Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

• Account information: your email address, your name if you give it, and sign-in details. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider, Clerk.
• Domain information: the domain names you add, and the registrar, expiration date, and renewal price we detect or you enter.
• Billing information: payments are handled by Stripe. We receive your plan, subscription status, and a customer ID. We never see or store your full card number.
• Email: we send you renewal reminders and account messages. We use Resend to send them.
• Usage totals: we keep simple counts of how many people visit our home page, open our sign-up page, and subscribe. These are totals, not profiles of individual visitors.
• Technical data: like most websites, our server and hosting provider may keep standard logs that include IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. To limit repeated requests we briefly keep IP addresses in memory, and we do not save them.

2. How we use it

• To run the Service: look up your domains, show their dates and prices, and send reminders before they renew.
• To compare prices and suggest cheaper registrars.
• To take payment for paid plans and manage your subscription.
• To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and fix problems.
• To understand overall use of the Service and improve it.
• To answer your messages and meet legal requirements.

3. Domain lookups

When you add a domain, we ask the public domain registration system (called RDAP) for its registrar and expiration date. The request contains the domain name only, not your account information.

4. Cookies and similar technology

Our sign-in provider uses cookies to keep you signed in. Stripe may set cookies on its own payment pages. Our visit counter uses a small flag stored in your browser for the current session so that reloading a page is not counted twice. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers.

5. Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service, and only what they need to do so:

• Clerk, for sign-in and account management.
• Stripe, for payments and subscriptions.
• Resend, for sending email.
• Our hosting provider, which stores and serves the Service.

6. No selling of your information

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a sale or transfer of our business, in which case we will tell you.

7. How long we keep it

We keep your account and domain information while your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your domain list and account data within a reasonable time. Some records may remain for a while where we need them for legal, tax, or accounting reasons, and our providers, such as Stripe, keep certain records under their own policies. Backups may take a short additional time to clear.

8. Your choices and rights

You can see and change your domains in the app, cancel your plan under Manage billing, and ask us to delete your account. To ask for a copy of your information, a correction, or deletion, email support@renewatcher.com.

Depending on where you live, such as California or the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or object to some uses of it. We will respond as the law requires.

9. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and trusted providers for sign-in and payments. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Service is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Where your information is processed

Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be transferred to places with different data protection laws than where you live.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.

13. Contact
