This Privacy Policy explains how OpenMQTT ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and protects personal data in connection with the OpenMQTT cloud MQTT service ("the Service"). We are committed to processing personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The data controller is OpenMQTT. Email: privacy@openmqtt.com
If you are using OpenMQTT as a business customer and request a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), we may act as a data processor for MQTT payloads and device data.
We collect the minimum information necessary to operate a secure, reliable MQTT service.
When subscribing to a paid plan, billing information is processed by our payment processor: Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Stripe Privacy Policy). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
To operate your broker, we process:
By default, we do not store the contents of MQTT messages. Payloads may be stored only if you explicitly enable:
We may process device IP, reconnect attempts, authentication success/failure, and usage statistics (traffic, sessions, quotas). This helps ensure stability, performance, and abuse prevention.
We use cookies for login sessions, user preferences, and website analytics (anonymised). We may use tools such as Plausible Analytics, Google Analytics (optional, consent-based), and Cloudflare.
We process data exclusively for:
We do not sell or share data with advertisers.
We process personal data under the following legal bases:
To provide the Service: account creation, MQTT broker operation, dashboards, logs, flows, billing
Security monitoring, abuse prevention, analytics for product improvement
Optional analytics, optional logging of MQTT payloads, optional newsletters
Bookkeeping, anti-fraud safeguards, tax/VAT documentation
We only share data with trusted subprocessors necessary to operate the Service:
We ensure all subprocessors sign GDPR-compliant DPAs and operate under European data protection standards. We never sell personal data.
If data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we ensure Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), supplemental safeguards, and GDPR-compatible protection levels. Most user data is stored within the EU (depending on region/plan).
We retain data only as long as necessary:
| Data Type | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until deletion |
| Billing data | 7–10 years (legal requirement) |
| Connection logs | 7–30 days (depending on plan) |
| Message payloads (if enabled) | 1–30 days (depending on plan) |
| Debug logs | 24–72 hours |
| Support tickets | Until resolved + 12 months |
You may request deletion at any time (see Section 9).
We implement industry-standard security measures:
However, no service is 100% secure. You are responsible for securing your IoT devices and client code.

⚠️ Important: This page explains our terms in plain language. It's here to help you understand what you're agreeing to – but the full Terms of Service are the legally binding document.
This page explains our terms in plain, human language.
The full Terms of Service is the legally binding version — this one exists because lawyers don't understand normal people.
We host MQTT brokers so you don't have to install Mosquitto, open ports on your router, fight with certificates, or reboot a Raspberry Pi that overheated in your shed.
We're built for:
If your project involves sensors, automations or something weird you built on your kitchen table, you're in the right place.
Super important:
Do NOT use OpenMQTT for:
We're here to make your projects easier — not to keep people alive. Please choose responsibly.
We aim for stability.
But MQTT is not magic, and the internet sometimes has… "personality."
Messages can be:
So don't connect your heart monitor or your missile launcher to this.
You must secure:
If your ESP32 starts spamming a million messages a second, that's on you (and we'll probably temporarily block it 😅).
Please avoid:
Play nice. Build cool things. Don't be that guy.
You can cancel your account whenever you want — no drama, no hidden fees.
If you leave, we'll delete your data according to our retention settings.
We're not an ad-tech company.
We don't sell or share your personal data with marketers or villains.
We never store your full payment info.
Stripe does that. They're good at it.
We're humans.
We answer like humans — not like robots pretending to be lawyers.
