Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

At hbubli.cc, we employ limited data collection practices to ensure the security and optimal performance of our services. The information we gather includes the following:

The timestamp of each user request
IP addresses of our users
The specific URL path associated with each request
Status codes indicating the outcome of each request
User agents identifying the software and device used by each user
The size of each request made
Referrer information, which may include the site that referred you to hbubli.cc

We process this data based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the security and proper functioning of our services (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We retain this access log data for a brief period of one day. (Not including private services.) Subsequently, the data is automatically purged, and a new log is generated. This information is exclusively utilized to safeguard our platform against potential security threats and misuse.

All connections to hbubli.cc are encrypted via HTTPS, and access logs are stored securely with strict access control. Logs are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Search Queries

We want to assure our users that we do not store or record search queries performed through the SearXNG or 4get parts of our site beyond what is strictly necessary for technical operation. The only case where a query may appear in our logs is when the GET method is used, as the query becomes part of the URL. This may happen if you enable the GET method in your SearXNG settings. These entries are only stored temporarily in our access logs, which are automatically rotated and purged every 24 hours. Since 4get exclusively uses the GET method, its search queries are always present in the temporary access logs during this short retention period.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

hbubli.cc may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and ensure the website functions optimally. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.

We may use cookies for the following purposes:

To remember user preferences or settings
To maintain session states for enhanced usability

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our site and are not used for advertising or profiling. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the website may not function properly without them.

We do not use analytics tools, advertising trackers, or profiling technologies. Your activities on hbubli.cc are not monitored beyond the minimal logging described above.

We do not share your personal information, including the data collected as described above, with third parties unless required by applicable law. Some search requests may be routed through third-party proxy servers (e.g., provided by Webshare.io) to ensure reliable search results and stable service. These proxies are used solely to forward queries to the target search engines and do not store, track, or log any personal information about users.

Handling of Security Incidents

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will publish a notice on hbubli.cc to inform users, as we do not store personal identifiers such as email addresses.

Your Right to Data Removal

Although hbubli.cc only stores minimal information (temporary server logs and optional cookies for preferences), you still have the following rights under applicable data protection laws:

Right to Access – You can request details about any data we currently hold about you (e.g., access logs or cookie data).
Right to Rectification – If any stored data is incorrect (such as an IP associated with you), you can request a correction.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) – You can request the deletion of your data at any time. Since most data is automatically deleted within 24 hours, this generally applies to temporary logs or cookie-related information.
Right to Restrict Processing – You may request that we stop processing your data under certain conditions.
Right to Object – You can object to the processing of your data if it is based on legitimate interest.
Right to Withdraw Consent – If you have consented to any optional features (such as saving preferences via cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time by clearing your cookies.

To exercise these rights, contact us here. We will respond as required by applicable data protection laws.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on this page.
