- lillecarl 5y agoI don't have that much of a problem with unobtrusive ads, but I do have a problem with data hoarding. How does Neeva tackle this?
- darinf 5y agoYou are in complete control. See the FAQ for more details (https://neeva.com/faq https://neeva.com/faq), but the main takeaway is data saved by Neeva is only to improve the product for you and you have the option to clear or disable such functionality. Neeva is just really transparent about that. Neeva is a tool for you and no one else. Products that show you ads can’t make such claims.
- lillecarl 5y agoThanks for the reply! I signed myself up but got put in a queue since I'm Swedish. Could I trick your system with a VPN maybe?
- darinf 5y agoYes, you can get around the geo restriction using a VPN. Note of course that the experience will not be optimized for your locale if you are outside the US (e.g., local searches for restaurants and such will not work well).
- barkerja 5y ago> How does Neeva tackle this? Neeva is a paid product. I’ve enjoyed using Neeva, but not having the ability to make it the default engine in iOS/macOS (Safari) has made it cumbersome to use.
- darinf 5y agoNeeva has a full featured free tier by the way. Glad you are enjoying it. Agree it sucks that Apple doesn’t let you choose Neeva as a default for Safari. The Neeva extensions on macOS and iOS provide a workaround that still lets you search from the URL bar.
