Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy outlines the data collection, retention, and sharing practices of Wethenorth Market Url Market Link (wethenorth-market-url-market-link.sbs), an independent informational resource providing verified Wethenorth Market URL mirrors and Wethenorth Market onion addresses. As a directory site, we do not operate the Wethenorth Market marketplace itself, nor do we facilitate transactions or store user credentials. Our sole purpose is to furnish accurate, PGP-verified Wethenorth Market links to assist users in accessing the marketplace securely via the Tor network. Last updated: June 2026.
Scope and Jurisdiction
This policy applies exclusively to the informational directory hosted at wethenorth-market-url-market-link.sbs and its associated subdomains. The site is governed by the laws of Canada, with particular reference to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While the directory references Wethenorth Market onion addresses, it does not constitute an endorsement, partnership, or affiliation with the marketplace, which remains a distinct legal entity operating under undisclosed jurisdiction (nominative fair use, §230).
Users accessing this site via Tor Browser or other anonymizing tools are reminded that their connection is subject to the technical constraints of the Tor network, including potential latency and circuit-level surveillance by entry guards. The directory does not log or store .onion addresses entered into the
tool, which performs cryptographic verification against the marketplace’s documented PGP signing key without transmitting user input to third parties.Data Collected and Retention Periods
The following data categories are passively collected during routine server operations. No active tracking mechanisms, such as advertising pixels or third-party analytics scripts, are deployed.
- •Server Access Logs IP addresses, user-agent strings, referrer URLs, and timestamps are recorded for each HTTP request. These logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days to facilitate security incident response and uptime monitoring of Wethenorth Market mirrors. Logs are purged automatically via cron job and are not correlated with user identities or Tor circuit identifiers.
- •Submitted Comments and Feedback Metadata associated with user-submitted comments (e.g., timestamp, comment text, optional PGP-signed headers) is stored indefinitely until the comment is removed by the submitter or moderators. No email addresses or personal identifiers are required for comment submission, though users may voluntarily include PGP keys for verification purposes.
- •Search Queries Search terms entered into the site’s internal search function are logged for 7 days to identify trends in user intent (e.g., queries for Wethenorth Market active links or Wethenorth Market working URLs). These logs are aggregated and anonymized prior to analysis and are not shared with third parties.
- •Session Cookies A transient, session-only cookie (PHPSESSID) is used to maintain user state during navigation. This cookie is deleted upon browser closure and does not persist across sessions. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are employed.
- •Third-Party Content References to Wethenorth Market and its associated Wethenorth Market onion links are made under nominative fair use doctrine. The marketplace’s name, logo, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners. No third-party content is embedded via iframes or external scripts.
- •Data Subject Rights Under PIPEDA and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data by contacting [email protected] with a PGP-signed message. Verification of identity via PGP key or other cryptographic means is required for all data subject requests.
Data Retention Metrics
Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure
No personal data collected by this site is sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties, including law enforcement agencies, without a valid court entry or subpoena issued by a Canadian judicial authority. In the event of a legal request, the site will notify affected users via the contact information provided in their PGP-signed messages, unless prohibited by law (e.g., under a gag entry).
Aggregate, anonymized data—such as the number of daily visitors or the most frequently accessed Wethenorth Market mirrors—may be published in annual transparency reports. These reports do not include personally identifiable information and are intended to provide users with insight into the site’s operational metrics.
The directory does not integrate with external services that could compromise user privacy, such as social media widgets, embedded fonts, or content fulfilment networks (CDNs). All static assets are self-hosted to mitigate the risk of third-party tracking.
User Rights and Legal Protections
Visitors to this site retain the following rights under Canadian and international privacy law. These rights are exercisable via PGP-signed email to [email protected].
Right to Access
Users may request a copy of all personal data held by the site, including server logs, comment metadata, and search queries. Requests must include a valid PGP key for secure transmission of the data. (GDPR Art. 15, PIPEDA §4.9)
Right to Rectification
Inaccurate or incomplete personal data may be corrected upon request. Users must provide evidence of the inaccuracy, such as a PGP-signed statement or cryptographic proof of identity. (GDPR Art. 16, PIPEDA §4.9.5)
Right to Erasure
Users may request the deletion of their personal data, including comments and search queries. Exceptions apply where retention is required by law (e.g., for tax or audit purposes). (GDPR Art. 17, PIPEDA §4.3.8)
Right to Restrict Processing
Users may request that their data not be processed for specific purposes, such as analytics or transparency reporting. Such requests do not affect the site’s ability to provide Wethenorth Market onion addresses or verify mirrors. (GDPR Art. 18)
Right to Data Portability
Users may request their personal data in a machine-readable format for transfer to another service. This right applies only to data provided by the user, such as comments or feedback. (GDPR Art. 20)
Right to Object
Users may object to the processing of their data for specific purposes, such as marketing or analytics. The site will honor such objections unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for processing. (GDPR Art. 21)
Security Measures and Technical Safeguards
The site employs industry-standard security practices to protect user data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Server logs are stored on encrypted volumes (AES-256) and are accessible only to authorized administrators via SSH key authentication. No plaintext passwords or credentials are stored in logs or databases.
Access to the
tool is rate-limited to prevent abuse, and all user-submitted .onion addresses are sanitized prior to cryptographic verification. The PGP signing key used for mirror verification is stored offline and is rotated annually to mitigate the risk of compromise. According to forum data from 2025, PGP-signed mirrors reduce the incidence of phishing attacks by 42% compared to unsigned alternatives.Users are encouraged to access the site via Tor Browser with JavaScript disabled to minimize the risk of fingerprinting or session hijacking. While the site does not require JavaScript for core functionality, certain interactive elements (e.g., the
) may be degraded without it.Amendments and Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, operational practices, or technological advancements. Material changes will be announced via a prominent notice on the site’s homepage and will take effect 30 days after publication. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically for updates.
Historical versions of this policy are archived and may be requested via PGP-signed email to [email protected]. The current version is dated June 2026 and supersedes all prior iterations.
