OUTAGE.GREN

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Your Privacy Matters

Outage.gr is designed with privacy at its core. We collect the absolute minimum data needed to operate the service. You do not need an account, email address, or any personal information to use Outage.gr.

What We Collect

Device Fingerprint

When you submit a report, verify an outage, or post a comment, we generate a random UUID (universally unique identifier) stored only in your browser's localStorage. This is not linked to your identity — it simply prevents duplicate votes and lets you manage your own reports. Clearing your browser data removes it entirely.

Location Data

When you submit an outage report, you provide a location either through GPS (with your explicit permission) or by searching an address. This location is stored as geographic coordinates attached to the report. We do not track your location outside of the report submission process.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics (cookieless, anonymous page views) and Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic. GA4 uses cookies only after you accept them in the consent message. You can decline; the site still works. See Google's and Vercel's privacy policies for details.

What We Do NOT Collect

  • Email addresses or names
  • IP addresses (not stored in our database)
  • Tracking cookies unless you accept them in the consent message
  • Personal identification of any kind
  • Location data when you are not actively submitting a report

Third-Party Services

Outage.gr uses the following external services:

  • Supabase — database hosting (EU region)
  • Vercel — application hosting and analytics
  • Google Analytics 4 — traffic analytics (after consent)
  • OpenStreetMap/Nominatim — geocoding (address lookup)
  • CARTO — map tile provider
  • DEDDIE (siteapps.deddie.gr) — official scheduled outage data
  • Google AdSense — advertising

Cookies & Advertising

The only first-party storage Outage.gr always uses is a localStorage entry containing your anonymous device fingerprint (a random UUID). This site is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense and Google Analytics 4. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland are shown Google's consent message before personalised ads or analytics cookies are used. If you decline, the site still works; ads may be non-personalised and analytics stay cookieless. You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time at adssettings.google.com. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's Privacy & Terms (policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data, there is typically nothing to request deletion of. However, you can clear your device fingerprint at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for outage.gr. If you have any concerns, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of Outage.gr constitutes acceptance of the current policy.
