Hund.io

AnalyticsOfficial website

Hund.io is a US-based SaaS platform providing hosted status pages and uptime monitoring. When you embed a Hund.io status widget on your website, it loads resources from hund.io and may set a functional session cookie. Data is processed in the United States. Consent is generally not required for strictly functional cookies, but operators should verify whether any analytics features are active.

Overview

What does Hund.io do?

What is Hund.io?

Hund.io is a US-based software-as-a-service platform that allows businesses to create hosted status pages and monitor uptime. Organisations use Hund.io to inform their users about service incidents, scheduled maintenance and real-time availability. The platform offers embeddable widgets that can be placed directly on a website to display live status information. Hund.io serves customers globally and its infrastructure is located in the United States.

Cookies and Tracking

When a Hund.io status widget is embedded on your website, the visitor's browser loads resources directly from hund.io or status.hund.io. This may result in a session or functional cookie being set to maintain the state of the widget. Tracking is minimal and focused on delivering the functional service rather than collecting behavioural data. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are known to be deployed by the core widget functionality.

GDPR and ePrivacy Compliance

Under the ePrivacy Directive, cookies that are strictly necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the consent requirement. A functional session cookie set purely to render the Hund.io status widget falls into this exempt category. However, if Hund.io activates any analytics or optional features that set additional cookies, those would require prior informed consent from EU visitors under both ePrivacy and GDPR Article 6. Operators should review their specific Hund.io configuration to confirm which cookies are active.

Data Transfers to the United States

Because Hund.io operates from the United States, any data exchanged when a visitor loads the widget, including IP addresses and browser metadata, is transferred to a third country outside the EEA. Under GDPR Article 46, such transfers require appropriate safeguards. Operators should confirm whether Hund.io relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or another recognised transfer mechanism, and document this in their records of processing activities.

Practical Compliance Steps

Operators using Hund.io should disclose the widget in their privacy policy, naming hund.io and status.hund.io as third-party services and describing the functional cookie. Document the US data transfer and the legal mechanism relied upon. If any analytics features are enabled within Hund.io, add it to your consent management platform and obtain consent before loading those features. The overall compliance risk of Hund.io is low, but accurate documentation remains essential under GDPR accountability obligations.

Cookie Policy and Disclosure

Your cookie policy should list Hund.io as a functional third-party service, describing it as a status and uptime monitoring widget that may set a session cookie necessary for its operation. State that data is processed in the United States and link to the Hund.io privacy policy. If you update or disable the widget in future, revise your cookie policy accordingly to keep disclosures accurate and up to date.

Compliance

Hund.io and the GDPR

Legal basis
Functional/strictly necessary cookies used solely to deliver the status widget are exempt from consent under ePrivacy. If any analytics cookies are present beyond strictly necessary use, consent is required. Legitimate interest or consent may apply depending on implementation.
Risk level
low
Applicable regulations
GDPR (EU) 2016/679, ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC

Impact assessment (DPIA)

A full DPIA is unlikely to be required for Hund.io given its low risk profile and minimal data processing. However, operators should document the US data transfer under Article 46 GDPR, verify that no analytics cookies are set without consent, and assess whether the widget processes any personal data of EU visitors.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Hund.io

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does Hund.io set?

Hund.io primarily sets a functional session cookie when its status widget is embedded and loaded in a visitor's browser. This cookie is used to maintain the state of the widget during the session. No advertising or behavioural tracking cookies are set by the core widget. If analytics features are enabled within your Hund.io account, additional cookies may be present.

Is consent required to use Hund.io?

For the core status widget, consent is generally not required because the session cookie it sets is strictly functional and necessary to display the widget. However, if you enable any analytics or non-essential features within Hund.io, those would require prior informed consent from EU visitors under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.

What is the legal basis for processing data via Hund.io?

For the functional widget cookie, the legal basis is legitimate interest or the strict necessity exemption under ePrivacy. If analytics features are active, the legal basis shifts to consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Operators should document the chosen legal basis in their records of processing activities.

Does Hund.io transfer data to third countries?

Yes. Hund.io's infrastructure is located in the United States, which is a third country outside the EEA. When a visitor's browser loads the status widget, data including IP addresses and browser metadata is transferred to US servers. Operators must ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, is in place and documented.

Is a DPIA required for Hund.io?

A full Data Protection Impact Assessment is unlikely to be required for Hund.io given its low risk profile and minimal data collection. However, the US data transfer should be documented. If the widget were to process special category data or be used in a high-risk context, a DPIA would become necessary. Maintain proportionate documentation under GDPR accountability obligations.

How do I implement Hund.io in a GDPR-compliant way?

Disclose Hund.io in your privacy policy, identifying hund.io and status.hund.io as third-party services. Document the US data transfer and the legal mechanism used, such as Standard Contractual Clauses. If analytics are enabled, integrate Hund.io into your consent management platform and block it until consent is given. Review your Hund.io configuration periodically to check for new features.

Are there privacy-friendly alternatives to Hund.io?

Yes. EU-hosted status page alternatives include Cachet (self-hosted), Instatus and Statuspage by Atlassian, among others. For organisations requiring full EU data residency, a self-hosted solution gives maximum control. Evaluate alternatives based on your uptime monitoring needs, hosting requirements and GDPR compliance obligations.

How should I update my cookie policy to reflect Hund.io?

Add an entry for Hund.io in your cookie policy listing it as a functional third-party service used to display service availability. Describe that it may set a session cookie necessary for its operation and that data is processed in the United States. Include a link to the Hund.io privacy policy. Update your cookie policy whenever you change the widget configuration or add new Hund.io features.
