Privacy Policy — AIWatch for Claude Code

Claude Code plugin · Last updated: July 2026

The AIWatch Claude Code plugin is designed to collect no personal data. This policy explains exactly what it does and does not do.

This policy covers the Claude Code plugin only. It is separate from the ai-watch.dev website policy: unlike the website, the plugin uses no cookies and no analytics SDK, and it reads none of your code or files.

1. What the plugin does

The background monitor polls the public AIWatch status API (aiwatch-worker.p2c2kbf.workers.dev) on an interval (approximately every 60 seconds) and notifies you when a monitored AI service goes down or recovers.
The /aiwatch command makes one request to the same public API to show which AI services are currently degraded or down, with each incident and a suggested alternative.
The monitor keeps the most recent poll result in a temporary local file so it can detect a change between polls. This contains only public service-status data — never anything about you.

2. What the plugin does NOT do

It does not read, access, or transmit your code, files, prompts, or conversations. It only issues outbound GET requests to the AIWatch status API.
It does not collect your identity, IP-linked profile, cookies, or any personally identifiable information.
It uses no cookies, no analytics SDK, no advertising, no fingerprinting, and no third-party trackers, and does not execute remote code.

3. Data the plugin transmits

The plugin communicates with exactly one server — the public AIWatch API — and sends only outbound status requests (GET) that carry no personal data and no identifier. It sends nothing else, and it has no reporting or upload feature.

4. Anonymous usage measurement

To gauge adoption, the AIWatch server counts aggregate request volume to the plugin's endpoints (how many monitor polls and /aiwatch briefings arrive per day). This is an anonymous count only — no identifier, account, or per-user record is stored, and individual users cannot be distinguished. It is the same anonymous, aggregate measurement used for the rest of the public API.

5. Data storage & retention

On your device: a small temporary file holding the last public status poll (used only to detect changes between polls) lives in your system's temp directory and is removed automatically when the monitor stops (it is cleaned up on exit).
On the server: only the anonymous per-day aggregate request counts described above, retained short-term and used only in aggregate. They are not linked to you.

6. Configuration

The plugin is open source. If you prefer, you can point it at your own AIWatch deployment with the AIWATCH_BASE environment variable, in which case it talks only to your server and not to ai-watch.dev.

7. Third-party services

The plugin talks to only the AIWatch API (served via Cloudflare Workers) and shares nothing with any other party. There are no analytics or advertising SDKs.

8. Your rights

Because the plugin collects no personally identifiable information, there is no personal profile to access or delete. Removing the plugin removes the local temporary file described above.

9. Children's privacy

The plugin is not directed to, and does not knowingly collect information from, children under the age of 14.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the plugin's practices change; the "Last updated" date above will reflect any revision.
