Policies change.
You need to know when.
A vendor updates their data processing terms. A partner changes their privacy policy. A regulator publishes new guidance. If your team finds out weeks later during a manual review, the exposure window is already open. Spider crawls those pages reliably, even behind bot protection, and delivers clean content your pipeline can hash and compare against previous versions.
Crawl, compare, react
Set up a scheduled job that calls Spider's crawl API on your target URLs. Spider returns clean content your pipeline can hash and compare against stored versions. When a hash changes, you know the page changed.
Schedule
Call Spider's crawl API on a cron job. Daily, weekly, or any interval your scheduler supports.
Compare
Hash the returned content and compare against your stored version. A different hash means the page changed.
Alert
When a change is detected, trigger your notification pipeline. Spider can also deliver content via webhook on every crawl.
What teams monitor
Terms of service
Track changes to vendor agreements, SaaS terms, and data processing addendums. Know when a clause changes before it affects your obligations.
Privacy policies
Monitor partner and vendor privacy policies for changes to data handling, retention periods, and third-party sharing clauses.
Regulatory guidance
Track updates from regulators, standards bodies, and industry groups. New guidance pages, updated compliance frameworks, and enforcement actions.
Competitor policy pages
Watch competitor pricing pages, feature lists, and policy documents. Useful for competitive analysis and ensuring your own terms remain competitive.
Version snapshots
Store each crawl result with a timestamp on your side. Build a complete version history for audit trails, dispute resolution, or regulatory submissions.
Webhook delivery
Spider sends crawled content to your webhook endpoint on every crawl. Pipe it to Slack, email, or your compliance tool for downstream processing.
