Privacy policy
MarsDNM sets no cookies, runs no analytics or tracking scripts, and has no forms, accounts or comments. Fonts and images load from darknet-mars.com itself, so reading a page contacts no other server. The one record a visit leaves is the access log written by the server's host. This covers every page on the site, from the Mars Market overview to the guides.
What the host's access log records
The server that delivers darknet-mars.com writes a line to its access log for each request it answers, as almost every web server does. A standard line holds:
- IP address
- The address the request arrived from. Read through Tor Browser, that is the address of a Tor exit relay shared by many Tor users, not yours.
- Date and time
- When the request arrived, to the second.
- Request
- The page or file asked for, such as
/pgp, and whether it was delivered. - Referring page
- The page that linked here, when your browser sends one.
- User agent
- The browser's description of itself: its name, its version and, usually, the operating system.
Like any record held on a server, the log can be obtained by authorities with legal power over the host.
When you follow a link off the site
A link to the Tor Project, the Monero project or any other outside site takes you to that site's servers, under its own logging and privacy policy. Your browser may tell it you came from MarsDNM; Tor Browser and other current browsers send only the domain, darknet-mars.com, not the address of the page you were reading.
Email to admin
The contact address is a Proton Mail mailbox. An email brings admin your address, what you wrote, and the headers your mail provider adds. The site has no cookies or accounts that could tie an email to a visit. A reply goes to the address you wrote from, and the contact page covers writing from one that does not carry your name.
