Privacy Policy

Reading guides and browsing the site

Reading a guide or category page does not create an account and does not set a tracking cookie. Standard web server access logs may be retained briefly by hosting infrastructure for security and abuse prevention.

The website status checker

When you run a check, the application does not store your raw IP address. It stores a one-way salted hash for rate limiting together with the hostname checked and diagnostic result.

The contact form

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, and message you provide are stored so the site can respond to you.

Cookies

The checker and contact form use a session cookie for CSRF protection. The site does not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies.

Admin accounts

Editorial accounts store an email address, a securely hashed password, and security audit information.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page.

Anonymous service status reports

On service status pages, visitors may optionally report whether a service is working for them. To limit repeated voting and abuse, Erriscope stores a one-way hash derived from the network address rather than the raw address, together with the selected answer and timestamp. These status-report records are used only for aggregated recent-trend counts and abuse prevention. Old report records are automatically removed after a short retention period.
