Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or use our website (the "Site"). The Site is a search engine for publicly available BitTorrent metadata collected from the DHT network. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly. This Policy is designed with a focus on compliance with U.S. laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents, but may also align with other applicable privacy regulations.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We do not require user registration or authentication to access or use the Site. As such, we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or account details.

Automatically Collected Information

When you interact with the Site, we may automatically collect certain non-identifying information through server logs and analytics tools. This includes:

  • Search Logs: We log search queries to understand user interests and improve the Site's functionality. These logs are anonymized and not linked to IP addresses, device identifiers, or any other data that could personally identify you.
  • Usage Data: General information about how the Site is accessed and used, such as the date and time of visits, pages viewed, and referral sources. This data is aggregated and anonymized.

We do not collect IP addresses, cookies, or tracking technologies that could tie searches to individual users. No personal data is stored or processed in a way that allows for user identification.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used solely for internal purposes to operate, maintain, and enhance the Site. Specifically:

  • Analytics and Improvement: Anonymized search logs help us analyze trends, optimize search algorithms, and improve the relevance and performance of search results.
  • Site Maintenance: To diagnose technical issues, prevent abuse, and ensure the Site's security and integrity.

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purposes beyond improving the Site. No data is sold, rented, or shared for monetary gain.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not share, sell, or disclose any collected information with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share anonymized data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting or analytics services) solely to assist in operating the Site. These providers are contractually obligated to use the data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain its confidentiality.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or government request. We will do so only to the extent necessary and will notify you if permitted by law.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, anonymized data may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain anonymized search logs and usage data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy, typically no longer than 12 month, after which it is deleted or further anonymized.

6. Your Rights Under U.S. Privacy Laws

California Residents (CCPA Rights)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the CCPA regarding your personal information. However, since we do not collect personal information as defined under the CCPA (e.g., no identifiers linked to individuals), many of these rights may not apply. For completeness:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request details about the personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell (if any). As noted, we do not collect or sell personal information.
  • Right to Delete: You may request deletion of your personal information, though we hold none that is identifiable.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days.

Other U.S. Residents

Residents of other states with similar privacy laws (e.g., Virginia's CDPA, Colorado's CPA) may have analogous rights. Contact us for more information.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us.

8. International Users

The Site is hosted in the United States and is intended for a global audience. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer and processing.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated Policy on the Site with the "Last Updated" date revised. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
