Privacy Policy

Date of last revision: April 2026

1. Who We Are?

The name of our company is Watchflare, and we’re registered as a business entity. Watchflare is a platform for finding, automating, tracking changes, and enhancing data through AI.

What Is This?

This is a privacy policy and the reason we have it is to tell you how we collect, manage, store, and use your information.

Just so we’re clear, whenever we say “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ourselves”, we’re talking about Watchflare and whenever we say “you” or “your,” we’re talking about the person or business who has decided to use our services, or even potentially a third party. When we talk about our services, we mean any of our platforms, websites, or apps; or any features, products, APIs, texts, or similar things we use.

Why Are We Showing You This?

We value and respect your privacy. That is why we strive to only use your information when we think that doing so improves your experience in using our services. If you feel that we could improve in this mission in any way, or if you have a complaint or concern, please let us know by sending us your feedback to the following email address: legal@watchflare.app.

This privacy policy should be read along with our Terms of Service, posted at https://watchflare.app/terms.

3. Who We Share Your Information With and Why

We only share your information with third parties in the following ways and for the following purposes:

• Stripe, Inc. We share your email, credit cardholder name, and card number and related information to run the initial and subsequent payments for our services. This information is sent directly to Stripe. Your credit card information is stored with Stripe for subsequent billing; we do not retain your credit card information internally.
• Supabase. We share your account information, logs, and database records. Supabase is our infrastructure provider and hosts the database, Edge Functions, and User Auth records.
• OpenRouter. We explicitly route scraped data to OpenRouter to utilize large language models. The prompt data, instructions, and scraped content are sent strictly for processing. OpenRouter handles this under their own privacy agreements.
• Firecrawl. We use Firecrawl as our scraping engine. User requests to scrape Target URLs are routed through their infrastructure.
• Resend. We share email addresses and the contents of briefs to send transactional and notification emails.
• We will share all collected information to the extent necessary and as required by law or to comply with any legal obligations, including defense of our company.

4. Your Choices in What Information You Share

For users who do not register for our services or a business account, we will not collect that user’s personally identifying information—unless that personally identifiable information is information of a customer of one of our business clients, which is shared by that business through permission obtained by the business directly from that customer.

5. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-personally identifiable information includes general details about your device and connection (including the type of computer/mobile device, operating system, web-browser or other software, language preference, and hardware); general information from the app store or referring website; the date and time of visit or use; and, internet content provider information. We may collect this type of information.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We will retain your personally identifiable information until you request in writing that we delete or otherwise remove your personally identifiable information as part of our normal business processes. We may develop or amend a policy for deleting PII on a recurring timeline at some point in the future, but we do not currently have such a policy.

7. Where We Keep and Transfer Your Information

Our business is operated globally. Our primary servers are located in the Americas, particularly South America for Supabase, and North America for global edge functions. Due to the nature of internet communications, however, such data could pass through other countries as part of the transmission process.

Our processing of personal data from individuals is not targeted to reveal race; ethnicity; political, religious, or philosophical beliefs; trade union memberships; health; sexual activity; or, sexual orientation.
