Know when the fine print changes.
Companies rewrite their policies quietly. An arbitration clause appears, a data-sharing partner slips in, a price floor moves. PolicyWatch keeps watch and shows you exactly what changed, word by word.
§ 12 · Dispute resolution
Disputes may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Fees for the Service are described in the Order Form and are non-refundable except as required by law.
How it works
Three moves, then it just watches.
Point it at a page
Paste the URL of a privacy policy, terms of service, or pricing page and pick a cadence, anywhere from every 15 minutes to monthly. The fetcher is hardened against being turned into a weapon.
It reads past the noise
Every check strips navigation, banners, and rotating timestamps, then keeps a normalized snapshot of the words that actually govern you. Redesigns don't trigger false alarms.
You see the redline
When substance changes you get the full comparison: removed, added, moved, and renamed, plus a deterministic importance score you can audit line by line.
Built to be trusted
Engineering you can read, not just run.
The raw diff is the source of truth
An optional AI summary can explain a change in plain English, but the line-by-line comparison is always one scroll away. You never have to trust an interpretation.
Importance you can audit
Changes are scored by a documented formula: how much of the document moved, and whether it touches arbitration, fees, data sharing, or termination. No black box.
Runs entirely on your machines
Open source, self-hosted, fully functional with zero API keys: Postgres, Redis, and a local mail inbox are all it needs.
Careful with the web
The fetcher identifies itself honestly, paces per-host, sends conditional requests, and carries a five-layer SSRF defense, with each layer named for the bypass it blocks.
Built by
One engineer, end to end.
The documents that govern you are watching nobody. Return the favor.
