Toolbar Privacy Policy

When used, the toolbar sends unidentifiable usage statistics regarding usage of its features to Conduit's servers (Conduit is the service that powers the toolbar). The statistics are completely anonymous, do not contain any personal identification or information in a manner that can identify a user, and no IP addresses are stored. We do not match individual users with their specific Web or toolbar usage and don't share the specifics with anybody. A unique id is used solely for the purpose of knowing how many people are actively using the toolbar and it is not transferred along with any specific usage information. This unique id is not transmitted during any other use of the toolbar.

All statistic information is securely stored on Conduit.com and is accessible only to us.
