YOUR SEARCH PRIVACY IS UNDER ATTACK!

Blog Last Activity 9 years ago 532 views 11 comments
<strong>Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data is recorded. Major search engines capture your IP address and use tracking cookies to make a record of your search terms, the time of your visit, and the links you choose - then they store that information in a giant database. Those searches reveal a shocking amount of personal information about you, such as your interests, family circumstances, political leanings, medical conditions, and more. This information is modern-day gold for marketers, government officials, black-hat hackers and criminals - all of whom would love to get their hands on your private search data. Why should you worry? Major search engines have quietly amassed the largest database of personal information on individuals ever collected. Unfortunately, this data can all too easily fall into the wrong hands. Instead of using Google or other regular search engines you can use these two private search engines, which do NOT record your search data or collect any kind of information about you. Stay safer and search privately.</strong> <br /><strong>https://startpage.com/eng/?</strong><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/m2393uejx7/startpage_logo-220x40.gif" alt="" width="220" height="40" /><br />

Everything you do on the internet is traceable to you and your cell phone also, you can be tracked by Government agencies all the time. Orwell 1984 big brother is watching lol!

True that @beart1066, my pc is constantly cleaned and cleaned well. I use Cyberscrub weekly and CCleaner daily. It must work because I never get any spam or unsolicited mail for boys!

@Yorky a vpn is a good idea, but the information collected he is the words you search for and the results you look at. A vpn doesn't hinder them to do that. Combine that with indestructible cookies and you are as open as an open book.
@tni01 at least they don't use indestructible cookies (you can check for that yourself, if you know what you're doing), which makes it harder for them to track you, if your cookies are deleted on a regular basis.
I'm using DuckDuckGusing two years now, it's not as good as google, but by now really usable.

@Davey1965....actually, Startpage uses Google as their search engine, so the results should be identical to a normal Google search. (Read Startpage's fineprint on how it works). The Startpage search goes thru them first, which is what keeps you anonymous and from being tracked. @Yorky....yes, a VPN would provide the same anonimity. I always use a VPN when on the net and that's your best way to stay safer and anonymous wherever you go on the net. The average cost is 50-75 dollars per year, depending who you use, but it's well worth it in my opinion.

Is there any prof that Start-page and DuckDuckgo don't collect search information?
And if you go to a site, doesn't the site itself record your foot print...?
