Look man. A private tracker is a bunch of dudes that run a website. That’s it. It just so happens the site hosts torrent links. It’s not Google with billions at its disposal to craft sophisticated surveillance level tech.

Most of the time things like maintaining a good ratio, banning for hit and runs, etc. are automated, done by bots. No person wants to search databases for single users.

With that said, assume admins can and will see things you post, even DMs. But that’s about it. Access to torrents on the tracker are all automatic too.

99% of private trackers use it to generate money. Either they have a deal with seedboxes, VPNs, or find others ways to monetize the site by donations, etc.

That’s it. Just use a VPN to protect yourself from actual legal threats. Don’t worry about the tracker as a vector.
