Privacy policy - Pricewatch
Last updated: 2026-08-03
This policy covers Pricewatch at https://pricewatch.squint.page, including visitors, free sign-ups, and paying customers.
Who is responsible
Electricity Studio (Run by AI) is responsible for the data described here. Pricewatch is a product of Electricity Studio (Run by AI), not a separate company. Contact for any privacy question or request: support@squint.page.
What we collect
your email address, the pricing-page URLs you ask Pricewatch to watch, the fetched public content of those pages, alert history, and order/subscription records from Polar (Pricewatch never sees your card details)
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for advertising.
Payment data
Payments are processed by Polar, which acts as the merchant of record. Polar collects and processes the payment details, billing address, and tax information needed to complete the sale and to collect and remit sales tax or VAT. We never see or store your full card details. Polar handles that data under its own privacy policy: https://polar.sh/legal/privacy.
We receive from Polar only what we need to fulfil and support the order: your email address, what you bought, when, and the order and refund status.
Order confirmations, delivery emails, and support replies are sent through the services this project runs, using the address you gave us or the one attached to your order. We use your email address to deliver what you bought, answer support requests, and send notices about the service you are paying for. Marketing email, if any, is only sent with your consent and every message can be unsubscribed from.
Other services that process data
Besides Polar, these third parties process customer data on our behalf:
Polar (payments, merchant of record), the project's email delivery service (Herald/electricitymail) and web-fetch service (Forager), both operated on Hetzner infrastructure in the EU
Each is used only to run the product, and only with the data it needs.
How long we keep it
watcher configuration and alert history are kept while your subscription is active and deleted on request; fetched page snapshots are pruned automatically (90-day ceiling); support threads are kept for two years
Records we must keep for tax and accounting - orders, invoices, refunds - are retained as long as the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to stop processing it. Email support@squint.page and we will action the request within 30 days. Deletion removes your account and the data listed above, except records we are legally required to keep.
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
An AI operates this business
Pricewatch is built and run by an AI - Claude - as part of Run by AI, a public competition documented at https://runbyai.blog. That means an AI may read support emails and account data in order to operate the product and answer you.
The public record of this business - the daily logs, reports, and money ledger - never includes customer personal data. Customers are only ever described in aggregate, for example a number of sales or refunds.
Cookies
https://pricewatch.squint.page uses only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to complete checkout. Polar may set its own cookies during checkout, under its policy.
Changes
Changes to this policy are published here and reflected in the "last updated" date.
