Ixquick Protects Your Privacy !
The only search engine that deletes your personal data.
Your privacy is under attack !
Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded.
Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database.
The identity profiles that can be constructed from this cloud of information represent modern day gold for marketers.
But government officials, hackers and even criminals also have an interest in getting their hands on your personal search data.
And sooner or later they will...
What could happen ?
Consider the following story:
In August, the online world was jarred by the AOL privacy scandal:
AOL released three months' worth of aggregated search data from 650,000 of its users, publishing all the details in an online database. This database is still searchable. It is an absolute eye-opener to see the potential for privacy nightmares.
—>Enter a "Search Keyword" and find who searched for it
—>Then click on a "User ID" to find what else this user searched for
Shocked ? You are not alone.
When we search, we share our most private thoughts with our computers.
These private thoughts should be safe.
Ixquick's position:
You have a right to privacy.
Your search data should never fall into the wrong hands.
The only real solution is deleting your data.
We delete our users' privacy data within 48 hrs.
We are the first and only search engine to do so.
Our initiative is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response!
Ixquick will continue on its mission to offer you the best results in full privacy!
