What We Collect

The TLS Lane agent collects TLS handshake metadata from connections it observes. This includes:

DataHow stored
Domain (SNI)Plaintext, transmitted over HTTPS
Cipher suitePlaintext (e.g., "AES-256-GCM")
TLS versionPlaintext (e.g., "TLS 1.3")
Key exchange groupPlaintext (e.g., "X25519", "ML-KEM-768")
ActionPlaintext (monitor, spliced, passthrough, blocked)
DirectionInbound or outbound
TimestampUTC timestamp of the connection
Error countNumber of agent errors (no error content)

Domain names are server identifiers in TLS handshakes, not personal data. They are sent in plaintext over HTTPS because hashing provides no real privacy — the domain space is small and any deterministic hash is trivially reversible via dictionary lookup. Plaintext domains are required for the crypto inventory to be useful.

What We Do Not Collect

Agent Log Retrieval

When you request agent logs from the Support page, your agent uploads its flight-recorder buffer (last 10 minutes, max 1000 entries). These logs may contain IP addresses, hostnames, file paths, or other operational data.

Data Transport

All agent-to-server communication uses HTTPS. Event batches and log uploads are gzip-compressed before transmission. For full data sovereignty, deploy the management server on-premises.

Account Data

When you register, we store:

Data Retention

Connection events are automatically purged after your configured retention period (default: 90 days). You can change this in your account settings.

Data Portability

You can export all your data at any time via GET /api/account/export. This returns your account info, agent list, and aggregated event data as JSON.

Right to Erasure

You can delete your account at any time from the dashboard or via DELETE /api/account. This permanently and irreversibly deletes:

On-Premises Deployment

For organizations that require data sovereignty, TLS Lane can be deployed on-premises. In this configuration, no data leaves your network. Point your agents to your internal management server:

tlslane --management https://tlslane-mgmt.internal.corp

Third Parties

We do not sell, share, or provide your data to third parties. The management server does not include third-party analytics, tracking scripts, or advertising.

Security

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be communicated via the dashboard or email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
