Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how IsDownOrOnline.com ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit our website (the "Service"). We've tried to keep it plain and honest. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you provide

The core feature of this site — checking whether a domain is online — only requires the website address you type in. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not request your name, email, or other personal details to use the checker. If you choose to email us through the contact page, we will receive whatever information you include in that message.

Information collected automatically

Like virtually all websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically record certain technical information when you visit, which may include:

• Your IP address and approximate, non-precise location (such as country or region).
• Your browser type, device type, operating system, and screen size.
• The pages you view, the domains you check, referring links, and timestamps.

We use this information to operate the Service, understand how it's used, prevent abuse, and improve performance. We also keep aggregate, non-personal records of which domains have been checked (for example, to power the "Recent" and "Popular" status lists on our homepage). These lists reflect the domains looked up, not the identities of the people who looked them up.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to make the site work, remember preferences, measure traffic, and — where applicable — serve and personalize advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Service. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit and how you arrived, and reports it to us in aggregate. You can learn more, and opt out across sites, using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense and other advertising partners to keep the Service free.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

Advertising partners may have their own privacy policies governing the data they collect. We encourage you to review them.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service (such as analytics and advertising partners described above), when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Service.

Data retention

We retain technical and aggregate usage data for as long as needed to operate and improve the Service. Analytics and advertising partners retain data according to their own policies.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because we don't require accounts and don't tie checks to your identity, the personal data we directly hold is minimal. To make a request or ask a question, contact us via the contact page.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

International visitors

We operate the Service from the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, your information may be processed in countries whose data-protection laws differ from those in your own.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page, so please check back periodically.
