This Privacy Policy describes how Search ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website. Search is an information and search experience operated as a small independent publisher. We try to collect the minimum data necessary to operate the site and to keep our advertising-supported model sustainable. By using Search, you agree to the practices described below.
Information we collect
When you visit Search, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the URLs you request. We use this information to operate the site, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse. We do not require you to register an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or other personal details unless you choose to send us a message through the contact page.
Search queries
When you enter a query, it is sent to Google's Programmable Search Engine to return results, and to our server to generate a brief AI overview. We do not associate search queries with personally identifying information, and we do not sell or rent search query logs. Google's handling of the query is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Cookies and advertising
Search uses Google AdSense and Google's Programmable Search Engine to display ads. These services may set cookies and use device identifiers to serve personalized ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Disabling personalization will not remove ads, but the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests. See our Cookies Policy for more detail on the specific cookies used.
Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. We share limited technical information with the third-party service providers who help us operate the site — our hosting provider, analytics provider, AI overview provider, and advertising partners — under contractual obligations consistent with this policy. We may also disclose information when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Search, our users, or others.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export information we hold about you. Because Search collects very little personal data, most requests resolve quickly. To make a request, email us using the contact page and include enough information for us to verify your identity. You may also configure your browser to block cookies, use private browsing, or use ad-blocking software; doing so may change how Search works but will not prevent you from reading content.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date below and, for material changes, post a brief notice on the homepage. Continued use of Search after an update means you accept the revised policy. Last updated: this year.
