1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Torzon-dnm.com is an educational website that respects user privacy. We recognize that visitors to this site have heightened privacy concerns. Our data collection practices are minimal by design, and we do not engage in user tracking, behavioral advertising, or sharing data with third parties beyond what is technically necessary for site operation.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the absolute minimum amount of data required to operate this website:

  • Server Access Logs: Our web server automatically logs standard access information including approximate IP address (truncated), browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are used solely for security and performance monitoring and are purged automatically after 7 days.
  • No Cookies: This website does not use tracking cookies, persistent cookies, or any form of cross-site tracking technology.
  • No Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party analytics service that would expose visitor data to external parties.
  • No Account Data: This site does not have user accounts, registration systems, or any facility for collecting personal information directly from visitors.
  • No Forms: This site does not have contact forms, comment systems, or other user input mechanisms that would collect personal data.

3. How We Use Information

The minimal data we collect (server logs) is used exclusively to:

  • Diagnose technical problems and server errors
  • Detect and prevent distributed denial-of-service attacks
  • Monitor basic traffic patterns for capacity planning
  • Identify and block malicious access attempts

We do not use this data for marketing, profiling, behavioral analysis, or any commercial purpose.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your data with any third parties except:

  • Hosting Provider: Our web hosting provider processes data as part of normal server operation under a contractual data processing agreement requiring minimal retention and confidentiality.
  • Legal Requirements: We may be required to disclose information in response to valid legal requests. We will attempt to notify users of such requests to the extent permitted by law. Note that our minimal data collection means we have little to disclose even under compulsion.

5. Cookies and Tracking

This website does not use:

  • Session cookies or persistent cookies
  • Web beacons or tracking pixels
  • Local storage for tracking purposes
  • Fingerprinting scripts
  • Social media sharing buttons (which would load third-party trackers)

We use local sessionStorage solely for non-identifying UI preferences (such as whether a FAQ item was last opened) within your current browser session. This data is never transmitted to our servers.

6. External Links

This site contains links to external websites (harm reduction resources, cryptocurrency services, security tools). When you click these links, you leave our site and become subject to the privacy policies of those external sites. We have no control over and bear no responsibility for the data practices of external sites.

7. Content Delivery

All resources on this website (CSS, JavaScript, fonts, images) are served from our own servers. We do not load resources from third-party CDNs or external services, with the exception of Google Fonts for typography. Google Fonts loads font files from fonts.googleapis.com — see Google's privacy policy for details on their data handling. If you are concerned about this, you may use a content blocker or access the site on a privacy-focused browser.

8. Children's Privacy

This website contains information about illegal goods and darknet marketplaces that is intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect data from or market to individuals under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, please do not use this website.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data including the right to access, rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing. Given our minimal data collection, we hold very little data that would be subject to these rights. To exercise any applicable rights, you may contact us as described below.

10. Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
