What data does OnlineOrNot collect about me, and why?

OnlineOrNot collects API-based data.

When you add pages to test on the OnlineOrNot application, OnlineOrNot stores them on OnlineOrNot servers. The data is associated with your OnlineOrNot account. When the data is stored in the OnlineOrNot server, OnlineOrNot encrypts it in transit and at rest so that other people including the server administrators can not see the contents of the data. The OnlineOrNot servers use the data to provide monitoring services.

OnlineOrNot collects data about how you use the OnlineOrNot service.

When you use the OnlineOrNot API or the OnlineOrNot website, OnlineOrNot logs data that might be identified to you:

  • a random, unique identifier
  • the version of your browser, and the operating system you are using

Stripe meets the highest level of PCI compliance (Level 1). See more on their Security page.
