I’ve considered using kagi before, but I think this blog post finally convinced me not too: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
The quick summary is that they aren’t really privacy focused at all, don’t comply with GDPR, and generally seem ok misleading their customers. The lack-of-privacy doesn’t bother me itself, but misleading customers really troubles me. Why would I trust them with X when I know they’ve lied with Y?
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoSkimmed. Not seeing how Kagi are lying about anything. To the degree I can fault Vlad, it's in going down irrelevant rabbit holes with these folks.
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoHere’s an easy one: Vlad claims they are GDPR compliant. However, they do not provide a way to download stored personal info, as required by GDPR. This is a contradiction
- freediver 2y agoWe do, just email support@kagi.com. Please do not spread disinformation.
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoI’m glad to hear you have updated your policy.
- freediver 2y agoThat was always our policy.

- freediver 2y agoI would beg to disagree. The screenshots show that I think there is very little information to be downloaded to begin with because Kagi does not collect it, which is true. That does not mean that our policy is to ignore GDPR requests, that is a ridiculous inference to make. The article you point to is a perception of one person, unfortunately sharing screenshots out of context to create a negative narrative and exploiting a fact that we run a 100% transparent business where you can ask the CEO literally anything directly. Our policies have always and will belong in kagi.com/privacy and not on random websites. And it is hard enough to do what Kagi does even without misinformation shared in bad faith, so I'd ask you to please not do that going forward.

- pinkmuffinere 2y agoIt is against the spirit of this forum to assume bad faith. I notice that your GDPR policy is not discussed on the policy page you provided. Here’s an archive taken just now: https://archive.ph/9bnhY https://archive.ph/9bnhY
