Search engine privacy

Search engine privacy means that your searches are kept private and not shared with other people or companies. It means that no one can see what you’ve searched for online and no one can track the websites you've visited. To do this, search engines use something called encryption. Encryption is like a secret code that scrambles your information and makes it more secure. That way, only you have access to your search history.
