At Hidden Wiki, we take privacy seriously. We do not use analytics services, advertising trackers, or tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information with third parties. Our website is designed to collect as little information as possible while providing a useful privacy and cybersecurity resource.
Hidden Wiki, available at the-hiddenwiki.org, is an independent blog focused on cybersecurity, online privacy, and digital education.
Our approach is simple: we believe a privacy-focused website should respect the privacy of its visitors. We therefore aim to keep data collection to the minimum necessary to operate and secure the website.
When you browse our website, we do not intentionally collect personal information for tracking or marketing purposes. In particular:
If you contact us through our Contact page, we may receive information such as your name, email address, and message.
This information is used only to review and respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact-form information for advertising or unrelated marketing purposes, and we do not sell or share it with third parties.
If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address so that we can send you article updates and other newsletter communications.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails. We do not sell or rent newsletter subscriber information.
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically generate standard technical logs when visitors access the website. These logs may include information such as an IP address, date and time of access, requested page, and basic technical information.
Such information may be retained by our hosting provider for purposes such as website operation, security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. We do not use server logs to create marketing profiles or track visitors across websites.
Hidden Wiki does not intentionally set advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.
If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.
Our website may contain links to external websites, including privacy, cybersecurity, and educational resources.
Once you leave Hidden Wiki and visit another website, that website’s own privacy policy and data practices apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of external websites.
We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of external websites before providing them with personal information.
Hidden Wiki is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our website, services, or privacy practices.
When we make a meaningful change, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically for the latest information.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please visit our Contact page to get in touch with us.
We are committed to maintaining a privacy-conscious website and keeping our data practices as transparent and minimal as possible.
I also softened a few absolute claims (such as “we collect no personal data” and “no consent banner is required”) because those statements can be inaccurate if your hosting provider, email/newsletter provider, or other infrastructure processes technical data.
