Pulse Stack™ (operated by Pulse Stack™ Limited) maintains a comprehensive privacy framework across our monitoring platform at pulsestack.co.uk, including our API services and mobile applications. We believe transparency about data handling builds trust, which is why we've created this straightforward privacy policy.
This policy governs all interactions with our uptime monitoring services, whether you're accessing our web platform, using our mobile apps, or integrating with our API endpoints. For enterprise clients requiring specific data processing agreements, we provide GDPR-compliant contracts upon request.
We collect only the information necessary to deliver reliable monitoring services and improve your experience. Data collection happens through two primary channels: information you directly provide and data we automatically capture during service operation.
Account Registration Details: When establishing your Pulse Stack™ account, we require essential identifiers including your full name, email address, and secure password. This minimal dataset enables account creation and service access.
Payment and Subscription Data: Upgrading to premium monitoring plans requires additional information such as billing addresses, payment card details, and transaction records. This data facilitates payment processing and subscription management.
Service Credentials: Depending on your monitoring requirements, you may provide server access credentials (SSH, FTP, SFTP) enabling our systems to perform comprehensive health checks on your infrastructure.
Support Communications: Customer service interactions, survey responses, and feedback submissions help us understand user needs and resolve technical issues effectively.
Our platform automatically captures technical information to ensure optimal service delivery and security monitoring.
System Logs: Standard web server information including IP addresses, browser specifications, device identifiers, language settings, referrer pages, access timestamps, and network details. This data supports troubleshooting and security analysis.
Platform Usage Analytics: We track feature utilisation, page navigation patterns, and service interaction frequencies. These insights drive product development and user experience optimisation.
Geographic Information: IP-based location estimation helps us understand global usage patterns and optimise service delivery across different regions.
Tracking Technologies: Cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies enable session management, preference storage, and marketing campaign effectiveness measurement across our platform ecosystem.
We process your data for specific, legitimate business purposes that directly benefit your monitoring experience:
Data retention periods align with business necessity and legal requirements, ensuring we maintain information only as long as needed for stated purposes.
Pulse Stack™ implements strict controls around data sharing, limiting access to essential business operations and legal requirements.
We may share information with trusted service providers who assist with payment processing, email delivery, analytics, and technical infrastructure. These partners operate under contractual obligations to protect your data according to our privacy standards.
Legal compliance may require disclosure to government authorities, courts, or regulatory bodies when mandated by valid legal processes. We evaluate all such requests carefully and provide only the minimum information required.
Business transactions such as mergers or acquisitions could involve data transfer, but any successor organisation would remain bound by this privacy policy's commitments.
Protecting your information requires comprehensive security measures across technical, administrative, and physical domains.
Technical safeguards include encryption for data transmission and storage, access controls limiting employee data exposure, regular security audits, and automated threat detection systems.
Administrative protocols ensure staff receive privacy training, follow data handling procedures, and maintain appropriate access levels based on job responsibilities.
While we implement industry-standard protections, no system offers absolute security. We continuously monitor and improve our security posture whilst being transparent about potential risks inherent in digital services.
“The simplest and most reliable monitoring tool we’ve used. Setup took less than a minute and we’ve never missed an outage since.”
You maintain significant control over personal information within our platform, with rights that vary based on your jurisdiction:

Questions about this privacy policy or our data practices should be directed to our privacy team at privacy@pulsestack.co.uk. We respond to inquiries promptly and work to resolve any concerns about information handling.
This privacy policy updates periodically to reflect service changes, legal developments, and evolving privacy practices. Significant modifications will be communicated through email notifications and platform announcements, with continued service usage indicating acceptance of updated terms.
For users of our status page subscription features, additional privacy considerations apply to notification preferences and public status information display, which can be configured through your account settings.
