This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how DIAMWALL, LDA ("DiamWall", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated under Portuguese law with registered office at R. Fialho de Almeida 14 2 esq, 1070-129 Lisboa, Portugal, collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data in connection with our Websites and Services.
This Policy is issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR"), Portuguese Law no. 58/2019 of 8 August implementing the GDPR, and Law no. 41/2004 of 18 August on privacy in electronic communications. The GDPR applies to all data subjects in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and governs all personal data processing described herein. References to "personal data" have the meaning given in Article 4(1) GDPR.
DiamWall is committed to processing personal data transparently, lawfully, and only for the purposes described in this Policy. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
For data protection enquiries or to exercise your rights, contact us at: privacy@diamwall.com
As data controller: DiamWall (DIAMWALL, LDA) is the data controller for personal data collected directly from Website Visitors, Customers, and Administrative Users as described in this Policy.
As data processor: When DiamWall provides CDN, security, and network Services to its Customers, DiamWall acts as a data processor on behalf of those Customers with respect to: Customer Logs, Administrative User activity logs, account configuration data, and any personal data of End Users that transits or is stored on DiamWall's network. In such cases, DiamWall processes that data solely pursuant to Customer instructions and in accordance with the DiamWall Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") where applicable. Where the DPA applies, it forms part of the relevant customer agreement and governs processor-related obligations under Article 28 GDPR.
Our Customers are independently responsible for establishing lawful bases for and ensuring their own compliance with applicable data protection law in relation to the End Users they interact with through DiamWall's Services.
This Policy applies to the following categories of data subjects:
This Policy does not apply to DiamWall Customers' own websites, APIs, applications, or networks, which are governed by those Customers' own privacy policies.
DiamWall's Websites and Services are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If we become aware that we hold personal data of a person under 16, we will delete it promptly.
When DiamWall operates as a reverse proxy, our IP addresses may appear in WHOIS and DNS records. We are a conduit for content controlled by our Customers, who are responsible for the content transmitted across our network.
DiamWall collects and processes Network Data — models, observations, analyses, statistics, and other information created or derived from server, network, or traffic data generated in the course of providing our Services. This includes service uptime metrics, request volumes, error rates, cache rates, malware origin and nature, and IP threat scores. Where Network Data is derived from personal data, it is processed on the legal basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) to maintain the security and integrity of our network.
DiamWall may receive limited personal data from third-party service providers that support the operation of our Services, such as payment providers, fraud-prevention providers, analytics providers, or error-monitoring providers. Where we combine such information with data we already hold, we do so only where we have an appropriate legal basis and only for the purposes described in this Policy.
DiamWall processes personal data only where a valid legal basis under Article 6 GDPR exists. The table below maps each processing purpose to its legal basis:

Where DiamWall relies on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) as its legal basis, we have carried out a balancing test and concluded that our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. You may request a copy of our legitimate interests assessment by contacting privacy@diamwall.com.
Where DiamWall relies on consent (Article 6(1)(a)) as its legal basis, you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
DiamWall may aggregate and anonymise personal data collected from Customers, Administrative Users, and End Users to produce statistical insights about service usage, performance, and security trends. Truly anonymised data — from which no individual can be identified — is not personal data under the GDPR and may be shared with third parties or published without restriction.
DiamWall does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may share personal data only in the following circumstances:
DiamWall is headquartered in Portugal and primarily stores personal data within the European Economic Area. In the course of providing its Services, DiamWall may transfer personal data to third countries outside the EEA (including the United States, where certain infrastructure and service providers are located).
All transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries are subject to appropriate safeguards as required by Chapter V GDPR. DiamWall relies on one or more of the following transfer mechanisms:
You may obtain further details about the specific transfer safeguards applicable to any given transfer, including copies of SCCs where relevant, by contacting us at privacy@diamwall.com.
Note: DiamWall no longer relies on the EU-US Privacy Shield or Swiss-US Privacy Shield frameworks, which were invalidated by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited and Maximillian Schrems (Case C-311/18, "Schrems II") on 16 July 2020. Any prior references to Privacy Shield in older versions of this Policy are superseded in their entirety by this Section 7.
DiamWall retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as required by applicable law, or as needed to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. The following indicative retention periods apply:
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with DiamWall's internal data deletion procedures.
As a data subject in the EEA or Portugal, you have the following rights under the GDPR, which you may exercise free of charge:
To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to privacy@diamwall.com. We will respond within one month of receipt and verification of your identity. In complex or multiple-request cases, we may extend this period by a further two months in accordance with Article 12(3) GDPR, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it within the first month.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Where a request relates to the personal data of another individual, we will balance that request against the rights of the other person.
DiamWall will send commercial communications (newsletters, product updates, promotions) only in accordance with your communication preferences and applicable law. You may manage or withdraw your communication preferences at any time by:
Please note that even if you opt out of commercial communications, DiamWall will continue to send you transactional and service-related messages (such as security alerts, invoices, and technical notices), which are necessary for the performance of our contract with you.
DiamWall implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, network segmentation, and regular security testing.
In the event of a personal data breach, DiamWall will comply with its notification obligations under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR. This means:
If you have concerns about the security of your personal data, please contact us at privacy@diamwall.com.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR or applicable Portuguese data protection law.
The competent supervisory authority for DiamWall is:

If you are habitually resident in another EU Member State, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the Member State of your habitual residence or place of work.
We encourage you to contact us first at privacy@diamwall.com so that we can attempt to resolve your concern before you escalate it to a supervisory authority.
In the event of a merger, sale, change of control, or reorganisation of all or part of DiamWall's business, personal data held by DiamWall may be transferred to the relevant successor entity as part of that transaction. Where required by applicable law, DiamWall will notify affected data subjects before their personal data is transferred to a new controller, and will ensure that any successor entity provides equivalent protections to those described in this Policy. If the successor entity intends to process personal data for materially different purposes, affected data subjects will be informed and given the opportunity to object or request deletion before such processing begins.
DiamWall may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Where we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our Websites and, where required by law, by seeking your renewed consent. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
This Policy is available in English. Where translations into other languages are provided, they are for convenience only; in the event of any conflict or ambiguity, the English version shall prevail.
