Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
DarkNet Index is built with privacy as a core principle. Given the subject matter of this site and the audience it serves, we believe that visitor privacy is not optional — it is a fundamental requirement. This policy explains what data we collect (very little), what we do not collect (nearly everything), and how we handle the limited information that passes through our infrastructure.
Data We Do Not Collect
DarkNet Index does not use analytics services such as Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, or any similar tracking platform. We do not deploy tracking pixels, fingerprinting scripts, or session recording tools. We do not set cookies of any kind — no session cookies, no persistent cookies, no third-party cookies. We do not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information including names, email addresses, IP addresses, or device identifiers.
Server Logs
Our hosting infrastructure may generate standard web server access logs as part of normal operation. These logs may include IP addresses, request timestamps, requested URLs, HTTP status codes, and user-agent strings. Server logs are used exclusively for security monitoring and abuse prevention. They are automatically purged on a regular rotation schedule and are never shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing purposes.
External Resources
Some pages on this site may load resources from external domains including font files and API data (such as cryptocurrency price feeds). These requests are made directly from your browser to the external service, and those services may log your IP address according to their own privacy policies. We recommend using a VPN or Tor Browser if you wish to prevent this. The site is fully functional without these external resources — they enhance the experience but are not required.
Cookies
This website does not set any cookies. No first-party cookies, no third-party cookies, no tracking cookies, no preference cookies. Your browser's cookie storage is not accessed or modified by any page on this site.
JavaScript
This site uses minimal JavaScript for non-essential features such as the cryptocurrency price ticker and visual animations. No JavaScript on this site collects user data, creates fingerprints, or communicates with tracking services. The site is fully readable with JavaScript disabled, which is the recommended configuration when using Tor Browser in "Safest" mode.
Third-Party Sharing
DarkNet Index does not share, sell, rent, or trade any visitor information with any third party for any purpose. We do not participate in advertising networks, data brokers, or marketing partnerships. We do not respond to data requests from any entity unless compelled by valid legal process in the applicable jurisdiction.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of this website constitutes acceptance of the current privacy policy.
