Watch This Spot has no server, no accounts and no analytics. Nothing you do in it is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to be sent.
Everything is stored by Chrome on your own computer, in the extension's local storage. For each watch you create, that is:
Anything outside the region you selected. The extension does not store the rest of the page, page source, screenshots, cookies, session tokens, credentials, form values, search queries, or your browsing history. It never reads a page you have not explicitly granted it access to.
The extension is installed with access to no websites at all. When you save your first watch on a
site, Chrome asks whether to grant access to that one site. Watching a page on one site grants
access to that site and to nothing else. You can review and withdraw these grants at any time from
chrome://extensions → Details → Site access.
Some pages can only be read while you are signed in, so a check may open the page in an inactive background tab in your own browser and close it again as soon as it has read the region — usually under ten seconds. Your session stays in your browser. The extension reads the selected region's text and nothing else. The quieter background fetch it tries first is sent without cookies.
The extension contacts exactly two kinds of address: the pages you asked it to watch, and — only if you buy Pro and enter a licence key — our own licence server, to check that the key is valid. That request carries your licence key and nothing else, and access to that address is requested separately at the moment you enter the key. Nothing about your watches is sent with it.
Purchases are handled entirely by Creem, which acts as merchant of record. We never see your card details.
Every watch has a delete control that removes it and everything it stored. The options page has a “delete everything” control. Removing the extension deletes all of it.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. The extension will never start collecting something this page says it does not collect without that change being published here first.
