Purpose

This platform provides public access to documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, including court records, DOJ disclosures, flight logs, and other official documents. It exists to:

• Support research
• Improve transparency
• Enable independent analysis
• Preserve public access

The documents speak for themselves.

Document Authenticity & Preservation

We adhere to the following integrity principles:

• No Modifications — Documents are not edited, rewritten, summarized, or altered.
• Redactions Preserved — All redactions remain exactly as released by the issuing authority.
• Original Filenames Maintained — Files retain their original naming conventions whenever available.
• Source Citations Provided — Each document includes a citation or reference to its original release location (e.g., court docket, DOJ release, congressional publication, or agency archive).
• Release Metadata Displayed — Where possible, release batch information and dates are documented.

Document Sources

All documents in this archive were downloaded directly from the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI, and Congressional Oversight Committees websites. These materials were publicly released as part of official disclosures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The archive includes court records, evidence files, correspondence, flight logs, contact books, OIG reports, and other official documents from the Epstein Files.

Search & Indexing

Government repositories often publish large document sets in static or scanned formats that are difficult to search. This archive enhances accessibility by:

• Applying improved OCR where necessary
• Enabling full-text search across documents
• Semantic AI search for finding conceptually related documents
• LLM-powered Q&A for intelligent document analysis
• Standardizing indexing for consistency
• Structuring files into logical categories
• Removing broken links or inaccessible file paths

These improvements affect only discoverability — not content.

Verification & Source Integrity

Users are encouraged to verify documents against the original source links provided. This archive does not create new primary material and does not reinterpret official documents. It provides an organized access layer to materials already released to the public.

Neutrality

This platform does not endorse or promote any narrative, theory, or interpretation. It exists solely to make public records searchable, verifiable, and preserved exactly as released.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Epstein Files Public Archive ("the Site", "we", "us"), how it is used, and the choices available to you. The Site is a public, searchable mirror of government-released documents and is not affiliated with any government agency.

By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

Information We Collect

• Server & security logs. Like most websites, our servers automatically record request data including IP address, approximate geographic location (derived from IP), browser/user-agent, referring page, requested URLs, and timestamps. This is used for security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, and aggregate traffic analytics.
• Feedback you submit. If you use the feedback form, we collect the email address and message you provide so we can review and respond to issues. Submissions are protected by Google reCAPTCHA.
• Local browser storage. We store small preferences in your browser's localStorage (not transmitted to us) such as your age-verification confirmation, dismissed-banner state, category-exclusion preferences, and a counter used to occasionally show a donation prompt.

We do not require accounts, and we do not knowingly collect names, addresses, or payment details directly. Donations are processed entirely by third-party payment providers (see below).

Cookies & Similar Technologies

The Site itself uses minimal first-party storage as described above. In addition, third-party partners (advertising, anti-spam, and analytics providers) may set cookies or use similar technologies on your device to deliver and measure services. Cookies used for advertising may be used to personalize ads based on your browsing.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized advertising as described in the "Your Choices" section.

Advertising

We use third-party advertising partners to help cover server and operating costs and keep this archive free. When advertising is enabled, these partners may collect and process data (including device identifiers, cookies, and usage information) to serve and measure ads.

• Google. We work with Google and other advertising vendors. Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick/DART cookie) to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other sites. You can learn more and manage preferences at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Analytics & Spam Protection

• Google reCAPTCHA. The feedback form uses reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent spam and abuse. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• Aggregate analytics. We and our advertising partner may collect aggregate, non-identifying statistics about Site traffic and performance.

Donations & Affiliate Links

If you choose to donate, payments are handled by third-party processors (such as PayPal, Stripe, Crypto.com, GitHub Sponsors, or Ko-fi). We never receive or store your full payment card or wallet details; those are governed by each provider's own privacy policy. Cryptocurrency transactions are public by nature of the blockchain.

The Site may include affiliate links (for example, Amazon Associates). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. Affiliate partners may set cookies to attribute purchases. This does not increase the price you pay.

How We Use Information

• To operate, secure, and improve the Site and its search features.
• To prevent abuse, fraud, scraping, and to enforce rate limits.
• To respond to feedback and support requests.
• To display advertising that helps fund the Site.
• To understand aggregate usage and performance.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with the service providers described above strictly to provide these functions, or where required by law.

Children's Privacy

This Site contains material related to a criminal investigation that may be disturbing and is intended for adults. The Site requires visitors to confirm they are at least 18 years old.

If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us so we can remove it.

Data Retention & Security

Security and traffic logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes and then rotated or deleted. We apply reasonable technical measures to protect data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
