Ecosia – A search engine that plants trees
Ecosia starts their privacy policy with, "We protect your privacy."...but when you dig in, they:1. Use Facebook for "conversion tracking".2. May collect messages, photos, calendar information if you're using the app.3. Hold on to personally identifiable information for upto 7 days post which they (pseudo)anonymize it to store it indefinitely. Now, without more information on how they do so, I'm not sure I'd trust the effectiveness of their anonymization, given they may store logs (and other metrics) "as long as necessary".4. Integrate with advertisement platform run by Bing on the search pages (and so they 'don't control the data Bing collects').Who reads privacy policies, right? Everyone just reads the headlines and FAQs."Ecosia is a “privacy friendly” search engine. We take user privacy very seriously." Right. I wish they were upfront and admitted to collecting data instead of trying hard to convince they don't do so for nefarious purposes (in their own eyes, that is).https://info.ecosia.org/privacy
