Privacy policy

Last updated August 2026

Tenthon is an index of public Telegram channels, groups, and bots. This page explains what information passes through the site and what doesn't.

What's stored

Listing data

Name, description, profile image, subscriber count, and category for each channel, group, or bot — all pulled from Telegram's own public preview page, the same page anyone sees when they open a t.me link in a browser.

The link itself

The public t.me/username URL, used to route people to the real Telegram page.

None of this is private information — it's exactly what's already visible to anyone who opens the link on Telegram.

What's not collected

No accounts, sign-ups, or logins anywhere on the site — searching, adding a link, and updating a link all work without one.
No names, emails, phone numbers, or other personal details are asked for or stored.
Search terms aren't tied to any identity or saved as search history.
No data is sold or shared with advertisers.

Bot protection

The Add Link and Update Link pages use Cloudflare Turnstile, a checkbox challenge that filters out automated abuse. Completing it may involve a short-lived token issued by Cloudflare — governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy, not by Tenthon.

Removing a listing

Listings are re-checked against Telegram whenever someone runs Update Link on them. If a channel or group has fallen below the subscriber requirement, or is no longer reachable on Telegram at all, it's removed automatically — no request needed.

To report a listing for any other reason, reach out through the Tenthon Telegram channel.

Tenthon only indexes what's already public on Telegram. If you manage a channel, group, or bot and don't want it listed, use Update Link to have it removed, or reach out via the Telegram channel above.
