Facebook Login Authentication

Facebook Login Authentication allows guests to authenticate using their Facebook account as part of the network login process.
The OAuth authentication flow is facilitated through a shared application endpoint hosted by the manufacturer. Authentication responses are securely forwarded to the operator’s device, where user data may be stored locally according to operator configuration.

Note: Wavertech does not store or retain guest authentication data generated through this feature.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Operator Responsibility
    The hotspot operator is responsible for configuring Facebook Login, obtaining valid user consent, and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws and Facebook platform policies.

  • Local Data Storage
    If enabled, user profile name and email address (subject to user consent) may be stored locally on the device according to operator configuration. Wavertech does not store or retain this data.

  • Privacy Notice
    Operators must inform users how authentication data is collected, stored, and used through their Terms and Privacy page. Legal texts can be configured in Captive Portal > Legal Compliance.
