Privacy Policy

Information We Do Not Collect

Most websites collect substantial amounts of visitor data — IP addresses, browser fingerprints, click patterns, session recordings, and cross-site tracking identifiers. This site collects none of that. The following list documents what is explicitly absent from our infrastructure:

• No cookies. The site sets zero cookies — no session cookies, no persistent cookies, no third-party cookies. Your browser's cookie storage is not touched.
• No analytics. We do not run Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, or any other analytics platform. No JavaScript tracking snippets are loaded.
• No tracking pixels. No 1×1 pixel images, no beacon scripts, no conversion tracking from any advertising network.
• No user accounts. There is no registration, no login, no password storage. You cannot create an account on this site because the functionality does not exist.
• No forms. The site contains no input forms that capture personally identifiable information. No email collection, no newsletter signups, no contact forms that store submissions.

This is not a privacy policy that describes what we collect and how we protect it. This is a privacy policy that states we do not collect data in the first place.

Tor and Anonymity Considerations

This site is accessible via the regular internet (clearnet). We do not currently operate a .onion mirror of this informational site — the verified links we publish point to the We The North market's own onion addresses, which are only accessible through Tor.

We recommend that all visitors use the Tor Browser when accessing this site. While we do not track visitors, your internet service provider and network administrator can potentially see that you visited this domain. Tor eliminates that visibility by routing your connection through encrypted relays.

The We The North market itself is designed for privacy-conscious users, supporting both Bitcoin and Monero for transactions. Monero in particular offers protocol-level transaction privacy through ring signatures — users who access the market through our verified links benefit from both Tor's network-level anonymity and cryptocurrency's transaction-level privacy.

For step-by-step instructions on setting up Tor Browser and accessing the market securely, see the access guide on our homepage.
