Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 30, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Lantern Search. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our browser extension. This policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of your information.

Information We Collect

Lantern Search is designed with privacy as our top priority.

What We Don't Collect:

  • Browsing history
  • Personal information
  • IP addresses
  • Usage analytics

How We Use Your Information

Since Lantern Search does not collect any personal information or usage data, there is no information to use, share, or sell. The extension functions entirely on your local device to redirect searches to duckduckgo.com.

Third-Party Services

When you use Lantern Search to redirect to a private search provider, you will be subject to that provider's privacy policy. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any search engines you choose to use. Lantern Search itself does not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data.

Data Security

Your settings and preferences are stored locally in your browser using standard browser storage APIs. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to sync your browser settings through your browser's own sync feature (such as Chrome Sync or Firefox Sync), which is controlled by your browser provider, not Lantern Search.

Children's Privacy

Lantern Search does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any data, our extension can be safely used by individuals of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy.

Your Rights

Since Lantern Search does not collect any personal data, there is no data to access, correct, or delete. You maintain complete control over the extension and can uninstall it at any time through your browser's extension management interface. Uninstalling the extension will remove all locally stored settings.

Our Commitment

Lantern Search was created to give users control over their search privacy. We believe that true privacy means not collecting data in the first place. This principle guides everything we do, and we are committed to maintaining this standard.
