Your Consent Choices

When you first visit our site, we present a cookie consent banner requesting your permission before setting non-essential cookies. You may accept all, reject all, or selectively enable categories via "Manage Preferences."

Withdrawing consent: You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the website footer. This will reset your choices and re-display the consent banner. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You can also instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Google Consent Mode

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows Google tags (Analytics, Advertising) to adjust their behaviour based on your consent choices. When you decline cookies, Google tags operate in a restricted, cookieless mode — no personal identifiers are stored or transmitted. Google may use anonymised, aggregated signals to provide statistical modelling of missing data, but this does not identify individual users.

Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements
  • Vercel Analytics: For website analytics
  • Cloudflare: For security and performance

Each of these services has their own Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review their policies.

Data Retention

We retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide our Service and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Anonymous aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Ownership

All data generated through the operation of this Service — including but not limited to status snapshots, aggregated reports, monitoring results, service databases, trend data, and compilations — is the proprietary property of DownRightNow. This data is protected under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

This proprietary data may not be copied, reproduced, extracted, scraped, or redistributed without prior written permission from DownRightNow.

Automated Access & Scraping

Automated collection, scraping, crawling, or harvesting of any data or content from this website is strictly prohibited without prior written permission from DownRightNow. We employ technical measures and monitor access logs to detect unauthorized automated access.

Information collected through such monitoring may be used to enforce our Terms of Service, take legal action against violators, and protect the integrity of our Service. Unauthorized scraping will attract immediate legal action.
