Simple Privacy Policy
« on: June 14, 2013, 02:25:40 PM »
Why does a privacy policy have to be so complicated, that after reading it, you don't know what you have read?

Why can't it be simple, like this?

DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. That is our privacy policy in a nutshell. The rest of this page tries to explain why you should care.

I stopped using Google because of their privacy policy, and now I'm through with Yahoo Search.  I'm going to give this new search engine a chance.

If a company doesn't collect information in the first place, then it can't share it with the government.

All this Google paranoia has got to stop already. If it was so bad ans so true then Google as a company would be shut down.

Well, why are these users not going here and they can read what they like to read: http://www.scroogled.com/
They can even see the video, in the hope they won't come back here...

Google Search Competitor DuckDuckGo Got Record Traffic Following The PRISM Revelations

Business InsiderBy Megan Rose Dickey
1 hour 58 minutes ago

Search engine DuckDuckGo saw a record number of searches this week, according to VentureBeat.

On Thursday, DuckDuckGo clocked 2.5 million search queries, a 33% increase over last Thursday. On Wednesday, users made 2.35 million search queries.

With news of the PRISM program, people seem to be becoming more skeptical of the services they use on the Internet, and how secure their information is.

DuckDuckGo doesn't track your clicks across the Web, unlike Google. So if the government were to come knocking on DuckDuckGo's doors, seeking information, they would have no way to tie that information to individual users.
