We collect as little as possible, retain it briefly, and share it with no one beyond what is strictly required to deliver what you purchased.
No analytics. No cookies. No tracking. No marketing pixels. We collect your email only when you buy something, retain order details for a short period, and delete everything not needed for ongoing delivery. The .onion version of this site collects no IP address from you at all.
The only personal data we collect directly is your email address, and only when you make a purchase. Your email is collected by the payment processor (PayLio) at checkout and used solely to deliver your purchased guide.
Standard server access logs record your IP address, browser identifier, and time of request. These are kept for security and abuse monitoring only, retained for seven days, then deleted automatically.
What we do not collect:
This site is also available as a Tor hidden service. When you access the .onion version, Tor obscures your IP address from our server entirely — we only see a connection from a Tor relay, with no way to identify you. The .onion version supports direct cryptocurrency payment, which requires no email address at all.
If maximum privacy is your goal, use the .onion version with Monero. The full address is listed on the contact page.
The following third parties are involved in delivering your purchase. Each has its own privacy practices, governed by its own privacy policy:
We do not share your data with any party not strictly required to complete your purchase. We do not sell data, ever, under any circumstances.
Information is retained only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected:
