Privacy policy.
Last updated: 8 November 2026. This policy explains how SiteDownRadar processes information when you use our free website status checker.
What information is processed?
When you submit a public website address, our server processes the domain to perform an availability check. Individual check results are temporarily cached for approximately 45 seconds.
Public domain names, response categories and check times may appear in our recent activity feed for up to 24 hours. The feed does not include visitor IP addresses, and temporary storage may be cleared sooner.
Our server processes your network IP address for basic abuse-prevention limits. For this purpose, the application stores a salted hash rather than the raw IP address. Temporary rate-limit and cache files are periodically cleared. Our hosting provider may independently retain server access and security logs.
How the website checker works
SiteDownRadar connects from our web server to the public domain you provide and checks its HTTP response and timing information. The requested hostname is sent to DNS infrastructure and contacted as part of the check.
We do not intentionally store or inspect page content or submit account credentials. Please do not enter sensitive or confidential information into the checker.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
SiteDownRadar is preparing to use Google AdSense, but advertising is not currently active. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on visits to this website or other websites. Google and its advertising partners may use this information to personalise advertisements where permitted and to measure advertising performance. Visitors can manage personalised advertising through Google's My Ad Center at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
Before showing Google ads, SiteDownRadar will use a consent message for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Visitors will be able to consent, decline consent, or manage their advertising preferences. Once the consent system is active, visitors will also have a way to revisit their choices.
