Privacy Policy

We take privacy very seriously and our main priority is to provide privacy to our users.

Unfortunately, many online services attempt to track us and our internet activity. Some of these services are necessary for spam prevention and to enhance overall user experience.

The purpose of this page is to provide transparency on what types of information we collect from our users and how we use it, as well as information on how you can protect your privacy while using this site.

AS OF:

✔ We have NOT received any National Security letters;

✔ We have NOT received any gag orders;

✔ We have NOT received any warrants from any government organization

By accessing and using frenschan.org, you agree to our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions as described herein.

Cookies

Cookies are used on this site to support mod login functions and for the benefit of user functionality. Cookies are not used to collect user information on this site.

Activity Logging & IP Hashing

frenschan.org logs activity on the site in order to minimize spam/attacks, allow for effective moderation (bans) and to provide basic functionality to our users. The way in which we log activity provides users with a higher level of privacy and anonymity when compared to other imageboards. When you visit this site, our server captures your IP address and immediately encrypts it into a hash (a long string of random characters). All posts you make take on the same hashed IP address. This allows us to ban your hash (if required), effectively preventing the originating IP address to post again once banned. While we can limit your ability to post on the site, we are not able to view your IP address while IP hashing is enabled. We still encourage the use of a VPN while using this site in order to maximize your personal privacy and security, see the important note below.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We reserve the right to turn off IP hashing at anytime and without warning. We may choose to disable the IP Hashing feature when the site is being actively spammed or raided. This will allow us the ability to identify the offending IP and determine IP ranges that need to be banned from accessing the site.

Third Parties

frenschan.org does not share information with any third parties, unless required by law.

Privacy 101

If you are concerned with being tracked or having your IP address revealed or leaked while using this website or any other, we suggest you use one of the following services:

VPN

A virtual private network, better known as a VPN, protects your identity and browsing activity from hackers, businesses, government agencies, and other snoops. When connecting to the internet, your data and IP address are hidden by a type of virtual tunnel. This keeps others from spying on your online activity.

Recommended VPN service: Mullvad VPN https://mullvad.net/

In addition to a VPN, we recommend using a privacy browser such as Brave as an additional safeguard to blocking advertisements and trackers: https://brave.com/

Tor

Tor (short for “The Onion Router”) is a completely free, open-source browser that helps you surf the internet anonymously. It erases your browsing history automatically with every session, and encrypts all your traffic. It also lets you access the dark web — the hidden and un-indexed websites on the internet.
