We need a privacy contract similar to Richard Stallman's GNU General Public License. Something standard that both parties can quickly understand and agree to.

Idea: A new competing search engine could release a General Privacy Agreement along with their search service.
- ibsulon 17y agoIf only search engines weren't expensive to launch and run... it's about making the money back.
- by 17y agoMaybe this would be a good starting point: https://www.ixquick.com/eng/protect-privacy.html https://www.ixquick.com/eng/protect-privacy.html They claim to be "The only search engine that does not record your IP address."
- nfnaaron 17y agoThank you for that. Very interesting meta-search engine, clean results. It appears that Google is not among the engines they use. I like that they don't record your IP, and that they offer https access. Hard to say whether they really do what they say, but they do have the European Privacy Seal, for whatever that's worth. I'm using it now to see how I like it, so far so good.

- willwagner 17y agoNot a privacy contract but Ask.com has a feature called AskEraser that will remove all your personal information. http://sp.ask.com/en/docs/about/askeraser.shtml http://sp.ask.com/en/docs/about/askeraser.shtml
