We collect personal information (name, company, company, e-mail address, address, billing details, etc.) from you for various purposes which help us serve you better. Some of the purposes are listed below:

  • Login: When you create an account or sign-in to Beeceptor, we ask you and store your basic information like your full name, email address, password, company, profile picture, social-account id (i.e. Github, Google), etc for the purpose of identification and deliver personalized services.

We use this information to audit, monitor and further improve our services.
  • When you send a request to the mock-server, Beeceptor saves the HTTP parameters, including headers, payload, method, and IP addresses. Please note that the requests to the mock-server is retained for a period of 15 days. After this duration, the data is automatically purged from Beeceptor's system.

Audit Logs, Sending Data to Beeceptor & Routing

  • Log Files: Beeceptor follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
  • When you send a request to proxy, endpoint's sub-domain or mock-server, Beeceptor logs information about the HTTP/HTTPs request to audit/monitor/track usage of the mock-server or endpoint. This information includes HTTP Method, Request Path, Host, Headers, IP address, content size, content type, payload or body, etc. This information is logged in server logs (in plain text) and databases to help us rate limit requests. It is advised that you do not send your production keys/secrets to Beeceptor.
  • The free endpoints (mock-servers) are public, and anyone having link (URL) to it can intercept and view requests. We cannot guarantee protection of your information (PII, production keys, secrets, etc.) under free plans. It is advised that you upgrade the endpoint to a private endpoint and benefit from other exclusive features.
