Privacy & Traffic Logging

Access logs and security

Like most websites, Crimefien records technical requests made to our server. These records can include your IP address, time, page path, browser user agent, referring website, response status and transferred bytes. We use them to understand website usage, investigate errors, identify suspected automated traffic and protect site availability.

Our traffic reports classify likely bots using technical signals; those classifications are not guarantees. IP addresses do not reliably identify individual people. Apache's original access logs may contain full requested URLs; our analytics database removes query strings.

Detailed traffic analytics are normally kept for up to 30 days, and daily aggregate request counts for up to 365 days. Original Crimefien access logs are rotated daily with a 30-copy retention limit. Administrators can review technical records; they are not shown publicly.

Accounts and community features

Registered members provide a display name, email address and password. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, not plaintext. We retain saved playlists, followed channels and comments to provide member features. Deleted or moderated comments may retain limited internal records.

Crimefien uses session cookies for sign-in, security and member functions. Traffic reporting is based on server access logs rather than third-party analytics scripts.

Original YouTube creators

Crimefien displays videos through YouTube's official embedded player. YouTube may receive technical information and apply its own privacy policies when you load or interact with embedded videos. The video content and associated channel branding belong to their original creators.
