Privacy policy
How this NorthBits instance processes personal data
NorthBits
Site brand below is the product display name for this instance — not by itself a counsel-approved legal entity or data-controller name.
Controller contact
A legal controller name is not configured for this instance yet (pending counsel naming and operator env). Support email below is an operational contact when set — not a substitute for a named controller. The site brand is not a counsel-approved legal entity name.
Support email: [email protected]
Contact details come from this instance’s configuration. The operator must confirm identity and contacts with counsel before treating this block as final.
Data controller
A counsel-named legal controller is not configured for this instance yet. Identity of the data controller is pending — do not treat the site brand as the named controller. When a support address is shown above, use it for privacy requests; confirm the eventual controller name with counsel before production.
Data we process
- Account: username, email, password hash, language, timezone, preferences
- Sessions and security events (IP/user-agent at login)
- Tracker: passkey hash, peer announce, upload/download bytes, ratio
- Content: torrents, forum, messages, reports, notifications
- Technical logs needed to run and secure the service
Purpose
Operating this private community: authentication, moderation, abuse prevention, ratio accounting, and technical troubleshooting. We do not sell your data or ship third-party advertising trackers in the product.
Retention and security
Passwords are hashed with Argon2id. Session cookies are HttpOnly. Peer and log retention follows operator defaults (sessions TTL, peer timeout, security jobs) documented for operators — not a counsel-approved public schedule. Members can request export or account deletion under Settings → Privacy where enabled. Confirm concrete periods and backup lag with counsel before production.
Your choices
Under Settings you can control profile visibility and notification preferences. TOTP is recommended. Contact the site operator (support address configured for this instance) for privacy requests the self-service UI does not cover.
This privacy page is honest operator documentation for a lawful private community — not a substitute for a counsel-drafted privacy notice. Adapt controller identity, retention, and contact details before production use.
