Bot policy

If a request from us reached your server, it identified itself with a User-Agent pointing to this page. This is what our systems are, what they do, and how to make them stop.

Who we are

Desvela runs deterministic watchers on behalf of our customers: lightweight, low-frequency checks that detect changes and deliver signed webhook events. Current agents:

Desvela-BrandWatch/0.1 (+https://desvela.dev/bot) — webhook delivery to endpoints our customers registered themselves.
DesvelaBot/0.1 (+https://desvela.dev/bot) — reserved for future watch checkers (not yet active).

How we behave

Low frequency by design — one request per watch per interval (typically hourly or weekly), never bulk crawling.
robots.txt respected by default.
No disguises — we never rotate identities or spoof browsers to defeat blocks. If you block us, we tell our customer instead of cheating, and we stop charging them for checks we cannot run.
Webhook deliveries only go to URLs explicitly registered by the receiving customer, are HMAC-signed, and refuse redirects.

How to opt out

Add User-agent: DesvelaBot · Disallow: / to your robots.txt — honored on the next check.
Or email hello@desvela.ai with your domain — we blocklist it manually within 48h.
