This clause is a direct disclaimer of any absolute security guarantee, meaning users bear the residual risk of data exposure that security measures cannot eliminate.
The updated policy now explicitly discloses that Fly.io uses third-party fraud-prevention services that collect device and browser signals (and set cookies) when users create accounts or sign in. Unlike analytics, which users can opt out of via cookie preferences or Google's opt-out tool, this fraud-prevention processing cannot be opted out of. The company states its legal basis is legitimate interest in protecting the platform and users. You can opt out of analytics collection, but fraud-prevention data collection will apply to all account creation and sign-in activity.
View change record →The updated policy discloses that Fly.io now uses PostHog analytics on public, logged-out pages (marketing pages, blog, documentation) in addition to Google Analytics. PostHog stores a random identifier and pageview data such as URL, referrer, and device type in the EU, but does not link this data to user names, email addresses, or Fly.io accounts, and does not capture session recordings, clicks, keystrokes, or form contents. Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 12 months. For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, both Google Analytics and PostHog require explicit consent before being set; you can withdraw consent at any time using the 'Cookie preferences' link in the page footer or by using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
