Privacy Policy

Effective: January 2026

At Onion.Live, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. This policy outlines our commitment to data minimization and user anonymity.

1. No Logging Policy

We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. Specifically:

  • No IP Logs: Your IP address is never written to disk. Our server logs are disabled or piped to `/dev/null`.
  • No Search History: Search queries are processed in-memory and discarded immediately after results are served.
  • No User Accounts: We do not require registration, emails, or passwords to access our directory.

2. Cookies & Tracking

Onion.Live is a cookie-free website. We do not use:

  • Google Analytics or third-party trackers.
  • Persistent cookies or local storage identifiers.
  • Browser fingerprinting scripts.

The only data stored is purely functional (e.g., your current session preference if implemented, which is transient).

3. External Links

Our service acts as a directory. When you click an external .onion link (e.g., to a market or forum), you leave our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party hidden services.

4. PGP & Communications

If you contact us via email, we recommend using PGP encryption. Emails received are deleted after 30 days unless they pertain to an ongoing listing dispute or security report.
