Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Account data. Your name, email address, and a hashed password. Premium customers also have a Stripe customer ID linked to their account.

Monitoring data. For sites you save, we record check results: HTTP status, response and TTFB times, DNS and TCP timings, redirect chains, page title, canonical URL, robots meta, security headers, SSL certificate metadata, and an optional keyword presence check.

Usage data. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics records anonymised usage information such as pages viewed and approximate location.

Advertising. Free accounts see ads served by Google AdSense. With your consent, AdSense and its partners may use cookies to personalise those ads. Without consent we serve non-personalised ads only.

2. How we use it

• To run uptime and performance checks against the sites you save.
• To email downtime and recovery alerts when you opt in.
• To authenticate you and protect your account.
• To process Premium payments through Stripe.
• To improve the service through aggregate analytics.

3. Cookies and consent

We use a small set of cookies for sign-in and core functionality. Optional analytics and personalised-ad cookies only run after you opt in via the cookie banner. You can change your choices at any time by clearing the banner preferences in your browser.

4. Retention

• Account data is kept while your account is active.
• Individual monitoring results are retained for 7 days, after which they are automatically deleted.
• When you delete your account from Settings, all your data, including saved sites and history, is removed permanently.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your data. We share information only with the third parties needed to operate WebWatch:

• Stripe for payment processing.
• Google AdSense for advertising on free accounts.
• Google Analytics for usage analytics, only if you opt in.

Each service operates under its own privacy policy.

6. Security

Passwords are stored using a salted hash. Traffic between your browser and WebWatch is encrypted with HTTPS. We restrict internal access to data on a need-to-know basis.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. Account deletion through Settings removes everything we hold about you. For other requests, email info@jj-digital.uk.

8. Changes

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
