Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
ArcStatus.com (“we,” “our,” or “the site”) is an unofficial community resource for the game ARC Raiders. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use the site.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require an account to use ArcStatus. We may collect:
- Anonymous usage data — When you report server issues (e.g. “Arc Raiders down”), we store anonymized reports (e.g. query text, timestamp, and a hashed identifier) to show trending problems and improve status accuracy. We do not store your IP in a personally identifiable way for these reports.
- Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, referrer, device type). This may include cookies and similar technologies. See Google’s privacy policy for how they process data.
- Logs — Our server may log requests (IP, user agent, URL) for security and abuse prevention. These logs are retained for a limited period and not used to identify individual users for marketing.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information above to:
- Display live and historical server status and trending error reports.
- Improve the site and fix bugs.
- Prevent abuse (e.g. spam reporting) and enforce our terms.
3. Cookies
We use cookies where necessary for operation (e.g. preferences) and via Google Analytics. You can control or block cookies in your browser settings.
4. Third Parties
Google Analytics is the main third-party service we use. Their data processing is governed by their own policies. We do not sell your personal data.
5. Data Retention
We retain anonymous reports and aggregated data as long as needed for status features and analytics. Server logs are typically retained for a short period (e.g. 30–90 days) for security.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because we minimize personal data collection, most usage is anonymous. For requests or questions, contact us via the methods listed on the site (e.g. Twitter/X @ArcStatusLive).
7. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
