Good question! Like most private search engines, we make money from contextual ads. These ads are based on your search query, not your personal data.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Everyone should read privacy policy before using any software or service..

Always, and in full. Can take a while before I can use the service, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Took me an afternoon to read all those documents and linked documents before I installed Civilization 6 on Steam, and almost decided to send it back.

Yesterday i tried to read the new twitter terms privacy policy etc, after a few lines it descended into walls of text, I would have read it all, if it had been simplified, but that would be too easy.

Just very perfunctory. If I want (or need… 🥺) to use a product, there's not much of a choice.

I use TOSdr. No time to read a lot so it covers important parts.

We need to change that. Users should always have the choice to use a privacy first product!
