Our Commitment to Privacy

DarkWiki is committed to protecting visitor privacy. As an educational resource about anonymous networks and digital privacy, we practice what we document. This policy explains how we handle data.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We select services that respect user privacy.

Tor and VPN Users

Data Security

We implement security measures including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Regular security updates
  • Limited data retention
  • Access controls for any stored data

Children's Privacy

DarkWiki is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Some content discusses mature topics related to cybercrime and may not be appropriate for all audiences.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

  • Right to access data we hold about you
  • Right to request deletion of your data
  • Right to opt out of data collection

Since we collect minimal data, there is typically little to access or delete. Contact us with any concerns.

International Visitors

DarkWiki is accessible globally. Data protection laws vary by country. We aim to meet the highest standards, including GDPR principles of data minimization and purpose limitation.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
