PageVigil ("we") provides website change monitoring via a Chrome extension, a web dashboard, and a hosted checking service. This policy explains what we collect and why. The short version: we collect only what the service needs to work, we don't sell data, and you can delete everything at any time.
What we collect
Account data: your email address, used for sign-in (one-time codes) and for delivering alerts. We never see or store a password.
Monitor configuration: the URLs you choose to watch, the page element you selected, and your alert condition.
Monitored content: text snapshots of the specific element (or page) you asked us to watch, and the change history between checks. This is content from public web pages you selected — not your browsing history.
Billing data: if you subscribe, payment is processed by Stripe. We store only your plan and a Stripe customer reference — never card numbers.
What we don't collect
No browsing history. The extension only reads a page when you actively click "watch something on this page", and only the element you pick.
No tracking pixels, no advertising identifiers, no analytics resale.
How monitored content is processed
When a watched page changes, the difference may be sent to an AI model (Anthropic's Claude, via API) to decide whether the change is meaningful and to write the alert summary. Only the changed text of the element you chose is sent — never your account details.
Service providers

Retention & deletion

Extension permissions
activeTab / scripting: used only when you click the PageVigil button, to let you pick an element on the current page.
storage: stores your sign-in session locally in your browser.
