2026/05/06
Overview
Sitemap Watch provides public sitemap tools and, over time, account-based features for monitoring sitemap health. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect information you submit directly, such as:
- Your email address when you create an account or contact us
- Messages you send through support or contact forms
- Account profile information needed to provide the service
Tool Usage Information
When you use public tools such as the sitemap finder, sitemap checker, or XML sitemap generator, we may process the URLs, sitemap files, or page lists you enter so we can return results.
Do not submit private, sensitive, or confidential URLs unless you are authorized to test them.
Technical Information
We may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, request logs, pages visited, error logs, and performance signals. This helps keep the site secure and reliable.
Payment Information
Sitemap Watch currently focuses on free public tools. Payment code remains in the product for future plans, but we do not collect payment card details directly. If paid features are enabled later, payment information will be processed by the selected payment provider.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide public sitemap tools and account features
- Find, check, generate, and display sitemap-related results
- Secure the site and prevent abuse
- Respond to support requests
- Improve product quality, performance, and content
- Send service-related messages when needed
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate Sitemap Watch, such as hosting, authentication, database, email, analytics, storage, payment, and security providers.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of Sitemap Watch, our users, or the public.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for security, legal, or operational reasons.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No online service is completely secure, so please use strong passwords and avoid submitting sensitive data through public tools.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information associated with your account, subject to legal and operational requirements.
Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy as Sitemap Watch changes. The latest version will always be available on this page.
