This privacy policy describes how SiteStatus.org uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through SiteStatus.org, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Like most website operators, SiteStatus.org collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. SiteStatus.org’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SiteStatus.org’s visitors use its website.
SiteStatus.org also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. SiteStatus.org does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to SiteStatus.org choose to interact with SiteStatus.org in ways that require SiteStatus.org to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SiteStatus.org gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
In each case, SiteStatus.org collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SiteStatus.org. SiteStatus.org does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
All of the information that is collected on SiteStatus.org will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
SiteStatus.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to the project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on SiteStatus.org’s behalf or to provide services available through SiteStatus.org, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using SiteStatus.org, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
SiteStatus.org will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, SiteStatus.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when SiteStatus.org believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of SiteStatus.org, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of SiteStatus.org and have supplied your email address, SiteStatus.org may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with SiteStatus.org. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. SiteStatus.org takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
We will not use the information you provide when you register for an account, attend our events, or receive newsletters.
We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.
We would like to send you email marketing communication which may be of interest to you from time to time. If you have consented to marketing, you may opt out later.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
We rely on one or more of the following processing conditions:
You have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all your personal information, please follow the instructions at the end of this section.
We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to, for the success of the SiteStatus.org and the programs that support SiteStatus.org. We keep contact information (such as mailing list information) until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems. If you choose to unsubscribe from a mailing list, we may keep certain limited information about you so that we may honor your request.
SiteStatus.org will not delete personal data from logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archives of the SiteStatus.org.
When deletion is requested or otherwise required, we will anonymise the data of data subjects and remove their information from publicly accessible sites if the deletion of data would break essential systems or damage the logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archival records of the SiteStatus.org.
You may have certain rights under data protection law in relation to the personal information we hold about you. In particular, you may have a right to:
Our website may contain links to other websites provided by third parties not under our control. When following a link and providing information to a 3rd-party website, please be aware that we are not responsible for the data provided to that third party. This privacy policy only applies to the SiteStatus.org website, so when you visit other websites, even when you click on a link posted on SiteStatus.org, you should read their own privacy policies.
SiteStatus.org may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, SiteStatus.org may reveal how many times a particular page was visited or report on which websites are the most popular, based on the data gathered.

Additionally, information about how you use our website is collected automatically using “cookies”.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, SiteStatus.org may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at SiteStatus.org’s sole discretion. SiteStatus.org encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
