Advocating for Algorithmic Transparency & Query Sovereignty

Privacy Policy

Our commitment to user privacy, data minimization, and low-friction delivery. No trackers, no cookies, no compromises.

PUBLISHED:

At Search for Better Search, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right, not a setting to be toggled. As an initiative advocating for trust and transparency in web discovery, we practice what we preach.

1. Data Collection & Minimization

This website is an independent informational resource.

  • No Accounts: There is no registration system, login portal, or user profile database.
  • No Comments: We do not host user comments or forums on this server, eliminating comment tracking, Gravatar hashes, or spam-detection profiling.
  • No Forms: We do not use interactive contact forms. All communication is conducted via direct, user-initiated email.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

  • No Cookies: We do not set, store, or retrieve any cookies on your browser.
  • No Local Storage: We do not use browser storage APIs such as localStorage or sessionStorage to track your session or store data.

3. Server Logging

Our site is hosted on standard web infrastructure. Like virtually all web servers, the host may temporarily log the following standard metadata for operational safety, performance monitoring, and DDOS mitigation:

  • IP address
  • Browser user-agent string
  • Date and time of the request
  • The specific page requested
  • Referrer header (if provided by your browser)

This data is kept separate from any identifying information, is never sold or shared, and is automatically rotated/deleted in accordance with standard hosting policies.

4. Third-Party Services & Links

  • No External Dependencies: This site does not load remote scripts, fonts, analytics packages (like Google Analytics), or tracking pixels. All assets are served locally from our domain.
  • External Links: Our content links to external platforms and publications. We have no control over the privacy policies of these third-party sites, and we recommend inspecting their policies if you choose to navigate to them.

5. Policy Updates

Because this site collects no user data, we will never need to update this policy to account for new ways of processing your data. Any structural changes to the hosting model that materially affect this policy will be documented here.
