Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Introduction

AlertKick ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our alert management and monitoring services.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Name and contact information (email address, phone number)
  • Company information and job title
  • Account credentials and preferences
  • Communication records and support interactions

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information, including:

  • Server monitoring data and system metrics
  • Usage patterns and service interactions
  • IP addresses and device information
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • Providing and maintaining our monitoring services
  • Processing alerts and notifications
  • Improving our services and user experience
  • Communicating with you about service updates
  • Complying with legal obligations

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent
  • To comply with legal requirements
  • To protect our rights and prevent fraud
  • With trusted service providers who assist in our operations

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption, secure data transmission, and regular security assessments.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and review your personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Object to processing of your personal information
  • Data portability

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, and provide personalized content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Monitoring and event data is retained according to the retention period of your plan and then removed.

You can delete your account and its data yourself at any time from your account settings. Account deletion removes your personal information, monitoring configuration, and stored event data from our systems, subject only to records we are legally required to keep (such as billing records).

Third-Party Integrations (Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp)

When you connect a messaging integration, we store the credentials and identifiers needed to deliver alerts to that service - for Slack, this means the workspace ID, bot token, and channel identifiers. When a workspace member acknowledges or resolves an alert from Slack, or converses with the bot, we look up that member's email address to attribute the action to the matching AlertKick user in your audit trail; emails are used only for this matching. When the bot is @-mentioned in a thread, it reads that thread's replies to answer with context - it does not read or store other messages.

Integration data is used only to deliver and respond to your alerts. It is deactivated immediately when you disconnect the integration or uninstall the app from your workspace, and removed entirely when you delete your account. We never use integration data for advertising and never share it with third parties.

Sub-processors

We use a small number of service providers to operate AlertKick. Each processes data only as needed to provide its function:

  • Hetzner Online GmbH - infrastructure hosting (dedicated servers, EU and US)
  • Amazon Web Services - AI inference via Amazon Bedrock (eu-west-1); inputs and outputs are not used to train models
  • Stripe - payment processing
  • Twilio - SMS and WhatsApp alert delivery
  • Cloudflare - DNS, TLS, and edge network
  • Slack, Telegram - alert delivery to messaging integrations you connect

We will update this list when providers change. Questions about sub-processors can be sent to privacy [at] alertkick [dot] com .

International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
