How we handle your information
Information We Collect
PCI Watch does not collect personal information from visitors.
We do not require user accounts, and we do not use cookies for tracking purposes.
Push Notifications
If you choose to subscribe to push notifications, we store:
- A randomly-generated subscription ID (created by your browser)
- Technical push endpoint URL (provided by your browser vendor)
- Encryption keys (for secure message delivery)
- Your notification preferences (which content types you want alerts for)
No personal information is required or collected. Push subscriptions are completely anonymous - we do not collect your name, email address, or any identifying information.
Subscription data is stored on our server and in your browser's local storage. You can unsubscribe at any time from the Notifications settings page, which removes your subscription from our server.
