The Site provides information, documentation, news, and calls to action related to ongoing civil litigation involving Equibit Group Ltd., Chris Horlacher, and related matters, including allegations concerning the Canadian justice system and rule of law. It also offers ways for visitors to support the effort (e.g., donations via third-party platforms, spreading awareness, or contacting us).

  • Other communications: Information you send us via email or other means related to the Site or the litigation.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage and technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, referring/exit pages, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar tools for essential site functionality, analytics, security, and performance. These help us understand how the Site is used and protect against threats (the Site has experienced security incidents in the past).

Donation-Related Information

  • Donations are processed through third-party platforms such as GoFundMe or cryptocurrency wallets (Bitcoin, Monero). We do not directly collect or store payment card details, banking information, or private keys on the Site. Any personal information provided to those platforms is governed by their respective privacy policies.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (e.g., health, biometric, or precise location data) beyond what is voluntarily provided in contact messages.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you.
  • Send updates about the litigation, Site news, or related matters if you subscribe or request them.

  • Analyze usage to improve content and user experience.
  • Comply with legal obligations, enforce our rights, or respond to lawful requests (e.g., court orders related to the ongoing litigation).
  • Support the public documentation and advocacy purposes of the Site.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may share information in these limited circumstances:

  • Business transfers: In the event of a reorganization or similar event involving Equibit Group Ltd. or related assets (unlikely given the nature of the Site).
  • With your consent: Otherwise, only as you direct or agree.

The Site may use essential cookies for functionality and security, and analytics cookies to understand traffic and improve the Site. You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or receive notices). Disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including responding to inquiries, maintaining Site security and records related to the litigation, complying with legal obligations, or resolving disputes. Contact form messages and related correspondence may be retained for the duration of the relevant legal proceedings or longer if required. Aggregate or anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include security monitoring, given past incidents involving the Site and related systems. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
