RunSSLCheck

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

We operate RunSSLCheck. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Service and how we use it.

1. Information you provide

When you use the SSL checker, you enter a hostname (domain or URL) to scan. We process this input solely to perform the certificate check and return results. We do not require an account or personal information to use the Service.

2. Automatically collected information

Like most websites, our servers may automatically log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring page, request timestamps, and general usage patterns. This helps us operate, secure, and improve the Service.

3. How we use information

We use collected information to:

  • Perform SSL/TLS certificate checks you request
  • Maintain, protect, and improve the Service
  • Understand site usage through analytics
  • Serve and measure advertising
  • Detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use RunSSLCheck — such as pages viewed, time on site, and general traffic sources. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to gather this data. The information is aggregated and helps us improve the Service.

Google may process this data according to its own privacy policies. You can learn more at Google's Privacy Policy and opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Google AdSense & advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on RunSSLCheck. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. AdSense may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages you view in order to show relevant ads and measure ad performance.

You can manage or disable personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. For more on how Google uses data from partner sites, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

6. Cookies

In addition to analytics and advertising cookies described above, we may use essential cookies required for the site to function. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Other third parties

When you submit a hostname, our servers connect directly to that target to retrieve certificate information. We do not share your hostname queries with third-party certificate lookup services to generate results.

8. Data retention

Server logs and related technical data are retained only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance, then deleted or anonymized.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us using the email below.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
