Overview
Aave DeFi Watcher ("the extension") is a read-only browser tool that monitors public Aave lending positions. We designed it to collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what information the extension handles and where it goes.
What we collect
The extension stores the following locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API:
- Wallet addresses you choose to track (and optional labels you assign)
- Cached position data (health factor, collateral, debt, timestamps)
- Your settings (poll interval, risk thresholds, theme, privacy mode)
- Health factor history for sparkline charts (up to 50 points per address)
- ENS names resolved from addresses you track
- RPC reliability statistics (success/fallback counts per network)
We do not operate a backend server. Nothing you enter is sent to us or stored on any server we control.
What leaves your device
The extension makes outbound network requests only to:
- Public blockchain RPC endpoints — to read on-chain Aave position data and resolve ENS names. These are standard JSON-RPC calls; no private keys or signatures are involved.
RPC providers may log requests according to their own policies. We use well-known public endpoints (e.g. LlamaRPC, PublicNode, chain-native RPCs). We do not send your data to analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
What we do not collect
- Private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials
- Personal identity information (name, email, phone)
- Browsing history outside the extension
- Analytics or usage telemetry
- Financial account numbers or payment information
Wallet connection
The extension does not connect to MetaMask, WalletConnect, or any wallet provider. You paste public addresses manually. The extension cannot initiate transactions or access funds.
Notifications
If you receive a risk alert, it is generated locally by the extension based on cached data. Notification content (health factor, label) is shown by your operating system. We do not receive notification events.
Data retention & deletion
All data persists in your browser until you remove it. You can delete individual addresses in
Settings, or uninstall the extension to remove all stored data. Uninstalling clears
chrome.storage.local entries associated with the extension.
Third parties
The extension is not affiliated with Aave Labs. On-chain data is read from Aave smart contracts via public RPC infrastructure operated by third parties. We are not responsible for those providers' availability or logging practices.
Children
The extension is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the extension evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
