1. Information we process
Depending on how you use Watchtower, we may process account identifiers such as email or username, protected authentication data, plan and billing status, referral attribution, support messages, security and server logs, feature preferences, saved workspaces, watchlists, notes, alerts, imports and other content you choose to store.
2. Payment information
Payments are handled by PayPal or another identified payment provider. Watchtower receives billing identifiers, plan, status and related account metadata needed to activate and manage access. We do not need to receive your full card or bank-account number from the payment provider.
3. Cookies and local storage
Watchtower uses session cookies and browser storage for authentication, security, preferences and saved local state. Referral attribution may be stored for up to 30 days after a referral link is used so an approved affiliate can receive credit. The public landing page does not include third-party advertising trackers.
4. Why information is used
Information is used to provide and secure the service, authenticate accounts, process subscriptions, retain user-requested work, operate source integrations, diagnose failures, prevent abuse, respond to support requests and improve reliability and usability.
5. Sharing
Information may be shared with infrastructure, hosting, payment and service providers only as needed to operate Watchtower; when required by law; to protect users or the service; or as part of a legitimate business transfer. Watchtower does not sell personal information for third-party advertising.
6. Public-source data and user imports
Watchtower processes records from public and third-party sources. Private user workspaces and exposure imports are intended to remain account-scoped where the feature states that they are private. Do not upload secrets or regulated personal information unless the feature is explicitly suitable for it.
7. Retention and security
Information is retained while needed to provide the service, meet legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes and protect security. Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Your choices
You may request access, correction or deletion of account information, subject to applicable law and necessary security, billing and recordkeeping exceptions. You can clear browser-local data through your browser, though doing so may remove saved preferences or sign you out.
9. International processing and changes
Service providers and infrastructure may process information in different countries, subject to applicable safeguards. This notice may be updated as Watchtower changes. The effective date above identifies the current version.
