Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Zero Development Solutions LLC ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Watchdog plugin for cPanel & WHM and our website.

2. Information We Collect

License Verification Data: When you validate a license, our API receives your server's hostname and IP address to verify subscription status via Stripe.

Payment Data: All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers. Stripe provides us with metadata such as your name, email, and subscription status.

Plugin Data: Watchdog operates entirely on your server. Configuration snapshots are stored only in /var/lib/server_watchdog on that server (readable by root only) and are never sent to us. If you configure the optional change-notification webhook, Watchdog sends your server hostname, the number of changed files and their categories to the URL you chose - never file contents.

3. How We Use Information

  • To verify and manage your software license.
  • To provide technical support when requested.
  • To notify you of critical security updates or version releases.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Communication between the plugin and our validation API is encrypted via SSL/TLS.

5. Third-Party Services

We use Stripe for payment processing and subscription management. Their privacy policy can be found at Stripe's official website. We do not sell or trade your personal information to third parties.
