Security
At Search.com, trust isn’t something we assume — it’s something we earn. Every time you use our platform, you’re relying on us to keep your information secure and your experience private. That’s a responsibility we take seriously, and it guides how we build our products, protect your data, and respond to new challenges.
We’re here to create smarter tools — not sketchy ones.
What Privacy Means to Us
We get it — your data is your data. We don’t take that lightly. That’s why:
- We don’t sell your personal info
- We give you options to control what you share
- We only collect what’s necessary to improve your experience
If you're using our AI tools, we’re focused on making them helpful — not nosy. You’re in charge of your own data journey here.
Security Built Into Every Layer
We include security in everything we do, not only discuss it. Our systems are made with several layers of defense, including:
- Encrypted data handling—at rest and in transit—by default
- Based on roles, access restrictions
- Safe infrastructure allies
- Ongoing observation and threat identification
Working with security experts and outside auditors, we keep ahead of risks and strengthen our defenses as the digital scene changes.
Keeping It Compliant
Though privacy rules can be complicated, you shouldn't be responsible for negotiating them. We do our share to be in line with important guidelines and standards, including:
- GDPR, or General Data Protection Rule
- Californian Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA
- SOC 2 Type II; we aim for certification.
- Industry benchmarks guide internal best practices.
For corporate clients who must satisfy particular legal criteria, we also provide Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) upon request.
Working with Third Parties
To keep things operating, occasionally we collaborate with other services such cloud providers, payment processors, and analytics tools. We only deal with providers that satisfy stringent requirements of data handling and security.
Should data be shared, it is done carefully and solely for the use of providing our services; never for resale or advertising.
For Teams and Businesses
Running a business? We’ve got you covered too.
Our enterprise and team tools include:
- Role-based user permissions
- Audit logs and usage visibility
- Optional data retention limits
- Secure collaboration features
If your organization has additional compliance needs (like HIPAA or SOC), reach out to our team. We’re actively building toward more certifications and support for regulated environments.
Bug Bounties & Ethical Hacking
Security isn’t a one-time thing — it’s a team effort. We welcome input from ethical hackers, white-hat researchers, and tinkerers who help us keep things tight.
Found something suspicious? You can report it through our bug bounty program. We offer safe harbor for responsible disclosure and reward severity-based vulnerabilities.
