How we deal with your private data

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy has always been quite simple: We don't log almost anything, nor do we send out any spam. We just want people to be able to use torrents without any fears.We do want to point out what data gets logged, in case you want to remain completely anonymous.

We temporarily save all the search queries done through our site to be able to make statistics and present you with search clouds. This query log gets deleted 7 days after the search was performed.In some rare cases, if you trigger our anti-spam system, we also save your IP address along with your search.We manually check the IPs and searches that triggered the anti-spam system and afterwards we either block the spammer's IP or delete the log file.

Third-party Advertisements
We use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements on YourBittorrent.com.There are two types of advertisements. The ones that load from our servers, and the ones that load directly from the servers of the advertisers.Advertisements that we serve ourselves, don't place any cookies on your browser, nor save any of your private data anywhere. For this reason, you might still see advertisements for a product, even while you have already bought it.When an advertisement loads directly from the advertiser's server, the advertiser can see your IP and browser data, but they can never access your personal or user data.In the course of serving advertisements, our third-party advertisers may place a unique cookie on your browser to keep track of advertisements you have seen already.Such cookie is encrypted and also contains no personal information.
