OnionWiki.com (also referred to in this document as OnionWiki, The Onion Wiki, or Onion Wiki) operates onionwiki.com and does not operate any other hidden wiki websites. It’s the Onion Wiki policy to respect privacy regarding any info that it can collect (if ever) while you’re using the website.
Website Visitors
The Onion Wiki collects non-personally-identifying data that most servers and web browsers make available, like language preference, browser type, date and time of every visitor request, and referring site. The main purpose is to enhance understanding of how onionwiki.com users use the website so that we can give you the best experience.
The website automatically collects information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from users who post comments. This feature comes from the site’s CMS, WordPress. We disclose such information only under the same limited circumstances described in this policy. We also make every effort to avoid sharing any information—even non-personal data—with third parties.
Gathering of Personal Information
The type and amount of personal data OnionWiki collects depends on how visitors interact with the website. For example, when you post a comment, you must provide a name (doesn’t need to be your real) and an email address (again, no email verification step is involved so it can be a random one you’d like to use). OnionWiki does not offer user sign-ups, accounts, or transactions, and we never collect financial information. The information we collect is limited to what is necessary for comment functionality. Visitors may choose not to provide this information, but doing so will prevent them from posting comments on the website.
Aggregated Statistics
The Onion Wiki may gather statistics (using a web analytics platform like Google Analytics, Clicky, or Matomo) about how the visitors who visit the website behave and it may display such data publicly or even offer it to others. However, it doesn’t disclose personally-identifying data apart from what’s described below.
Protection of Specific Personally-identifying Info
OnionWiki.com only discloses potentially personal information to its employees, affiliated organizations (if any), and contractors that (i) should know that data to process it on behalf of the Onion Wiki or offer services that are available on its websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of the contractors, employees, or affiliated organizations might be located outside of a user’s home country, and by using OnionWiki.com, you agree to the transfer of information to them.
The Onion Wiki won’t sell or rent personal information to anyone other than the contractors, employees, and affiliated organizations and will disclose such information in response to a court order, subpoena, or upon government request, or it believes that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights and property of Onion Wiki, the general public, or third parties.
Cookies
Cookies are usually stored on a user’s device, and the user’s browser offers them to a website every time they return. OnionWiki.com uses cookies to help it identify and track the visitors, how they use the website, and what they prefer on the website. If you don’t want cookies placed on your computer, you should set your browser to refuse cookies before you use the Onion Wiki website. However, you should note that certain features of the website might fail to function properly when you disable cookies.
Business transfers
If the Onion Wiki or all its assets are substantially acquired, or if it happens that it goes out of business or goes into bankruptcy, user information is transferred or simply acquired by a third party. You consent that in such an unlikely scenario, the transfer can occur, and that the acquirer of it can continue to use your non-personal data as set forth in the policy.
Ads
Ads that appear anywhere on our website can be delivered to users by all advertising partners that can set cookies. The cookies help the ad server to know your device, any time they send an ad to compile data about you and whoever uses the device. That info helps ad networks to deliver targeted ads that interest you the most, among other things. This privacy policy only covers the use of cookies by Onion Wiki and doesn’t cover their use by any advertisers.
Relation to Terms of Service
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. By using OnionWiki.com, you agree to both this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.
Privacy Policy Changes
It’s clear that most changes don’t happen often, but OnionWiki.com can alter its privacy policy often and at its sole discretion. The Onion Wiki encourages visitors to often check this page for changes. Your continued use of the website after the changes to the privacy policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
