Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 3, 2026

Auto Refresh ("we", "us", or "our") is operated by Beacon Labs, a sole proprietorship based in India. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Chrome extension and cloud monitoring service (collectively, the "Service").

Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information necessary to provide the Service:

• Account information: Your email address, used for account creation, login, and sending monitoring alerts.
• Monitor configuration: The URLs you choose to monitor, the conditions you set (in text form), and your preferred check intervals.
• Page screenshots: For cloud-based monitors, our servers capture screenshots of the web pages you monitor. These screenshots are processed by our AI system to check your conditions and are not stored permanently after analysis.
• Usage data: Basic analytics about how you use the extension (features used, number of monitors created) to improve the Service. We do not track your general browsing activity.

How We Use Your Information

• To operate your page monitors and send you alerts when conditions are met.
• To process screenshots through AI analysis for vision-based monitoring.
• To send you email notifications about changes detected on your monitored pages.
• To improve the Service and fix technical issues.
• To communicate with you about your account or the Service.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party service providers for functions such as AI analysis, email delivery, cloud hosting, and payment processing. These providers only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their function. We do not store your payment card details — all payment data is handled directly by our payment processor.

Data Storage and Security

Your monitor data is stored in a secured database with industry-standard security practices. Page screenshots are processed in memory for AI analysis and are not retained permanently.

Data Retention

We retain your account and monitor data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or a specific monitor, the associated data is permanently removed from our systems. Monitor check logs are retained for up to 30 days for debugging purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Export your monitor configurations.

Cookies

Our website may use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
