Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Aug 17, 2026, 11:53 PM UTC
The GET and POST /sync routes in the Consent Backend experienced a temporary performance degradation beginning at approximately 16:30 EST, resulting in elevated response times and increased 5xx error responses. A fix was implemented in the caching layer, which resolved the issue at approximately 17:00 EST.

Consent Workflows
Timeline · 4 updates
- investigating Mar 28, 2026, 12:28 AM UTC
We are investigating an issue where preference updates submitted via the Privacy Center, Admin Dashboard, or API are not triggering configured consent workflows. Preference data is being stored correctly — no records have been lost. Downstream workflow actions (e.g., third-party integrations, automated notifications) triggered on preference change events have not fired since March 25 at 19:33 UTC. We have identified the root cause and a fix is in progress. We will provide an update once resolved and will communicate a backfill plan for affected workflows.
- identified Mar 28, 2026, 12:35 AM UTC
The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

Consent Backend Sync Routes
Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Mar 17, 2026, 06:14 PM UTC
Our Consent backend API "/sync" (GET and POST routes) experienced a brief service disruption between 17:20 UTC and 17:34 UTC on March 17 2026. During this time, calls to update or retrieve user preferences from the client-side arigap.js script may have failed with a 500 error status code. The issue has since been resolved and the service is operating normally.
Consent SYNC API
Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Nov 19, 2025, 02:30 AM UTC
Our Consent backend sync API experienced a major outage for approximately 1 hour between 8:23PM EST TO 9:24PM EST. During this time, calls to update the user's preferences from client side airgap.js script would have failed with a 500 error status code. At this time the issue has resolved.
Consent & Preference API Outage
Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Nov 18, 2025, 12:00 AM UTC
In the EU region, our Consent Backend API experienced a major outage for approximately 19 minutes. During this time, calls to update the user's preferences would have failed with a 500 error status code. We are still investigating the scope of impact, but at this time we expect this issue to self-heal, as the Consent clients have built-in retries.
EU-based privacy center rejecting requests
Timeline · 1 update
- resolved Oct 26, 2025, 11:38 PM UTC
Our EU based privacy centers, like privacy.transcend.io for our own, were rejecting many requests to submit data subject requests during this time period. The privacy centers themselves would still load fine to display the privacy practices and options that a user could submit. This incident is now fully resolved.
Degradation in some services
Affected: Backend API - EU
Timeline · 5 updates
- investigating Oct 20, 2025, 08:25 PM UTC
We are seeing some 500 errors on our backend API service. Currently, our service appears to be alive in both the Europe and US-based backend regions, though more errors are happening on the US-backend.
- investigating Oct 20, 2025, 10:18 PM UTC
Our error rates for our core backend services have remained very low and within normal bounds for the past hour. We do still have some downstream dependencies that are unavailable, resulting on some of our offline processes queuing up information to send to these third parties once they are available. As a result, a few specific areas of our application may take time to recover to normal operations.
- investigating Oct 20, 2025, 11:38 PM UTC
We are seeing degraded performance on the EU backend, with requests timing out. We are still investigating the scope of impact.
- investigating Oct 20, 2025, 11:49 PM UTC
Requests to EU backend are no longer timing out after a restart of the multi-tenant Sombra clusters. Our core backend error rates for both EU & US regions continue to remain low and within normal bounds for the past hour.
- resolved Oct 21, 2025, 05:05 AM UTC
We've implemented recommended mitigations from our upstream vendors, which has allowed our systems to fully recover. Some Airgap.js telemetry information may encounter processing delays, as our systems catch up.
