Protecting Your Data Privacy and Security


As of May 25, 2018, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became fully enforceable across the European Union (EU). We are taking important steps to become GDPR compliant as we value the data of our users irrespective of their geographical location. GDPR compliance is also not restricted to only EU companies.

This page outlines important details of GDPR, as well as the steps Uptime.com has taken to become compliant.

Your Personal Data

Uptime.com complies with the GDPR definition of personal data as: identifiable data that relates to an individual either directly or indirectly. Some examples include names and email addresses of users in an Uptime.com account.
