Privacy Policy

Welcome to Search or Type URL (hereafter referred to as the “Service,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a positive user experience. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your information, including what data is collected, why it is collected, and how it is used.

Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the terms set forth below. If you do not agree with these practices, you should discontinue using our Service immediately.

Information We Collect

Non-Personal Information

• Log Data: Whenever you use the Service, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends, including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and timestamps. This data helps us analyze trends, manage the Service, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information.
• Aggregated Usage Data: We may collect generic details about the pages or features you access within our Service. This aggregated data does not reveal any personal identity details but allows us to understand user behavior and improve functionality.

Personal Information

• Voluntary Submissions: If you choose to sign up for an account, newsletter, or provide feedback, we may collect your name and email address. We only collect personal information that you voluntarily and knowingly provide.
• Search Queries (Optional): By default, Search Google or type a URL does not store your search queries. However, certain advanced features (such as personalized search history or user account sync) may require temporary storage of queries for the duration of your session or for personalized suggestions. We will explicitly inform you if a feature involves storing your search terms.

How We Use Your Information

• Service Improvements: The data we collect (both log data and optional personal information) is primarily used to analyze user activity, diagnose technical issues, and refine our Service’s performance.
• Personalization (if applicable): If you opt-in to any personalized features or advanced search history, we may temporarily store search data to tailor search recommendations or results. We never sell or share this data with external parties for marketing or profiling purposes.
• Communication: If you provide an email address (for example, through an optional account or feedback form), we may send you service updates, feature announcements, or respond to direct inquiries. You can unsubscribe from non-critical communications at any time.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

• Cookie Usage: Our Service may use cookies (small text files placed on your device) to personalize your experience, remember user preferences, and collect usage analytics. Cookies help us keep track of user sessions, detect repeat visits, and maintain continuity of user settings.
• Third-Party Services: We may integrate third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar platforms, which use cookies or tracking pixels to help us understand traffic and user interactions. These services gather data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

If you prefer to disable cookies, you can adjust your browser settings. However, doing so may limit certain functionalities of our Service.

Sharing & Disclosure of Information

• Service Providers: We may share non-personal data with contracted vendors (such as hosting providers, analytics tools, or email services) to help run our Service. These vendors are authorized to use your data only for purposes explicitly outlined by us, and they adhere to confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with legal obligations, (b) protect and defend our rights or property, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect public or personal safety.
• Aggregated or De-Identified Data: We reserve the right to share aggregated or de-identified data with affiliates or partners for analytics, marketing, or other lawful uses. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

Data Security

We employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Despite these safeguards, no data transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Service at your own risk.
