Plain-language policy

Privacy without surprises.

DVNets collects only what it needs to operate the directory and protect it from abuse.

Public directory data

Net names, schedules, access details, descriptions, and opted-in attribution are public. Submitter email addresses are always private.

Preferences

Theme, timezone, saved filters, and your favorite-net list are stored locally in your browser. DVNets uses a one-way anonymous identifier only to maintain each net's aggregate favorite count. No account is required.

Abuse prevention

Submissions and verifications may retain short-lived, hashed network and browser metadata for rate limiting and moderation. Raw addresses are not kept as long-term profiles.

Analytics and sponsors

If analytics are enabled, they are aggregate and privacy-friendly. Sponsor impressions and clicks are counted without cross-site tracking or behavioral targeting.
