Fair Use Policy

What is a Fair Use Policy?

We want our Customers to use the Remote.It Service to connect to their Devices and Endpoints freely. This Fair Use Policy ensures that all users experience a high level of service quality and that system resources are distributed fairly.

While many Customers connect to multiple Devices or Endpoints regularly, excessive usage may degrade performance for others. We monitor usage metrics to prevent abuse and to ensure fair distribution of network capacity.

This policy defines reasonable usage thresholds based on your Subscription Plan and whether the use is for Personal or Business purposes.

Why Do We Have a Fair Use Policy?

Remote.It offers powerful services designed to remain cost-effective. To maintain performance and affordability, we must ensure that no customer overuses shared infrastructure in a way that could impact others.

This policy protects service quality and ensures long-term value for all customers.

How Does the Fair Use Policy Work?

We define usage thresholds for Free and Paid Subscription Plans. Most users will not be affected. If you exceed these limits, we may:

Notify you via email (if provided);
Request that you reduce Device, Endpoint, or API usage;
Require you to upgrade your plan;
Limit or suspend account access after repeated overuse.

We monitor:

Number of Devices and Endpoints
Frequency of proxy or API-based connections
Total data transferred via proxy
Account access behavior

This monitoring is done to detect service abuse and is conducted in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Usage data is retained only as long as necessary to enforce this policy.

Remote.It may process usage-related Personal Data such as:

Device and Endpoint IDs
API call logs
Connection timestamps and frequency
IP addresses for login verification

This processing is performed under Remote.It’s legitimate interest to maintain platform performance and prevent misuse. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, delete, or restrict processing of your data.

To exercise these rights or object to usage-related monitoring, please contact legal@remote.it.
