Posted in All Posts on July 17th, 2008

Didn’t know there was such a thing.  But sure enough, http://ixquick.com/ does not store any search information.  In fact:

On July 14th Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal.
Ixquick is now the first and only EU-approved search engine.

A Way to Send a Private Note

Posted in Email Security, New, Privacy, Security Tools on July 6th, 2008

Go to https://privnote.com/

  1. Write a private note (add a return receipt if desired).
  2. Past the link to the note in an email and send.
  3. It can only be read once and will self-destruct.
