Privacy
vigil is an unofficial change tracker. This page says what data about you the site has and why.
The site
- No ads, no counters, no third-party scripts: the pages load nothing from other hosts.
- The server keeps a log of requests: IP address, time, page address, response code, the page you came from (Referer) and the browser (User-Agent). It is used to run the server and for visit statistics and is kept for up to 3 years.
- The vigil_lang cookie keeps the chosen language for a year.
The account
- Sign-up and sign-in are with Google. From Google we get only your e-mail address and the fact that Google confirmed it; we ask for nothing else from your Google account.
- We keep: your e-mail address, the dates of sign-up, of your consent to the terms and of your last sign-in, the language, your subscriptions, your Telegram chat and its name if you link it, and the log of your actions in the account (sign-up, sign-in, subscription changes, Telegram link, notifications sent). This is kept while the account exists.
- Account cookies: vigil_sid — the sign-in session, 30 days; vigil_oauth — only during sign-in with Google, 10 minutes.
- This data is used only for the notifications and to run the account. We do not sell it, do not share it with third parties and do not use it for advertising.
Notifications
- E-mails are sent by our server from vigil@ethdns.com; every e-mail has a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Telegram messages go through the Telegram Bot API; Telegram's own policy applies to them.
Deletion and questions
- You can unsubscribe in the account or with the link in an e-mail; unlink Telegram in the account or with /stop to the bot.
- To delete the account with all its subscriptions and log, write to vigil@ethdns.com from the account's address. Deleted data leaves the backups within three months.
- Questions: vigil@ethdns.com.
