Data Minimization and Zero-Logs Policy
http://hn2paw7w627n5bro3zirrhb5bchugcjmm2mvxggnnlxqjkhhwzolbdid.onionThis directory is an independent informational resource designed to help visitors safely access WeTheNorth Market. We collect the absolute minimum data required to provide verification services and maintain uptime. Below, we explain exactly what we log, how long we keep it, and your rights under GDPR and CCPA.
Our Role as an Independent Directory
WeTheNorth Onion Link is not affiliated with WeTheNorth Market. Our purpose is to document verified mirrors of the marketplace and provide safety guidance for visitors who already know the market exists. We do not host the marketplace itself, nor do we facilitate any transactions.
Because we operate in a high-risk environment, we take data minimization seriously. Every piece of data we collect is either required for verification (like uptime checks) or mandated by law (like abuse reporting). We do not use tracking pixels, third-party analytics scripts, or advertising networks. Our server logs are kept for the shortest time possible and are never shared with third parties.
