Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Smart Page Monitor collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Smart Page Monitor browser extension and related services.

Smart Page Monitor is operated by Sean Hart. By using the extension, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

Smart Page Monitor collects only the information reasonably necessary to provide webpage monitoring and notification features.

Monitored webpage information

When you choose to monitor a webpage, the extension may collect and store:

• The webpage URL
• The webpage title
• The website icon, when available
• Your selected monitoring interval
• Page content or a processed representation of it
• Change detection results
• Dates and times associated with page checks

Installation information

The extension may generate an anonymous installation identifier and installation secret. These credentials allow the service to associate your monitored pages with your browser installation without requiring you to create an account.

Technical information

The service may process limited technical information needed for security, troubleshooting, and reliable operation. This may include request timestamps, error information, browser-extension version, and basic server logs.

3. Information we do not intentionally collect

Smart Page Monitor does not intentionally collect:

• Your browsing history outside monitored pages
• Passwords or login credentials
• Payment-card information
• Private messages or email content
• Personal information from pages you have not chosen to monitor

You should not use Smart Page Monitor to monitor pages containing sensitive personal, financial, medical, or confidential information.

4. How we use information

Information may be used to:

• Create and manage your webpage monitors
• Check monitored pages for changes
• Send change notifications
• Display monitor status and change history
• Prevent duplicate monitors and misuse
• Maintain security and service reliability
• Diagnose errors and improve the extension

Information collected through Smart Page Monitor is not sold for advertising purposes.

5. Chrome extension permissions

Smart Page Monitor may request Chrome permissions including:

• Storage: Used to save extension settings and installation credentials.
• Notifications: Used to show alerts when monitored content changes.
• Active tab: Used to identify the webpage you choose to monitor.
• Host permissions: Used to communicate with the Smart Page Monitor service.
• Alarms: Used when necessary to run scheduled extension tasks.

These permissions are used only to provide the extension's stated functionality.

6. Data storage and security

Monitored-page records may be stored on servers used to operate Smart Page Monitor. Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect stored information.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. Therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

7. Data sharing

Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the extension, such as database, hosting, logging, and infrastructure providers.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation
• Respond to a valid legal request
• Protect users, the service, or the public
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security problems

Smart Page Monitor does not sell collected information to data brokers or advertisers.

8. Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the monitoring service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Deleting a monitor removes it from your active monitor list. Some limited records may remain temporarily in backups or security logs.

9. Your choices

You can:

• Disable or delete individual monitors
• Disable browser notifications
• Clear extension storage
• Uninstall the extension
• Contact support regarding stored information

Uninstalling the extension may not automatically delete information stored on the Smart Page Monitor server. Contact support to request deletion of installation-associated information.

10. Children's privacy

Smart Page Monitor is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. Third-party websites

Smart Page Monitor allows you to monitor third-party webpages. Those websites are controlled by their respective owners and are subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

Smart Page Monitor is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or availability of third-party websites.

12. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
