. We see encrypted blobs, not what you're sending or receiving.
What We Don't Collect
- Traffic contents — Your data is encrypted
- Browsing history — We don't run a DNS logging proxy
- Application data — This is bound by our general terms of use but we don't police it
How Data Is Used
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Service delivery | Route your traffic, enforce bandwidth limits |
| Troubleshooting | Diagnose connection issues when you report problems |
| Capacity planning | Ensure we have enough resources for all users |
| Abuse prevention | Detect unusual patterns that might indicate misuse |
