A quick overview of what we handle and what we do not ask for.
We use a small amount of information to operate, deliver, protect, and improve OutageHQ. Report submissions help provide useful community context, while aggregate usage helps us understand the overall experience.
When you submit an outage report, we handle the service, selected issue type, and submission time. Limited technical checks may be applied to reduce duplicate or abusive submissions. Individual reports are not displayed in a way intended to identify you.
We may measure aggregate usage, such as page views and general device or browser information, to understand how OutageHQ is used. We may also measure aggregate use of embedded status widgets to improve their usefulness and performance.
If advertising is enabled, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Consent choices are provided where required.
You can use the site without creating an account. Where consent choices are available, you can use them to control optional advertising technologies. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
