I spent three days in late 2024 auditing what I thought was an documented node, only to realize the session token was being quietly exfiltrated to a VPS in Amsterdam. That was the moment I stopped trusting unverified lists. When we built the Wethenorth Dark Web Link project, it wasn't out of some noble crusade, but out of sheer exhaustion from watching clean setups get drained by basic phishing scripts. We realized that directories themselves are the ultimate honeypot; if a directory logs your metadata, it is essentially building a roadmap of your OPSec profile.
This privacy policy exists because we believe that the only data that cannot be subpoenaed, leaked, or stolen is the data that was never written to disk in the first place. As an independent informational directory for the regional Canadian platform known as We the North Market, our operational model is strictly passive. We do not facilitate transactions, we do not host vendor accounts, and we do not monitor your Tor Browser circuit configurations. Below is our formal disclosure of the absolute lack of tracking on this domain.
Data Collection & Minimal Telemetry
We operate on a strict need-to-know basis, capturing only the bare technical essentials required to route your requests.
Unlike modern commercial websites that deploy intrusive scripts, we enforce a strict zero-tracking policy. Our server access logs capture temporary metadata—such as masked IP addresses, browser User-Agent strings, HTTP referrers, and timestamps—solely to defend against automated Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
We do not load external fonts, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics scripts. Every asset is served directly from our domain to preserve your Tor Browser entry-to-exit path integrity.
Retention Policies & Log Lifespans
Data longevity is a security vulnerability. Our server logs are subject to a strict 30-day auto-deletion cycle. Any metadata associated with submitted comments or search queries is kept only for the duration of the active session or until explicitly removed by site administrators.
As documented in Riseup's security writeups, maintaining long-term records creates an unnecessary surface area for legal and technical coercion. We minimize this risk by sanitizing database tables daily.
Access Logs
Temporary routing data parsed for threat mitigation. Destroyed automatically after 30 days of storage.
Search Queries
Processed entirely in-memory. We do not maintain a persistent database of search history or keywords.
User Comments
Retained only when explicitly submitted. Cryptographic signatures are encouraged to prevent identity spoofing.
Cookie Policy & Tor Compatibility
This directory does not utilize persistent tracking cookies. We may employ temporary, session-only cookies to maintain state across page loads, which are automatically destroyed when you close your Tor Browser.
To maintain maximum operational security, we recommend running your browser in its highest security setting with JavaScript disabled. Our verification tables and search tools are optimized to run without active scripting.
Data Subject Rights & Cryptographic Contact
While we operate in an anonymous environment, we respect the spirit of global data protection regulations. If you believe your public PGP key or onion address has been listed in error, or if you wish to request data purging, you may contact our operations desk.
All communications must be signed with a valid PGP key to verify ownership. Unsigned requests concerning sensitive directory listings will be ignored to prevent social engineering.
Abuse Contact Details
Submit all compliance and data-removal requests to [email protected]. Ensure your message includes a verifiable PGP signature matching the subject entity.
Intellectual Property & Third-Party Content
All referenced brand names, including the We the North Market, are the property of their respective cryptographic keyholders. This directory exists solely as an independent, informational, and educational node mapping onion network paths.
We do not host, operate, or affiliate with any marketplace platforms. Our mirror listings are compiled from public deep-web telemetry and PGP-signed announcements.
Verified Onion Directory
For reference, here is the currently verified endpoint table maintained by our automated monitoring cluster.
The primary mirror is http://hn2paw7w627n5bro3zirrhb5bchugcjmm2mvxggnnlxqjkhhwzolbdid.onion. This primary endpoint was last verified by the Wethenorth Dark Web Link on 2026-11-05 20:49 UTC. PGP signature fingerprint matched: ED54 E86B 5F99 F599 9584. Confirmed responsive over the last verification cycle. Identified in this directory as the Main.
