How Mellowtel stays secure

When you opt in, Mellowtel uses a small share of your unused bandwidth to fetch public web pages. The developer of the product you use earns a share of the revenue.

How we control network access

Vetted partners

We review the companies that want to use Mellowtel and what they intend to use it for. That includes a call with our team before they can send requests through the network.

Read about partner checks

Request limits

The SDK caps how many requests a device can process. Limits adapt to available bandwidth and network conditions, and partners cannot raise them from outside the SDK.

How rate limits work

URL blocklists

We use a URL blocklist to filter out requests to destinations we do not allow. We also monitor the URLs requested through the network for misuse.

Report misuse

Isolated requests

Web requests run in an isolated window without access to your browsing history, cookies, local storage, or data inside your apps.
