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.
