Your Privacy
We are committed to the privacy and security of our users. Our
software is completely safe to install and use: it is unobtrusive, easy to
deactivate and remove, and does not transmit any information in a manner
that can identify a user. Unidentifiable statistics are sent to our system
regarding usage of toolbar features. The statistics are completely anonymous
and do not contain any personal identification. Toolbar users are allowed to
disable statistical data transfer at any given time. We do not match
individual users with their specific Web or toolbar usage and don't share
the specifics with anybody. Most importantly, our software does only what
it's supposed to do - help users search and surf more effectively. Moreover,
our toolbar:
|
 |
DOES NOT spy on your browsing habits. |
|
|
DOES NOT launch pop-up or pop-under
advertisements. Our business model is based on displaying sponsored links on
search results pages (advertisers pay per click, not per appearance). |
|
|
DOES NOT "hijack" your searches. |
|
|
DOES NOT modify pages you visit. |
|
|

be removed in seconds by using a standard uninstaller. |
|
|
DOES NOT create security holes: The toolbar

computer. |

DOES NOT and will not sell or rent your email
address and other personal information. |
Toolbar Privacy Policy
The toolbar does NOT SPY after the user and does not transfer any personally
identifiable information such as a name or an E-mail address, ensuring complete
anonymity for users.
When used, the toolbar sends unidentifiable usage statistics regarding usage of
its features to Conduit's servers (Conduit is the service that powers the
toolbar). The statistics are completely anonymous, do not contain any personal
identification or information in a manner that can identify a user, and no IP
addresses are stored. Users are allowed to disable statistical data transfer at
any given time. We do not match individual users with their specific Web or
toolbar usage and don't share the specifics with anybody. A unique id is used
solely for the purpose of knowing how many people are actively using the toolbar
and it is not transferred along with any specific usage information. This unique
id is not transmitted during any other use of the toolbar.
All statistic information is securely stored on Conduit.com and is accessible
only to us.
This information is used in order to improve the overall toolbar experience
based on how the toolbar is being used.
This is the usage information that is transferred during use of the toolbar:
