Privacy, terms & refunds

Privacy

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics scripts. Each page carries one 1×1 image served by jsDelivr so we can count page loads in aggregate (a public per-file request count, nothing about you); no cookies, no identifiers. It is hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, which logs requests under its own privacy policy. If you subscribe for email updates, Gumroad holds your address under its policy and every message carries an unsubscribe link; we never see a list we can export. The free template runs entirely inside your own GitHub account; it sends nothing to us. If you buy the hosted watch, Gumroad processes payment under its own policy. We hold no credential of yours: there is no webhook box at checkout (removed 22 September 2026), only your vendor list and an access code your browser generates. Both stay in your Gumroad order; the runner reads them at each check and never publishes them, and they are ignored once your term ends or you are refunded. Your feed address is derived from your email and your 130-bit access code with 600,000 rounds of PBKDF2, in your own browser — it is link-private, not secret-grade, and it carries public incident text plus the vendor names you chose. Gumroad holds your email; we do not.

Terms

Vendor states and incident text are republished from each vendor's public status page and may lag or be wrong; this project is informational and is not an uptime measurement or a substitute for the vendor's own notifications. Software is provided under the MIT licence, as is, without warranty. The template, the action and the hosted watch are best-effort; all three tell you when a vendor cannot be read rather than show a false OK.

Refunds

Hosted watch ($49 / 12 months): Full refund within 30 days for any reason — reply to your Gumroad receipt. After that, a pro-rata refund if alerts stop for 7 consecutive days through our fault. No auto-renewal: the term ends unless you buy again.
