Is your privacy important?

We are most at times concerned about our privacy, which is a very important thing but little do we know that most of our searches reveals much about us. Well here is a graphical write-up by DuckDuckGo letting you know how your privacy is ignored.

 

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When you search Google,

 

and click on a link,

 

your search term is usually sent to that site,

 

along with your browser & computer info,

 

which can often uniquely identify you.

That’s creepy, but who cares about some random site?

 

Those sites usually have third-party ads,

 

and those third-parties build profiles about you,

 

and that’s why those ads follow you everywhere.

That’s creepy too, but who cares about some herpes ads?

 

Your profile can also be sold,

and potentially show up in unwanted places,

 

like higher prices and getting insurance.

 

But there’s more.

 

Remember your searches?

 

Google also saves them.

Your saved searches can be legally requested.

 

and then come back to bite you 

 

Or a bad Google employee could go snooping

 

Or Google could get hacked 

 

That’s why we don’t send your searches to other sites.

Or store any personal information at all.

 

That’s our privacy policy in a nutshell.

So don’t get tracked when searching.

 

After going through this you might want to consider using DuckDuckGo as searches are made anonymously thus protecting your identity.
