Privacy Policy

At IsItDownRightNow (accessible from https://isitdownrightnow.live), we design our systems from the ground up to collect as little personal data as technically feasible. We operate on a strict privacy-by-architecture model:

• No Account Required: You never need to register, create a username, or supply an email address to use our service.
• No Sale of Data: We do not monetize, rent, trade, or sell user search logs, IP addresses, or usage data to third-party data brokers or advertisers.
• Zero Cross-Site Tracking: We do not deploy intrusive behavioral advertising pixels, fingerprinting scripts, or persistent tracking cookies.

When you submit a URL or domain name (such as “example.com”) into our status checker:

• Target Domain Information: Our servers receive the domain string solely to execute the HTTP diagnostic probe against the requested website. This target domain name is temporarily processed in memory to fetch HTTP status codes, latency, and headers.
• Short-Lived Memory Caching: To protect public websites from excessive load and to optimize server performance, status check results may be cached in an in-memory datastore for a brief period (e.g., 60 seconds). These cached records contain only public server metrics and are never associated with your personal IP address or device.

Like all web servers, our edge infrastructure automatically receives standard technical request metadata required to fulfill network connections. This telemetry includes:

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type and operating system user-agent
• Date and timestamp of the HTTP request
• Referring URL and requested resource path

Data Retention & Anonymization: Server access logs are retained for a rolling maximum of 72 hours solely for DDoS mitigation, bot detection, and rate-limiting enforcement. Following this operational window, IP addresses in aggregate metrics are truncated or irreversibly purged.

We minimize the use of client-side storage to strictly necessary functional elements:

• Browser LocalStorage: If you check website statuses, your recent domain history may be stored locally inside your own browser's storage for convenience. This data remains on your physical device and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
• Essential Security Cookies: Our edge CDN providers may set temporary, anonymous session cookies strictly required to prevent malicious automated bot attacks and ensure connection integrity.

To provide high availability and fast response times worldwide, we utilize trusted cloud infrastructure partners:

• Cloud Edge & CDN Providers: Our web applications are routed through distributed cloud providers that filter volumetric cyberattacks and cache static assets geographically close to you.
• Public DNS Resolvers: Outbound diagnostic queries resolve domain names using privacy-focused resolvers that adhere to strict zero-logging standards.

Depending on your geographical jurisdiction (including the European Union, United Kingdom, and California), you maintain specific statutory rights regarding your personal information:

• The right to know what personal data is processed
• The right to request erasure of transient server logs
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights

Because IsItDownRightNow does not maintain user accounts or persistent identities, we do not hold identifiable records tied to names or emails. To exercise any data protection inquiry, please contact our privacy team at the email below.

All data transmission between your browser and our edge servers is protected with modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 encryption). We enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and robust Content Security Policies (CSP) to safeguard against man-in-the-middle attacks and malicious script injections.
