Red Monitor is a desktop application that monitors subreddits for keyword mentions. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.
When you purchase a license, our payment processor (Stripe) collects your name, email address, and payment details. We receive your email address to deliver your license key. We do not store your payment card information.
Red Monitor sends your license key to our servers to verify it is valid and active. No other application data is transmitted during this process.
This website uses self-hosted, privacy-respecting analytics (Umami) to understand general traffic patterns. No personal identifiers are collected and no data is shared with third parties.
All of your monitoring data — searches, results, sentiment analysis — is stored locally on your device using SQLite. It never leaves your machine.
We retain your email address and associated license key for as long as your license is active, or until you request deletion. To request deletion of your data, email us at andrew@averillanalytics.com.
Red Monitor is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Red Monitor after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
