Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 12, 2026
Onision Wiki respects the privacy of its visitors, contributors, correspondents, and other individuals whose information may be processed through this website.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Onision Wiki may collect, how that information may be used, when it may be disclosed, how long it may be retained, and what choices may be available to you.
By accessing or using Onision Wiki, located at https://onision.wiki, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Who Operates This Website

This information may be used to operate the Site, maintain security, investigate technical problems, prevent abuse, understand general traffic patterns, and protect the integrity of the archive.
Onision Wiki does not use automatically collected information to create detailed advertising profiles about individual visitors.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Onision Wiki may use cookies, session identifiers, local storage, or similar technologies when reasonably necessary to:
- Maintain login sessions
- Authenticate authorized users
- Protect accounts and administrative functions
- Remember basic preferences
- Prevent abuse or fraudulent activity
- Maintain website functionality
- Support security and troubleshooting
Public visitors are not required to create an account merely to read the Site.
Some third-party content, including embedded videos, may cause the third-party provider to place cookies or collect technical information. Those technologies are controlled by the third party and are governed by that provider's own privacy policy.
Where reasonably possible, Onision Wiki may use privacy-enhanced embedding options intended to reduce unnecessary third-party tracking.

Authorized contributors, administrators, or technical personnel may be provided with accounts. Information associated with an authorized account may include:
- Username
- Email address
- Encrypted or hashed password information
- Login history
- IP address
- Account permissions
- Security records
- Contributions and page revisions
- Administrative actions
- Communications concerning the account
Account activity may be retained when necessary to preserve the integrity, security, and revision history of the Site.
Authorized users should not include unnecessary personal information in usernames, profile pages, edit summaries, or public contributions.
6. Information You Provide Voluntarily
Onision Wiki may receive information that you voluntarily provide by email or through another available communication method.
This may include:

In particular, you should not send passwords, Social Security numbers, full financial-account numbers, private access credentials, or other information that is unnecessary to evaluate your request.
7. Correction, Privacy, and Redaction Requests
Individuals may contact Onision Wiki to request review of material that they believe is:
- Factually inaccurate

- The reason for the request
- The requested correction, removal, or redaction
- Supporting documentation, where available
- A reliable method of contacting the requester
Requests will be reviewed in good faith.
Submission of a request does not guarantee that material will be removed, changed, or redacted. Publication decisions may consider accuracy, context, public relevance, documentary value, freedom of expression, legal obligations, evidentiary preservation, and the privacy and safety interests of affected individuals.
Onision Wiki may request reasonable identity verification when necessary to prevent impersonation, fraudulent requests, or unauthorized attempts to alter the historical record.
8. Published Archival and Documentary Material

11. Sale of Personal Information
Onision Wiki does not sell visitor personal information for money.
The Site is not intended to operate as a data broker, targeted-advertising platform, or commercial profiling service.

You access third-party websites at your own discretion and should review their privacy policies separately.
14. Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operational, historical, security, legal, and evidentiary purposes.

16. Data Breaches and Security Incidents
If Onision Wiki becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, it may investigate the incident, take reasonable steps to contain it, and provide notice where required by applicable law.
The timing and content of any notice will depend on the nature of the incident, the information involved, the potential risk to affected individuals, and applicable legal requirements.

If you access the Site from another country, information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or another location used by the Site's service providers.

19. Donations and External Payment Services
Financial support for Onision Wiki may be processed through third-party donation, membership, or payment services.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Onision Wiki does not directly receive or store full payment-card numbers entered through an external payment provider.
The payment provider may collect information under its own privacy policy, including:
- Name
- Contact information
- Billing information
- Payment details
- Transaction history
- Device and fraud-prevention information
Visitors should review the privacy policy of the relevant payment provider before completing a transaction.
Onision Wiki may receive limited transaction information, such as the supporter's name, email address, amount, date, and transaction status.
20. Email Communications
When you contact Onision Wiki by email, your message may pass through third-party email and hosting providers.
Email should not be treated as a completely secure method for transmitting highly sensitive information.
Onision Wiki does not operate a marketing mailing list unless visitors are separately informed and given an appropriate choice to subscribe.
Administrative, security, or request-related messages may be sent when necessary to respond to a communication or manage an authorized account.
21. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the Site develops, new features are introduced, service providers change, or legal requirements evolve.
Material changes will be reflected by changing the effective date at the top of the page.
When appropriate, additional notice may be provided on the Site.
Earlier versions may remain available through the page's revision history.
Continued use of the Site after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.

23. Commitment to Responsible Documentation
Onision Wiki exists to preserve evidence, provide context, and document a heavily disputed public history.
That purpose requires both transparency and restraint.
The Site's objective is to publish information necessary to evaluate public claims while avoiding the unnecessary exposure of private, sensitive, or dangerous information.
Where factual documentation and legitimate privacy interests conflict, Onision Wiki will seek a responsible balance based on context, public relevance, accuracy, safety, and applicable law.
