Welcome to Kiyoura, your privacy-focused search engine. We are committed to maintaining your privacy by ensuring that your online searches remain confidential. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the handling of your information.
At Kiyoura, your privacy is paramount. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses. Our search engine processes queries without creating user profiles or storing personal data.
In order to enhance the functionality and efficiency of our search engine, we log search queries anonymously. These queries are recorded without any identifiers that can link them back to you. This anonymous data is crucial for us to identify new search terms and improve result relevancy. It is strictly used for the development and refinement of our search technology and is not used for tracking or profiling. We do not retain identifiable information with these logs. Any anonymized data is deleted after a short period of time.
Currently, Kiyoura uses Google Analytics to track the number of visitors to our website. This helps us understand overall website performance and make improvements. While Google Analytics collects anonymized data (such as browser type, operating system, and general location), no personal identifiers (e.g., names or IP addresses) are linked to this data.
In the future, Kiyoura plans to transition to privacy-respecting analytics tools to align fully with our commitment to privacy. For more information about how Google Analytics handles data, you can visit Google's Privacy Policy.
We prioritize your privacy by not using cookies or any other tracking technologies. Your search activities are private and unmonitored, ensuring a neutral search experience without targeted advertising.
Your queries are processed temporarily to deliver relevant search results and are not stored on our servers, ensuring that your search history cannot be reconstructed or traced back to you. We employ industry-standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or alteration of, our operational data. However, as we do not collect personal data, your searches are inherently secure.
We do not share your search queries or personal data with third parties for advertising purposes. However, if we incorporate third-party services (such as analytics or other features) in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or offerings. Significant changes will be announced on our website before they take effect. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
