Verizon Media launches privacy-focused search engine, OneSearch
14 Janeiro 2020 - 2:00PM
Verizon Media today announced the launch of OneSearch, a new
consumer search experience with enhanced privacy features.
Available for free today on desktop and mobile web at
www.onesearch.com, OneSearch doesn't track, store, or share
personal or search data with advertisers, giving users greater
control of their personal information in a search context.
Businesses with an interest in security can partner with Verizon
Media to integrate OneSearch into their privacy and security
products, giving their customers another measure of control.
“We deeply believe in consumer trust and choice, both for our
user community and our partners,” said Michael Albers, Head of
Consumer Product, Verizon Media. “In support of our commitment to
trust and transparency, we are excited to launch OneSearch, an
innovative new online search experience built for privacy-minded
searchers. With it, you can search the internet with increased
confidence, knowing your personal and search data isn't being
tracked, stored, or shared with advertisers."
OneSearch’s privacy-focused features for consumers include:
- No cookie tracking, retargeting, or personal profiling
- No sharing of personal data with advertisers
- No storing of user search history
- Unbiased, unfiltered search results
- Encrypted search terms
In addition, with Advanced Privacy Mode enabled, OneSearch’s
encrypted search results link will expire within an hour, adding
another layer of privacy in the event that multiple people use the
same device or if a search results link is shared with a
friend.
“This is in line with our strong commitment to lead the industry
over the last couple decades,” added Albers. “We are excited to
evolve further, along with our partners and users, delivering a
brand-new, privacy-minded experience for the search ecosystem.”
To allow for a free search engine experience, OneSearch is an
ad-supported platform. Ads will be contextual, based on factors
like search keywords, not cookies or browsing history. For example,
if someone searches for "flights to Paris," they may see ads for
travel booking sites or airlines that travel to Paris.
OneSearch is immediately available today for the North American
market on desktop and mobile web. It will be available via mobile
app on Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad) later this month, with
availability in other countries coming soon.
