Darknet Market
This privacy policy explains how darknet-wiki.com handles data. The short version: we collect as little as possible and share nothing commercially.
What Data This Onion Marketplace Research Site Collects
darknet-wiki.com is designed to minimise data collection. The site does not use tracking cookies, advertising scripts, or social media pixel embeds. No user-identifying data is intentionally collected by the site itself. Server-side logging practices depend on the hosting provider; standard web server access logs may record IP addresses, request paths, timestamps, and user-agent strings. These logs are used exclusively for security monitoring and server maintenance purposes and are not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
This site does not operate any forms, user accounts, or subscription systems. No personal information — including name, email address, payment information, or identifying details — is collected through the site's interface. Users who contact the site through external means (for example, through the public PGP key published in the about section) accept that communication outside this site is governed by the privacy practices of the communication platform used.
Third-Party Resources and Darknet Market Research Links
This site links to external resources including academic publications, public health organisations, cryptocurrency projects, and security tools. Visits to linked external sites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies. This site is not responsible for the data practices of any external resource.
Typography is loaded from Google Fonts via standard CDN links. Google's privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy) governs the data processing associated with these requests. Users who prefer to block Google Fonts CDN requests may do so through their browser's network-blocking features or through a privacy-focused DNS resolver without affecting the informational content of this site.
No analytics service (Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, or equivalent) is embedded in this site. Traffic analysis, if any, is conducted exclusively using server-side access logs at the aggregate level. Individual user sessions are not tracked, profiled, or associated with personal identifiers.
This site does not target, collect data from, or direct advertising toward minors. All content is intended for adults with an academic or journalistic interest in darknet market research, cryptocurrency privacy, harm reduction, and operational security. Information about secure market architecture and darkweb trading infrastructure is presented at an informational level consistent with published academic literature.
Your Privacy Rights and Contact
As this site does not collect personal data, formal data-subject rights requests (access, rectification, erasure) are not applicable in most cases. If you believe data associated with you has been processed in error, contact the site operator through the PGP-encrypted channel published in the site's contact documentation. Requests will be reviewed and addressed within 30 days.
Residents of the European Economic Area have rights under the GDPR including the right to lodge a complaint with their national supervisory authority if they believe their data has been processed unlawfully. The relevant authority directory is available at edpb.europa.eu.
