Privacy policy

Last updated 11 September 2026.

Vivere is a monitoring service operated by its owner (contact: hello@vivere.dev). This page explains what data the service keeps and why, in plain words.

What we store

• Account data: your email address and a hashed password. We never store the password itself.
• Monitors: the names, schedules, URLs and settings you enter.
• Pings and checks: the time of each ping, the IP address and user agent it came from, any text you send as the run log, and the results of HTTP checks we make on your behalf.
• Alert channels: the email addresses, webhook URLs, chat tokens and identifiers you add so we can deliver alerts. Treat these as secrets; we store them encrypted at rest at the disk level and never display secrets back in full.
• Billing: if you buy a plan, our merchant of record (Polar) handles payment and sends us your customer id, plan and subscription status. We do not receive card numbers.
• Server logs: request logs with IP addresses, kept for up to 30 days for security and debugging.
• Site statistics: daily counts of page views on the public pages. See below.

How we count visits

We measure the public marketing and documentation pages so we know which ones are worth writing. It is done by this server, not by a third party: no analytics script is served, nothing is loaded from another domain, and no data about your visit leaves this machine.

What is kept is a daily count per page, per referring site and per campaign tag in the link you followed. Your IP address and user agent are not stored. To count people rather than requests, we derive a key from the date, your IP address and your user agent using a keyed hash with a secret only this server holds; the key cannot be turned back into an address, it is different tomorrow, and the keys themselves are deleted after three days. The signed-in app, ping endpoints and the API are not counted at all.

What we do with it

Only run the service: evaluate schedules, send the alerts you configured, show you your history, and bill you if you chose a paid plan. We do not sell data, run advertising, or share data with third parties beyond the providers needed to operate (hosting, email delivery, payment processing).

Retention

Run and check history is pruned per plan. Deleting a monitor deletes its history. Deleting your account (email hello@vivere.dev) deletes everything within 30 days, except billing records we must keep for tax purposes.

Cookies

Four cookies, all first-party. Three are strictly necessary: a session cookie so you stay logged in, a CSRF token that protects forms, and a short-lived cookie that carries a confirmation message across a redirect.

The fourth is set only if you arrive from a link that says where it came from — a referring site, or a utm_source or utm_campaign tag. It holds that one label for up to 30 days so that if you create an account later we know which article or post brought you. It contains no identifier for you, it is never read by anyone but this server, it is not shared, and it is deleted the moment you sign up. There are no third-party cookies and no advertising or analytics scripts of any kind.

Your rights

You can export or delete your data by emailing hello@vivere.dev from your account address. If you are in the EU, UK or another jurisdiction with data-protection rights, those rights apply and we will honour them.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date above changes and existing users are emailed.
