Traffic Data
Each time a visitor comes to the Dataoutages.com site, information is collected
to improve the overall quality of the site. Dataoutages.com collects the
visitor.s domain name/IP Address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from
netscape.com or yale.edu or 255.255.255.0), referral data (e.g., we record the
address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to an
Dataoutages.com site), and browser/platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a
Macintosh platform).
Dataoutages.com also counts, tracks, and aggregates each visitors activity into
our analysis of general traffic flows at Dataoutages.com. Dataoutages.com may
share this information, on an aggregated basis only, with potential advertisers.
Dataoutages.com will not disclose your individual identity or personal data. When
Dataoutages.com does present aggregated information to potential advertisers, no
one will be able to identify you or contact you.
We like RFC standards when they suit us.
We will block incoming mail (SMTP) traffic as we see fit. Domains that do not follow RFC guidelines will be blocked. Specifically, not following RFC 2142 (section 4) and RFC 2821 (section 4.5.1) will result in your entire domain being blocked from sending us e-mail. We don.t care if you are a national ISP with a few million customers.
We will block incoming web (HTTP) traffic as we see fit. Browsers/clients that spoof user agents or HREF.s will also be blocked at our discretion. Specifically, not following RFC 1945 (section 10.13 and 10.15) or RFC 2616 (section 14.36 and 14.43) will result in your domain or client being blocked.
Dataoutages.org may use language or ideas that are unsuitable to you. We can.t please everyone so we start with ourselves first.
This system may contain language, images, ideas, or philosophies that may be offensive to some, and a turn-on to others. This is your warning.
