Privacy Policy — Pagewatch
Last updated: 29 September 2026
This policy explains what happens to data when you use Pagewatch (the “Extension”), a Chrome extension published by Cronomz — “we”, “us”.
Contact: cronomzstudio@gmail.com
Pagewatch has no accounts and no servers of ours. Your list of watched pages and everything it saves about them stay in your own browser. The Extension contacts only the websites you ask it to watch and, if you buy Pro, Lemon Squeezy, the company that sells Pro licenses for us. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.
1. The short version
| Do you collect my browsing history? | No. Pagewatch only knows the addresses you add to it yourself. |
| Where is my data stored? | In your browser’s local extension storage, on your computer. We never receive a copy. |
| What leaves my computer? | Visits to the pages you chose to watch (section 3), and, only for Pro, license checks with Lemon Squeezy (section 5). Nothing else. |
| Do you run analytics or crash reporting? | No. There is no analytics, telemetry, advertising or crash-reporting code in the Extension. |
| Do you sell my data? | No. We never sell, rent or share personal data. |
2. Data stored in your browser
Pagewatch saves the following in Chrome’s local storage for extensions (chrome.storage.local) on your computer:
- Your watched pages — each page’s address, the name you gave it, what part of it you watch, how often to check it, and when it was last checked or changed.
- Snapshots — the text of the part of each page you watch, as it looked at up to 20 recent checks, so Pagewatch can show you what changed.
- Site icons — a small copy of each watched site’s icon, so the list is easy to read.
- Your settings — notifications on or off, and your default check frequency.
- Your Pro license, if you have one — the license key, the activation ID Lemon Squeezy gives this browser, and the name and email address on the purchase, which Lemon Squeezy returns when the key is activated.
This data is never sent to us. It is not synced to other computers.
How to delete it: delete a page from the dashboard to remove it and its snapshots, or remove the Extension from Chrome (chrome://extensions → Pagewatch → Remove) to erase everything it stored.
3. The websites you watch
To check a page, Pagewatch loads it the same way your browser would when you visit it:
- How often this happens is up to you: from once a day to every 5 minutes, or with Pro as often as every 30 seconds, and every 10 seconds while “Watch closely” is on. If a website says it is getting too many requests, Pagewatch waits before trying again.
- The request goes directly from your browser to that website, including the cookies you already have for it, so pages you are signed in to work as expected. The website sees an ordinary visit from your browser and handles it under its own privacy policy.
- For pages that build their content with JavaScript, Pagewatch opens the page in a minimized background window, lets it load, reads the text, and closes it. The website’s own scripts run during that visit, exactly as they would if you opened the page yourself.
- Pagewatch also downloads the website’s icon from that website.
- The text Pagewatch reads is compared and stored on your computer only (section 2).
Site access is opt-in. Pagewatch asks for permission to read each website at the moment you add it, and cannot read sites you have not allowed. You can remove access at any time in chrome://extensions → Pagewatch → Details → Site access.
4. The page you have open
When you click the Pagewatch button, Chrome lets the Extension read the page in your current tab (Chrome’s “active tab” permission). Pagewatch uses this only to:
- look for the product price and stock information that shops publish for search engines, so it can offer “Watch price & stock”, and
- show the element picker when you choose “Pick a part”.
This happens on your computer. Nothing about the page is sent anywhere, and nothing is kept unless you choose to watch it.
5. Pagewatch Pro and Lemon Squeezy
Pagewatch Pro is sold by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record: it runs the checkout, processes your payment, handles sales tax and sends your receipt and license key. Your payment details go only to Lemon Squeezy and its payment processors; we never see them. Lemon Squeezy’s handling of your data is governed by the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy.
As the seller, we can see the order details Lemon Squeezy shows us — such as your name, email address, country, the product and the amount paid. We use them only to deliver your license, answer support requests and handle refunds, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
After you pay, the Activate Pagewatch Pro button (on the confirmation screen and in your receipt email) opens cronomz.com/pagewatch/activate with your license key in the part of the link after #. Browsers never send that part to the website, so our site never receives your key. Pagewatch reads it on that one page, removes it from the address bar, and activates it for you.
If you activate Pro, Pagewatch contacts Lemon Squeezy’s license service:
- When you activate a key, it sends the key and a label for this browser, such as “Pagewatch on Windows (2026-09-29)”.
- About every three days, it checks that the key is still valid, sending the key and this browser’s activation ID.
- When you choose “Remove from this computer”, it sends the key and activation ID so the activation can be used elsewhere.
As with any web request, Lemon Squeezy can see your IP address when these checks happen. If you never buy Pro, Pagewatch never contacts Lemon Squeezy.
6. Permissions and why they are needed
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Access to sites you choose | To check the pages you add. Asked for per site, only when you add one. |

| Reading cronomz.com/pagewatch/activate | To turn Pro on automatically when you click the activation button after buying (section 5). Pagewatch reads no other page on our site. |
| Storage, unlimited storage | To keep your list, snapshots and settings on your computer. |
| Alarms | To run checks on the schedule you set. |
| Notifications | To show a desktop alert when a page changes. You can turn these off in Settings. |

| Offscreen documents | To read the text of a downloaded page inside the Extension. |
| Favicon | To show website icons from Chrome’s icon cache. |
7. What we do not do
- We do not operate any server that receives your data, and we do not collect your browsing history.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, attribution or crash-reporting code, and the Extension does not load code from the internet.
- We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we do not use it for advertising or creditworthiness.
- We do not let anyone other than you read the pages you watch or the snapshots Pagewatch saves.
Pagewatch’s use of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete and object to the processing of your personal data. Because Pagewatch keeps everything on your computer, you can view and delete that data yourself (section 2). For purchase records, write to us and we will help — note that Lemon Squeezy may need to keep some order records for tax and accounting law. If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you may complain to your local data protection authority.
9. Children
Pagewatch is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. Changes to this policy
If Pagewatch starts handling data differently, this policy is updated before that version is released, and the “Last updated” date above changes with it.
