What WebMynd does is covered in our FAQ: http://www.webmynd.com/html/faq.html http://www.webmynd.com/html/faq.html Depending on the settings, WebMynd does collect some search and browsing information. We never reveal this information to third parties. The information is not exposed to other users (even in aggregate / anonymized form). WebMynd includes the ability to save and index (on our servers) your browsing history so you can find things again faster. This is disabled by default in the Hacker News Search version. You can turn on recording of history and select history search on Google with a couple of clicks if you would like to. More information on that here: http://www.webmynd.com/html/help.html http://www.webmynd.com/html/help.html We do gather data of how many searches are performed, how users interact with our UI and which sources are generating click-throughs all to try and make the service better. I think this is standard practice for search engines / aggregators and most users expect that.
