Privacy Policy
Effective June 22, 2026
AIDownCheck("we," "us") is an independent AI status service at aidowncheck.com. We built it to need as little of your data as possible. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We do not sell your personal information.
The short version
- No accounts are required to use the Service.
- We use no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics that profile you.
- We do not store your IP address.
- Your theme and view preferences stay on your device.
Information we collect
Approximate, non-identifying location. When your browser runs a reachability check against a monitored service, it may send us the result (whether the service responded, and how long it took). Our hosting provider attaches an approximate, coarse location derived from your connection — your country, and sometimes region or city — to that request. We use this only to build aggregate, anonymous per-region availability statistics. We do not store your IP address, and these measurements are not linked to your identity.
Technical request data. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider processes standard request information (such as browser type and timestamps) to deliver and secure the site.
On-device storage.We use your browser's local storage to remember preferences such as your light/dark theme and status filters. This data lives on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Optional contact. If we offer outage alerts and you choose to provide an email address, we will use it only to send the alerts you requested. This feature is not active at the time of this policy; we will update this policy before collecting any such data.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the Service.
- To produce aggregate, anonymous statistics about regional service availability and performance.
- To understand and improve how the Service works.
We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf, including our hosting and content-delivery provider (Vercel), which operates the servers and edge network that deliver the site and provide the coarse geolocation described above. These providers are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
Cookies
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We use only functional on-device storage necessary for the site to work and to remember your preferences.
Data retention
Aggregate, anonymous availability measurements may be retained indefinitely to power historical status and reliability features, because they do not identify you. Any optional contact information you provide will be kept only as long as needed to deliver the service you requested or until you ask us to delete it.
Your choices and rights
Because we do not maintain accounts or store identifying information by default, there is generally no personal profile to access or delete. Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information and to opt out of its sale (we do not sell it). You can also clear your browser's local storage at any time. To make a request or ask a question, use our contact form.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
International users
The Service is operated from, and data is processed in, the United States and other locations where our providers operate. By using the Service you understand your information may be processed in those locations.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above, and your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
