    Dear reader,

    None of this is new to http://ixquick.com. Although a relatively small search engine we are considered the industry leader when it comes to search Privacy. As a rule, we delete our users' IP addresses within 48 hrs and do NOT store any unique user ID cookies.
    This has been our practice since June 2006, when we became the world's first search engine to take this pioneering step.

  • A very clear concept
    Dear Reybar,

    Your comment is not correct.
    Just a list of searches alone can not breach your Privacy.
    AOL released not only search terms, but also unique 6 or 7-digit user numbers.
    These user numbers made it possible to combine the otherwise completely random search terms into unique user profiles.
    Without this "glue" ,the millions of individual search terms would have been relatively harmless.

    Since Ixquick.com deletes its user's IP address from its log-files there simply is no "glue" to build a user's profile.
    This safeguards the Privacy of Ixquick.com users.
