i thank for your info
i just want to know this site is safe (really)
i already uploaded 2 torrents btw
Our site is as safe as we can possibly make it. With that being said, there are a few areas where our efforts alone may not be enough to protect your privacy.
If the video(s) you're referring to were downloaded from a site or studio that requires a paid subscription for which you have paid, there is a good chance that anything you download from that site is marked with an invisible watermark that ties that particular copy of the video to your account on that site. If you have paid for such a subscription and downloaded the video(s) in question from such a site, and you do not properly remove the invisible watermarking, it can be traced back to your paid account with that site/studio.
Also, we highly recommend the use of a VPN that does not log anything at least on the device for which you download and/or seed torrents, even if you do not upload anything new to the site. This is because when you download or seed a torrent, your IP address becomes visible in the peers pool to anyone else in the pool. There is no way for us to be able to prevent this. If there were, we'd already be doing it.
From your IP address, someone could in theory contact your ISP and obtain your information as the registered subscriber of the connection that had that IP address at a specific date/time. With a VPN that does not log anything, this adds a layer of protection to your identity by ensuring that your real IP address, and by extension, your internet provider, is not visible to just anyone in the peers pool, and that trying to get your information from the VPN provider would effectively be a dead end, as your VPN provider cannot give them information they do not have.
As for the site itself, we do not under any circumstances ever, sell, trade, or otherwise hand out information on any of our users. We have actually gone to great lengths to ensure that all our users are able to have confidence in and be able to trust the security of their privacy within the site. Any personally identifiable information (such as email address) are only visible to selected staff on a need to know basis. If you set your profile security setting to "strong", this will also hide your username when you give thanks (and even SBP) on a torrent.
As well, any information that ties your account on our site to any torrent that you are either seeding or leeching, as well as any information that links your account on the site as the account that uploaded any given torrent is also only visible to certain staff. To just anyone, the account that uploaded any given torrent always shows as "Anonymous". When a user presses the button to send you as the uploader a PM from the torrent details page, it will say they are sending a message to "anonymous uploader". In their sent box in the messages app, it will also say they have sent a message to "anonymous uploader".
There is one thing to be aware of though. There is one and only one time when your username as the uploader of a torrent will become visible to another user, but whether or not this information is shown depends entirely on you. If a user sends you a PM as the uploader of a torrent through the details page, you will only appear as "anonymous uploader" until such a time as you reply to the PM. When and ONLY when you choose to reply to the message will your username finally become visible to the other person. If you do not reply to the PM though, the message will forever show as being sent to "anonymous uploader".
So... The choice of whether or not to reveal yourself to another user as the uploader of a torrent in this case is entirely YOUR choice.
Lastly, as an optional security measure to help our users protect the privacy and integrity of their account, we now offer both 2FA and passkey authentication for your user account. When these options are setup, this means that even if someone were to get their hands on your password, your password alone is not enough to be able to login to your account, which ensures that they would also not be able to gain access to any information related to your account, even if that information is visible to you. With one of these options setup, the person logging in with your password would also have to have physical access to your computer, phone, or tablet, AND would also need to know the PIN/Password to unlock (or login) to that device, or would need one of your fingerprints (if bio-metrics is enabled on that device) in order to finish logging into your account.
