AI Insights — what changed
  • Effective date changed from January 1 to March 1
  • New section 6.2 added: customer data may be processed outside the EU
  • Section 4.3 reworded: data retention period extended from 30 to 90 days

How it works

  1. Add the URL

    A vendor's privacy policy, terms of service, DPA, acceptable-use policy, or subprocessor list.

  2. Scope to the policy text

    If the page has cookie banners or rotating footers, add a CSS selector so only the policy body is compared.

  3. Get the AI summary

    When the text changes, you get an email alert, and the AI summary in your dashboard lists what was added, removed, or reworded — so legal can triage it quickly.

You choose which alerts each URL sends — downtime, content changes, slow responses — and we email you when they happen.

What you can track

  • Vendor privacy policy changes (data sharing, residency, opt-outs)
  • Terms of service rewording (fees, liability, IP ownership)
  • DPA, subprocessor list, and acceptable-use policy updates
  • Effective-date changes, often the first sign of a bigger update
  • New sections or clauses added

Vendors don't always email you

Many companies are only required to post changes, not to notify every customer directly, and notice emails are easy to miss. Subprocessor lists in particular change often and quietly.

Watching the policy pages directly gives you a dated record of every change, which helps with vendor reviews, SOC 2 and GDPR evidence, and contract renewals.

Track your own policies too

Teams also watch their own published legal pages to catch accidental edits from CMS changes or deploys — so the policy on your site always matches the one legal approved.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the change is meaningful and not just formatting?

Site Monitor compares the rendered text, so whitespace-only changes don't trigger alerts. Scope the watch to the policy body with a CSS selector to ignore banners and footers.

Can I see what changed?

Your dashboard shows an AI summary of each significant change and when it happened. There's no side-by-side text diff; paid plans keep screenshot history so you can compare how the page looked over time.

What is an AI change summary?

When a page changes significantly, Site Monitor uses AI to describe in plain English what was added, removed, or reworded. Summaries appear in the site's dashboard — your email alert links straight there. The Free plan includes 2 AI summaries a month; paid plans include more.

Does it work on pages that load content with JavaScript?

Yes. Site Monitor can render the page in a headless browser before fingerprinting it, so content injected by JavaScript is included in the comparison.

How many vendor policies can I watch for free?

Yes. The Free plan covers 10 URLs checked every hour, with 2 AI change summaries a month — no credit card required. Upgrade only if you need faster checks, more URLs, or more AI summaries.

How often does Site Monitor check a page?

Free checks every hour. Paid plans check as often as every 5 minutes, and you can set the interval per URL.
