Privacy Policy
Effective 2026-11-10
1. Information we collect
AI Status has no sign-up, login or forms, so it does not directly collect personal information such as names or email addresses. Only if you turn on outage alerts do we store the information described under "Outage alerts" below.
2. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 for visit statistics. It only runs if you choose "Allow" in the notice at the bottom of the page — before that, or if you choose "Decline", nothing is sent to Google and no GA cookies are set. Sent to Google: the page address and title, the previous page address (referrer), browser and device type, screen size, language, approximate location (country and city estimated from your IP — GA4 does not store the IP address itself), and the time and length of your visit. Names and email addresses are not sent, and Google signals and ad personalization are turned off. The recipient is Google LLC in the United States, so the data may be transferred to the US. Data is kept for 2 months and processed under Google's privacy policy. You can withdraw at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the page: GA stops right away, its _ga cookies are deleted, and you can choose again. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as "Decline" and show no notice (an explicit "Allow" in "Cookie settings" takes precedence). The Google Analytics opt-out add-on also blocks it. The site works the same either way.
3. Outage alerts
When you tap "Get outage alerts" and allow it in your browser, we store the notification address your browser creates (a push service endpoint), two encryption keys, and the time you subscribed. We do not store names, email addresses or IP addresses. Notifications are delivered through your browser vendor's push service (Google for Chrome, Microsoft for Edge, Mozilla for Firefox, Apple for Safari), and their content is encrypted so that service cannot read it. Deletion: "Turn off alerts" deletes it immediately. If you revoke this site's notification permission in your browser, the push service tells us the subscription has ended at the next alert, and we delete it then. Addresses that fail delivery 5 times in a row are also deleted. When you turn alerts on, we also store the display language of the page you were viewing and your browser's time zone name (e.g. America/New_York), so alerts arrive in that language and local time.
4. Server logs
The site runs on Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process request records such as your IP address for security and operations, under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
5. Cookies
Only if you choose "Allow", Google Analytics uses cookies (_ga and those starting with _ga_) to tell visits apart. They are kept for up to 2 years. Your choice is stored only in your browser's localStorage (ga-consent). If you pick a language, that choice is kept in a lang cookie for one year (no identifier, just the language code). If you never pick one, there is no cookie. Your theme choice (dark or light), whether you dismissed the alert prompt, and whether you dismissed the language suggestion are stored only in your browser's localStorage and never sent to the server. Turning on outage alerts registers a service worker in your browser to receive them; turning alerts off removes it.
6. Advertising
There are no ads right now. Before we start showing ads (Google AdSense), we will describe ad cookies and how to control personalized ads on this page and update the effective date.

A contact email address will be posted here soon.
