Our Commitment to Privacy
TorWiki is an independent, editorially maintained darknet directory built on the principle that privacy is a fundamental human right. Unlike the vast majority of websites, TorWiki was designed from the ground up to collect absolutely no user data. This policy exists not to describe what we do with your data, but to formally confirm that we do not collect any.
Information We Do NOT Collect
We are committed to true privacy. TorWiki does not collect, store, or log:
- IP addresses or connection metadata
- Search queries or browsing history
- Browser fingerprints or device information
- Cookies or tracking identifiers of any kind
- Personal information or demographic data
- User accounts or registration data
- Geolocation or referral source data
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
TorWiki uses zero cookies — neither first-party nor third-party. No tracking scripts, analytics platforms, advertising pixels, session identifiers, or similar technologies are deployed on any page of this website. Our site operates without JavaScript requirements, ensuring that no client-side tracking is possible even by design.
Server Logs
No identifiable server logs are maintained. Standard HTTP request logs that could contain IP addresses or user-agent strings are not stored, retained, or processed. TorWiki has no mechanism to identify, track, or correlate individual visitors.
Third-Party Services
TorWiki does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not integrate with Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any equivalent platform. All fonts are self-hosted — no external CDN or font delivery network is contacted when you load any page. There are no external API calls, no social media widgets, and no embedded third-party content.
Data Retention
Since TorWiki collects no user data, there is no data to retain, process, or delete. No databases of visitor information exist. No behavioral profiles are constructed. No data is stored on our servers that could be linked to any individual user.
Tor Network Usage
We strongly recommend accessing TorWiki through the Tor network for maximum anonymity. When using Tor:
- Your connection is encrypted and routed through multiple relay nodes
- Your real IP address is hidden from our servers and all intermediaries
- Your browsing activity remains anonymous and untraceable
External Links
TorWiki displays .onion addresses and links to external websites for informational reference. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection policies, or content of any external site. Each third-party site operates under its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information.
Children’s Privacy
TorWiki does not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. Since we collect no data from any user regardless of age, no special provisions are necessary. However, this website contains content intended for adult researchers and is not designed for use by minors.
Security
While we implement industry-standard security measures to protect our infrastructure, the strongest privacy guarantee we offer is architectural: we do not store user data, eliminating the risk of data breaches affecting user privacy. There is nothing to breach, steal, or leak.
Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data, there is no data to access, modify, export, or delete. Your privacy is protected by design, not by process. Under regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks, TorWiki’s zero-collection architecture inherently satisfies all data subject rights.
Regulatory Compliance
TorWiki is designed to comply with international privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable privacy legislation — by the most effective method possible: not collecting personal data in the first place.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of TorWiki after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
