What does Google is Tracking Your Searches pop-ups advertise?
Google is Tracking Your Searches pop-ups suggest a plugin for Google Chrome users; it is known as Privacy Switch. Along with it, you get a search engine named Search.myprivacyswitch.com. Apparently, by redirecting your searches through this engine, the application can keep your search history private. The reason we do not believe the tool works this is because we have read its Privacy Policy. It states that Search.myprivacyswitch.com can gather anonymous information, “such as the search terms that you enter into the search box, browser version and type, internet protocol address, and operating system and type.”
If search terms are equal to search keywords, we simply do not see how the tool can keep your search history private by collecting such data.
