Privacy Policy

Overview

OutageHQ is a free, real-time service status monitoring tool. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Data we collect

OutageHQ does not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII). We do not require accounts, logins, or registration of any kind.

• No names, email addresses, or contact information
• No passwords or authentication credentials
• No browsing history or tracking across websites
• No cookies for user identification or tracking

Outage reports

When you submit an outage report, we store only a hashed, anonymized identifier to prevent duplicate reports. This hash cannot be used to identify you personally.

Chrome extension

The OutageHQ Chrome extension displays the OutageHQ dashboard inside the extension popup. It does not collect, transmit, or store any user data. The extension uses the activeTab permission solely to function as a browser toolbar shortcut.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand general usage patterns such as page views and visit duration. These services may use cookies. No personal data is shared with these providers beyond standard anonymous analytics data.

Third-party services

OutageHQ may display advertisements through Google AdSense. These ads may use cookies to serve relevant content. We do not control the data practices of ad networks. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for more information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
