Privacy Policy

At WebStatus.in, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use any of our developer tools.

By using our service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Our privacy practices vary by tool. The majority of our tools process data entirely in your browser and never transmit your data to our servers.

Server-Side Tools (Website Status Checker & Speed Checker)

• URLs Checked: When you use the Website Status Checker or Speed Checker, we receive the URL you enter as a query parameter. This is necessary because the check must originate from our servers.
• Speed Checker Timing Data: The Speed Checker records DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB, and transfer timing for the target URL. This data is returned to your browser and not stored server-side beyond standard request logs.
• Rate Limiting: We track request counts per IP address to enforce rate limits (e.g., 10 requests per minute for status checks). This data is ephemeral and not used for identification.

Client-Side Developer Tools

The following tools process all data entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the information you enter:

• JSON Editor, Formatter & Validator
• CSV Editor, Viewer & Converter
• Text Diff Checker
• Base64 Encoder & Decoder
• cURL Command Builder
• Campaign URL Builder
• JWT Decoder, Encoder & Verifier
• QR Code Generator
• Epoch & Unix Timestamp Converter
• Coupon Generator
• World Time

AI & LLM Tools

• The Token Calculator, LLM RAM Calculator, and Token Speed Simulator run entirely in your browser. No API keys, model data, or input text is transmitted to our servers.

General Website Usage

• Log Data: Like many websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
• Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your experience. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to track anonymous usage patterns.

Local Storage

Several of our tools use your browser's localStorage to save your inputs and preferences between sessions. This data is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers.

• Status Checker: Recent checks (URL, timestamp, result) — up to the last 10 entries
• Developer Tools: JSON, CSV, Diff, Base64, cURL, JWT, QR, and Epoch tools store your most recent inputs and settings (e.g., indent size, delimiter, algorithm) so they persist when you return
• Token Calculator: Stores your most recent input text for convenience
• Speed Checker: Stores the last checked URL

You can clear this data at any time through your browser's settings (typically under Site Data or Storage). Clearing localStorage does not affect your ability to use any tool.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain our website status checking and speed checking services
• To improve our website and user experience across all tools
• To analyze anonymous usage patterns and optimize performance
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security threats, and abuse
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service

Data Retention

Server-Side Tools (Status Checker & Speed Checker): We retain the URLs you check in server logs for a limited period (typically 7 days) to improve service functionality and prevent abuse.

Client-Side Tools: We do not retain any data on our servers because all processing happens in your browser. Data stored in localStorage persists until you clear it.

Log Data: Server log data is retained for up to 30 days for security and troubleshooting purposes.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website (e.g., hosting on Netlify).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred.

Location Services

Our World Time tool may request access to your device's location. This is completely optional.

• Your location coordinates are used only to determine your timezone
• All location processing happens entirely in your browser
• Your location data is never sent to our servers
• We do not store your location information
• You can revoke location permission at any time through your browser settings

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics: Our website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to help us understand how visitors interact with our site. It tracks anonymous usage events such as page views, tool actions (e.g., format, copy, encode), and error occurrences. Google Analytics does not have access to data processed by our client-side tools, as that data never leaves your browser. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google Fonts: We load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. Google may collect your IP address and browser information when serving font files. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

Netlify: Our website is hosted on Netlify, which processes server requests and may collect standard web server logs. See Netlify's Privacy Policy for details.

Your Data Protection Rights

• The right to access information we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your information
• The right to restrict or object to processing
• The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption, security headers (HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options), and rate limiting on server-side endpoints. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
