1. What this site records
Dark Market Url is an independent project focused on research and security awareness. We aim to inform analysts, reporters and security teams — not to profile readers. Only the minimum data required to run the site is collected.
- Server access logs: the usual access-log fields — IP, timestamp, URL, user agent, referrer — held for a short rolling period to support abuse prevention and capacity tuning.
- Aggregated statistics: anonymous counts of pageviews and search queries, used to gauge interest across topics. No personal identifiers are retained.
- Form submissions: any data you voluntarily type into the contact form or comment form (name, email, message). We receive nothing unless you actively submit the form.
2. What we do not collect
- We do not pass visitor data to advertising networks, brokers or resellers.
- We do not run third-party tracking pixels or browser fingerprinting.
- Reading the catalog requires no account, no login and no wallet address.
- We do not record the .onion sites you visit outside this domain — that information stays between you and Tor.
3. Cookies on this site
Only functional cookies are used — typically a session cookie during form submissions or a preference cookie for UI options. No advertising or tracking cookies are set, and you can clear cookies any time without losing access.
4. Third-party services
A small set of external providers help us run the site reliably:
- Hosting and CDN: our host handles incoming requests so pages can be served. They have visibility comparable to the access logs above.
- Web fonts: typography is loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser may share your IP address with Google when loading fonts. If this is a concern, you can block third-party font loading at the browser level — the site stays readable with system fonts.
- Search engines: major search engines index the site so that researchers can discover it. Anything those engines record about you is outside our control.
5. Use by minors
Dark Market Url is aimed at adult professional and academic readers. The site is not designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, please leave this site.
6. Your data rights
Your local law may give you the right to access, correct or delete data we hold about you and to object to certain processing. We collect very little personal data on purpose, so there is usually nothing identifiable for us to act on. If you have submitted a form and want your data removed, please use the link below.
7. How we protect data
Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are in place — HTTPS for all traffic, hardened server configuration and ongoing monitoring. No online service can guarantee perfect security, so apply your own operational hygiene when reaching out, particularly across the public internet.
8. Policy amendments
The policy may be updated periodically to reflect technological, regulatory or operational changes. Any material revision will be marked on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continuing to use the site after a change implies you accept the new version.
9. Contact information
Questions about privacy or data handling can be sent through our contact form with a relevant subject. We respond in a reasonable timeframe and never repurpose submissions for marketing.
