Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 30, 2026
The short version
Pulse is a status-page aggregator. We don't sell your data, run ads, or share with third-party data brokers. Your account email and the URLs you choose to monitor are stored encrypted on our infrastructure and used only to deliver the service.
What we collect
- Account info. Email, name, password (bcrypt hash), language preference.
- Subscriptions. Which third-party services (GitHub, Stripe, etc.) you've subscribed to in your dashboard.
- Custom monitors. URLs you set up to be polled. We hit those URLs from our infrastructure and store HTTP status + latency.
- Alert destinations. Slack/Discord webhook URLs you connect for notifications.
- Sessions. Cookie-based session tokens. No third-party trackers.
What we do NOT collect
- No advertising trackers, no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel.
- No browser fingerprinting.
- We never sell or share data with brokers.
Subprocessors
To run Pulse we share specific data with these vendors:
- Vercel — hosting. Sees request headers, IP, page paths.
- Turso — database. Sees encrypted records.
- Resend — transactional email (verification, password reset, alerts). Sees recipient email + message.
- cron-job.org — triggers our polling endpoint every 5 minutes via authenticated request. Doesn't see user data.
Your rights
- Delete your account from Settings → any time. We hard-delete records within 30 days.
- Cancel monitoring at any time by removing subscriptions/monitors.
- Request a data export by emailing the contact below.
Security
Data at rest is encrypted by Turso (SQLite-compatible TLS-protected storage). Data in transit uses TLS 1.3. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Sessions use httpOnly + Secure + SameSite cookies.
Children
Pulse is not intended for users under 18. If you believe a minor has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.

Pulse is currently an internal tool. This policy describes how the service is built; it is not legal advice. Final terms reviewed with counsel before any public release.
