Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
Information We Collect
DarkNetPedia does not require account registration. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via a contact form). Automatically collected data may include anonymized usage statistics through Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first and does not use cookies or track individual users.
Cookies
DarkNetPedia uses minimal cookies. No persistent tracking cookies are set by our own infrastructure. Third-party advertising providers (Google AdSense) may set cookies to serve relevant advertisements. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings or opt out via the Google Ads Settings page.
Advertising
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. We do not control the data practices of Google or other advertising partners.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand traffic patterns. Cloudflare Web Analytics is privacy-preserving: it does not use cookies, does not track individuals across sites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. Aggregate data helps us improve the site.
Data Sharing
DarkNetPedia does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with analytics providers as described above. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
External Links
Our site contains links to external websites including .onion addresses on the Tor network. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. This privacy policy applies only to DarkNetPedia.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect any information held. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information.
Children's Privacy
DarkNetPedia is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable regulations. Since we collect minimal data, most requests can be accommodated. Contact us to exercise your rights.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
