Privacy-first by design — and a plain, honest account of exactly what we do and don't store.
obacht is built so your data stays on your own hardware. To run the service we do keep some data on our side — here is the complete, honest picture of what we store, what we don't, and what we technically cannot access.
Obacht runs on European infrastructure (Hetzner, Germany). Devices connect through outbound-only WireGuard tunnels, so your device is never exposed to inbound ports on the public internet. Terminal access uses SSH public-key authentication, and private keys stay encrypted in your browser — obacht never receives them. All connections are encrypted in transit.
You can delete your account and everything tied to it at any time from the dashboard — this cascades to your devices, metrics, logs, keys, domains and projects. We share data only with the essential providers needed to run the service (hosting and authentication, plus payment processing once billing is live), never with advertisers or data brokers. Metrics and logs are retained only as long as they are useful for operating your devices.
