Watchdog
Security & Trust

How Watchdog protects your account and data.

The essentials: account security, payments, privacy, accessibility and the quality of the property data you see.

We do not claim certifications we have not completed. Security and accessibility claims are published only when the work has been validated.

Account protection

Protected tools and data are available only to the accounts and plans that have access.

Privacy
