Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 16, 2026

ClauseWatch ("we", "us") is operated as a solo project by Antonius, based in Jakarta, Indonesia. This page explains what data we collect and why.

What we collect

When you use ClauseWatch, we may collect:

Account/contact data: your email address, if you sign up, subscribe, or contact us.
Monitored URLs: the public web pages you ask us to monitor (e.g. a vendor's Terms of Service page). We do not require you to submit any private or authenticated content.
Payment data: if you purchase a paid plan, payment is processed by Creem, our merchant of record. We do not receive or store your card details. Creem shares your email and order reference with us so we can activate your plan.
Basic server logs: standard web server logs (IP address, request time, user agent) kept briefly for security and abuse prevention.

What we monitor and store

For each URL you ask us to monitor, we periodically fetch the publicly available page, extract its text content, and store a SHA-256 hash and a text snapshot of each version. This is the core function of the product: detecting and recording when a public legal or policy page changes. We only fetch pages that are publicly accessible and respect each site's robots.txt.

How we use data

To provide the monitoring service you signed up for (fetching pages, detecting changes, sending you alerts).
To operate your account and paid subscription, including provisioning your plan after a purchase via Creem.
To respond if you contact us for support.

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data to train third-party models. We do use a third-party AI service (Groq) to generate a short plain-English summary of significant changes we detect on the pages you monitor — only the diff of the public page text is sent for this purpose, never your personal data.

Data retention

We retain monitored page snapshots and version history for as long as you keep a document actively monitored, so that the hash-verified history remains meaningful. If you ask us to stop monitoring a document, we will remove it and its snapshots on request.

Third parties we use

Creem — payment processing and merchant-of-record services.
Groq — generates plain-English summaries of detected changes.
Cloudflare — DNS.

Your rights

You can ask us what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and associated data, by emailing us (below). We will respond as promptly as we can.

Terms of Service

Last updated: August 16, 2026

These terms govern your use of ClauseWatch, operated by Antonius, a solo developer based in Jakarta, Indonesia ("we", "us"). By using ClauseWatch, you agree to these terms.

What ClauseWatch does

ClauseWatch monitors publicly accessible web pages that you specify (such as a vendor's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or pricing page), detects when they change, records a hash-verified version history, and can alert you and summarize what changed. We provide this as an informational tool — it is not legal advice, and detected changes should be independently reviewed before you rely on them for a legal or compliance decision.

Plans and billing

A Free plan is available with limited monitoring.
Paid plans (Pro, Team) are billed monthly and processed by Creem, acting as merchant of record. Your relationship for payment purposes is with Creem; card statements will show a Creem-related descriptor.
You may cancel a paid plan at any time via the customer portal link sent to you at purchase, or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future billing; we do not provide refunds for partial billing periods except where required by law or at our discretion.

Acceptable use

You agree to only submit URLs you have a legitimate reason to monitor, and not to use ClauseWatch to monitor private, authenticated, or unauthorized content. We reserve the right to decline or remove monitoring of any URL, and to suspend accounts used for abusive, illegal, or harmful purposes.

No warranty

ClauseWatch is provided "as is." We do our best to reliably detect and report changes to monitored pages, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted monitoring, complete detection of every change, or the accuracy of automated risk scoring or AI-generated summaries. Any alert or summary is a starting point for your own review, not a legal conclusion.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, ClauseWatch and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including decisions made in reliance on a monitoring alert or missed detection of a change.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date. Fittingly, if you're a paying customer, this is exactly the kind of change ClauseWatch itself is built to help you track.
