Privacy Policy — Is It Down Right Now?

Last updated: August 2026

Overview

Is It Down Right Now? ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect and how we use it when you use our website status checker.

Information we collect

• Websites you check — the domains you test are processed to return a status result and may be shown, anonymously, in the "recently checked" and "down right now" lists.
• Reports & ratings — if you submit a report or star rating, we store the message, optional name, a coarse country code, and the time. We do not store your IP address alongside it.
• Contact messages — if you use the contact form, we store the name, optional email, and message you provide so we can respond.

How we use it

Data is used only to operate the service — to return status results, display community reports and ratings, and respond to your messages. We do not sell your data.

Cookies & third parties

The site itself does not set tracking cookies. Some external resources (such as web fonts and website thumbnails) are loaded from third-party services, which may receive standard request information like your browser type and IP address as part of serving those resources.

Data retention

Reports, ratings, recent checks, and messages are kept only as long as needed to operate the service and are limited to recent entries.
