Introduction
At IsItOfflineNow.com, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how our website status checker operates and how we handle (or rather, don't handle) your data.
No Data Collection
Our website status checker runs entirely in your browser. When you check a website's status:
- We do NOT collect the URLs you check
- We do NOT store your browsing history
- We do NOT track your IP address
- We do NOT use cookies for tracking purposes
- We do NOT send any data to our servers
How It Works
All website checks are performed directly from your browser to the target website. Your browser makes the request, receives the response, and displays the result. No intermediary servers are involved in this process.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand general website usage patterns and improve our service. Google Analytics collects anonymous data about page views, browser types, and general geographic regions. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to external resources (Wikipedia, Google Developers, Cloudflare). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external websites. Please review their privacy policies separately.
Children's Privacy
Our service does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The service is available to all users without any registration or data collection.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the website status checker work?
Our checker sends a request directly from your browser to the target website. It measures response time and determines if the site is accessible. All checks happen in your browser with complete privacy - we never log or store the websites you check.
Why might a site show as offline when it's actually working?
Some websites block cross-origin requests from browsers (CORS policy), which can cause our checker to report them as offline. Additionally, websites with strict security settings may not respond to basic checks. This is a browser limitation, not actual downtime.
Is my data private when checking websites?
Yes, absolutely! All checks run entirely in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any data to our servers. Your browsing history and the websites you check remain 100% private. No tracking, no analytics, no data collection.
Can I monitor a website continuously for uptime?
Yes! Enable the monitoring option to automatically check your chosen website every 5 minutes for up to 1 hour. You'll see real-time updates and a complete activity log. Keep the browser tab open for continuous monitoring.
What's the difference between website down, offline, and downtime?
These terms are often used interchangeably. "Website down" or "offline" means the site is not accessible. "Downtime" refers to the period when a website is unavailable. Our tool detects all these conditions by testing website connectivity and response.
