This is really interesting! What data do you collect and, more to the point, what data do you pass on to others?
- ColinHayhurst 6y agoHmm, OK, that's two big questions and goes to the core of what benefit we provide, what we do and our values. We've put answers to some of these issues and notably these questions : What data do you collect?

We are exploring working with commercial partners who want data to deliver services (shopping, ads). We will only pass along search queries and location. We will never provide IP; even though we know some partners pressure for it, or even insist on it.
