1.Information we receive

When you visit HiddenWeb, technical information is processed to deliver the website and protect it from misuse. This can include your IP address, browser information, request time, requested page and referring website.

If you register, we store your username, email address, password hash and account settings. If you use forms, we also receive the information you enter, such as your message, website details or booking request. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

2.Why we use this information

We use account and booking information to provide the services you request and to deal with related enquiries. We process technical and security information for our legitimate interests in maintaining a reliable website and preventing abuse, subject to your rights and applicable law.

We may also process information to meet legal obligations. Where a particular activity requires consent, that activity needs a valid consent basis. Using the website is not blanket consent to unrelated tracking or marketing.

3.Member features and public contributions

Favorites, browsing history, preferences and submitted websites may be linked to your account so you can manage them in the member area. Reviews, votes, reports and ownership requests are processed to operate those features and support moderation.

Approved reviews, comments and directory contributions can be visible to other visitors together with the displayed name. Do not include private information in material you intend to publish. Reports, contact messages and ownership evidence are intended for administrative review, rather than public display.

4.Visitor statistics and search activity

HiddenWeb records usage statistics, including visits, website clicks, category views, approximate countries, referring sources and browser or device categories. Search terms and result counts may also be summarized to improve the directory.

The visitor statistics system uses coded identifiers derived from network and browser information. These identifiers are pseudonymous; the resulting records should not be described as completely anonymous. Account browsing history is a separate member feature.

Please do not include personal information in search queries. The privacy and consent requirements for analytics depend on the technologies and settings actually used.

5.Cookies and browser storage

Cookies and browser storage support functions such as login sessions, security, display preferences and remembering announcements you have closed. You can manage cookies and stored site data in your browser; deleting or blocking them can affect these functions.

Optional storage or tracking requires consent where applicable law requires it. Browser controls alone are not a replacement for any consent that the website is required to obtain.

6.Contact, advertising and partnership requests

Information submitted through contact, advertising, partnership and ownership forms is used to review and respond to your request. This can include your name, email address, website address, requested placement, dates, supporting details and correspondence.

Advertising records may also include payment confirmation details, Bitcoin addresses, booking changes and placement statistics. Only send information relevant to the request. Never send passwords, wallet recovery phrases or private keys.

7.Security and spam protection

We use security measures, submission limits, moderation and spam checks to reduce unauthorized access and misuse. Relevant events may be recorded with timestamps, account references and coded or shortened network information.

No website can guarantee complete security. Use a strong password and contact us if you suspect that your account has been accessed without permission.

8.Updates and questions

This policy may be updated when our features or processing practices change. The date on this page identifies the version displayed. Significant changes will be communicated where required.
