Last updated: January 21, 2026
Introduction
The Monitope Chrome Extension ("the Extension") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in the Extension.
The Extension is provided as part of the Monitope service. Please also review our Monitope Privacy Policy.

1.2 Information the Extension Does NOT Collect
- Browsing history
- Content of non-monitored pages

3. Data Transmission
The Extension only sends data to the following server:

4. Local Check Feature
When the local check feature is enabled, the Extension checks monitored page content within your browser.
- Only retrieves text from elements you've configured to monitor

Removing the Extension from your browser automatically deletes locally stored data.
