PageVigil Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-07 · Effective for PageVigil browser extension v1.9.0 and PageVigil Cloud

PageVigil is a webpage-change monitoring extension. This policy explains what data the extension and the optional PageVigil Cloud sync service collect, why, and how it is protected. We follow the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies.

1. Data We Collect

a) Account data (only if you enable Cloud Sync). When you create a PageVigil Cloud account we store your email address and a password. Passwords are never stored in plaintext — they are hashed on the server (bcrypt) and a random salt is kept in your local browser storage for end-to-end-encrypted sync.

b) Monitored page content. To detect changes, PageVigil fetches and stores the text/HTML content of the specific webpages you choose to monitor. This content is stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB) and, if Cloud Sync is enabled, in encrypted form on our sync server.

c) Watchlist metadata. We store the URLs, page titles, and check schedules of the pages you add to monitor. This is your configuration, not general browsing history.

d) Optional notification & AI settings. If you configure notifications or AI summaries, the following are stored locally on your device only and are never sent to us: your own email SMTP credentials, Telegram bot token, Slack/Discord webhook URL, and your own LLM API key (used for the Bring-Your-Own-Key AI summary feature).

e) Server logs. The sync server records standard request metadata including IP address and timestamps for security and abuse prevention. Logs are retained only as long as necessary.

f) Payments. Subscriptions are processed on our website through PayPal. The extension never handles card or payment data. We receive only the payer email and plan from PayPal; we do not store card numbers.

We do not collect health information, precise location/GPS, your general browsing history, personal communications (email/SMS content), or keystroke/mouse activity.

2. How Data Is Used

3. Permissions Used by the Extension

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties, except: (1) to our own sync server for the Cloud Sync feature you opt into; (2) to your chosen AI provider using your own API key; (3) to PayPal solely for payment processing on the website. We do not use user data for advertising or credit/loan decisions.

5. Data Security

Cloud Sync uses end-to-end encryption: watch data is encrypted on your device with a key derived from your password before it leaves the browser. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed server-side. Sync tokens are JWT-based and expire.

6. Your Controls & Retention

7. Children

PageVigil is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

8. Changes

We will post any changes to this page and update the "Last updated" date.
