Privacy

Your search. Your privacy. No advertising profile.

FuuckGoogle is built around a simple principle: a search engine should not need to monitor your life, predict your behavior, or turn your questions into advertising data in order to provide useful results.

We do not use your searches to target advertisements. We do not sell your search history to advertisers or data brokers. We do not allow personal information to influence paid placements because FuuckGoogle does not sell search positions.

We are building search for people — not profiles.

What happens when you search?

When you submit a search, the query is sent to the FuuckGoogle server for processing. The server may then send the query to the external search provider currently used to retrieve candidate web results.

The external search request is made by FuuckGoogle’s server-side infrastructure rather than directly from your browser. FuuckGoogle then processes the returned results before displaying them.

This processing may include:

• Normalizing URLs
• Removing duplicate results
• Limiting unnecessary repetition from the same domain
• Applying source-diversity rules
• Prioritizing relevant language and contextual signals
• Applying optional AI-assisted reranking
• Selecting the final results shown on the page

Our current search-result provider is:

• Brave Search API — used to retrieve candidate web results. Read the Brave Search API Privacy Notice.

External providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. FuuckGoogle will identify the important providers involved in delivering the service so users can understand where their queries may be processed.

Optional AI-assisted ranking

FuuckGoogle may use an optional artificial-intelligence service to improve the ordering of candidate results.

When AI-assisted ranking is enabled, the following information may be sent to the configured AI provider:

• The current search query
• The current language or locale
• The selected language mode
• Candidate result titles
• Candidate result URLs
• Candidate result descriptions or snippets

This information is used only to evaluate which candidate results appear most relevant, useful, original, and appropriate for the immediate query.

FuuckGoogle does not intentionally include your name, email address, contact-form messages, account details, complete browsing history, advertising profile, or unrelated searches in an AI-ranking request.

Our currently supported optional AI provider is:

• OpenAI API — used only when AI-assisted reranking has been enabled by the FuuckGoogle operator. Read OpenAI’s API data information and OpenAI’s Privacy Policy.

FuuckGoogle remains functional without AI-assisted ranking. If the AI service is disabled, unavailable, or too slow, results continue to be processed using the normal ranking and source-diversity rules.

No advertising profiles

FuuckGoogle does not build advertising profiles from your searches.

Your queries are not used to classify you according to presumed income, purchasing power, personal vulnerabilities, political interests, health concerns, or commercial value.

Your search history is not used to decide which advertisers should be allowed to reach you because FuuckGoogle does not operate an advertising marketplace.

We do not sell search visibility, and we do not sell your attention.

No paid rankings

No website owner, advertiser, sponsor, partner, donor, or commercial customer can pay FuuckGoogle to:

• Appear in the search results
• Receive a higher position
• Push another result further down
• Remove a legitimate competing result
• Receive preferential treatment in the ranking system
• Place promotional content above ordinary results

Financial support for the project must remain completely separate from search inclusion, exclusion, and ranking.

Language and contextual relevance

FuuckGoogle may use the language of the current query, your browser language, the selected language mode, and relevant contextual signals to improve the results shown for that search.

A query can prioritize useful sources in the user’s preferred language while still surfacing authoritative international sources when they provide the stronger answer.

Available language options may include:

• Browser language preferred
• Browser language only
• Results from all supported languages

This is contextual relevance for the current search — not permanent behavioral profiling.

Technical and security data

Like other online services, FuuckGoogle and its hosting infrastructure may temporarily process technical information required to deliver, secure, and maintain the service.

This may include:

• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Date and time of a request
• The requested page or technical endpoint
• Security and abuse-prevention signals
• Rate-limit information
• Error and diagnostic information

This information should only be processed where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, debugging, performance monitoring, and reliable service delivery.

Technical information must not be repurposed to create advertising or behavioral profiles. Logs should be minimized and retained only for as long as they are operationally, legally, or technically necessary.

Bot and abuse protection

FuuckGoogle may use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect search requests, contact forms, and other public functions against bots, spam, scraping, and automated abuse.

When Turnstile is active, Cloudflare may process technical information needed to determine whether a request appears to come from a legitimate visitor or an automated system.

Read the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

Rate limiting and abuse prevention

FuuckGoogle may temporarily associate technical request information with rate-limit counters to prevent excessive automated traffic, protect external API capacity, and keep the service available for ordinary users.

Rate-limit information is intended for security and service protection. It should not be used to create a long-term profile of a user’s interests or search behavior.

Search caching

FuuckGoogle may temporarily cache search responses to improve speed, reduce repeated requests to external providers, control infrastructure costs, and protect the service against excessive automated traffic.

A cached response relates to a query and its result list. It should not be attached to a permanent personal profile of the individual who submitted the query.

Several users submitting the same or a substantially similar query may receive results from the same temporary cache.

Cookies and local browser storage

FuuckGoogle may use strictly necessary cookies or local browser storage for functional and security-related purposes.

This may include remembering:

• Your selected language mode
• Limited interface preferences
• Temporary security or verification status
• Information needed to apply reasonable rate limits
• Whether certain interface elements have already been shown

FuuckGoogle does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site advertising trackers.

If analytics are introduced, they must be privacy-conscious, clearly disclosed, and configured to collect no more information than is reasonably necessary.

Contact forms and messages

If you contact FuuckGoogle through the contact form, we may process the information you provide.

This may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The selected contact reason
• The subject of your message
• The message itself
• Technical information needed to prevent spam and abuse

This information is used to respond to the enquiry, investigate a report, provide support, address a privacy request, or protect the service.

Contact information must not be added to an advertising profile or sold to advertisers or data brokers.

For privacy-related enquiries, please open the privacy contact form.

Links to external websites

Search results lead to websites operated independently of FuuckGoogle.

When you open an external result, the destination website may collect information, set cookies, display advertising, load third-party resources, or apply its own privacy practices.

FuuckGoogle does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, or handling of personal information.

You should review the privacy information of an external website when appropriate.

Data minimization

Our guiding rule is simple:

Do not collect personal information merely because collecting it is technically possible.

Every category of information should have a clear operational purpose. New features should be designed to function with as little personal information as reasonably possible.

Information should not be retained for longer than necessary merely because storage is available or inexpensive.

Open development and transparency

FuuckGoogle is an open-source project. Privacy-related code, integrations, and material technical changes should be open to public inspection wherever security and abuse prevention permit.

You can learn more about participating in the project on the Contribute page.

Technical information about the project may also be published in the documentation.

This privacy page should be updated when we materially change:

• The external search-result provider
• The optional AI provider
• Security or bot-protection providers
• Logging practices
• Retention periods
• The use of cookies, storage, or analytics
• The categories of information being processed
• The legal operator of the service

Your choices and rights

Depending on the available features and the laws that apply to you, you may be able to:

• Select or change your preferred language mode
• Search across all supported languages
• Use FuuckGoogle without creating an account
• Request information about personal data held by the service operator
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Request deletion of personal information where applicable
• Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Submit a complaint to an appropriate data-protection authority

To submit a privacy request, please open the privacy contact form.

Additional information may be required to verify a request and prevent unauthorized access to another person’s information.
