Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to Search123 (referred to as “this website,” accessible at search123.top). This website respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any information you may provide while visiting and using this site. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what steps you can take to protect your privacy.
Information We Do NOT Collect
Search123 is a purely static content website. We want to be clear about what we do not do:
- We do not require user registration or accounts
- We do not collect personal information (name, address, phone number, email) through forms
- We do not store any data on our servers — the website is served as pre-built static files
- We do not use tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or any tracking technology beyond what is described below
- We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties beyond the services described in this policy
The only data collection that occurs on this website is through the third-party services described below, which we use to understand site usage and to fund the site through advertising.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use this website. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data by placing cookies in your browser, including but not limited to:
- Pages visited and browsing paths
- Time spent on the website
- Device type and operating system used
- Browser type and version
- Approximate geographic location (based on IP address, though the full IP is not recorded by GA4)
- Traffic sources (search engines, direct visits, or external links)
- Screen resolution and viewport size
This data is presented in aggregated and anonymized form to help us understand which content is most popular and which pages need improvement. We use this information solely to improve website content and user experience. We do not combine this data with any personally identifiable information.
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months. For more information about how Google Analytics processes data, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense
This website displays advertisements through Google AdSense to support its operations and keep all content free to access. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Specifically:
- Google uses cookies (such as the DART cookie) to display ads based on your browsing history on this website and other sites across the internet
- Third-party ad vendors or ad networks may also use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons to measure ad effectiveness and deliver ad content
- This website does not have access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers
- Ad placement is managed automatically by Google. We do not manually select or target specific ads to specific users
You can manage or opt out of Google personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors using cookies for personalized advertising.
Interactive Tools
Some pages on this website include interactive tools (such as the Search Operator Builder and Password Strength Checker). These tools run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data entered into these tools is transmitted to our servers or any third party. All processing happens locally on your device. We have no ability to see, store, or access any information you enter into these tools.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. This website itself does not set cookies, but the third-party services mentioned above (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) do set cookies through this website. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Other Site Data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and Delete Cookies
Please note that disabling cookies may affect your browsing experience on this website and others, and may result in less relevant advertising.
Data Security
This website transmits all data via HTTPS encryption to protect the security of communication between you and the site. Since we do not directly collect or store any personal data, there is no risk of data breaches from our end. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) are responsible for the security of the data they collect under their own privacy policies.
Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your data:
- Right to Know: You can request information about what data has been collected about you
- Right to Delete: You can request deletion of your data
- Right to Opt-Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising using the links provided above
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights
Since we do not collect or store personal data directly, most data-related requests should be directed to Google, as they are the data controller for Analytics and AdSense data. We are happy to assist you with any such requests — contact us using the information below.

This website contains links to external websites and tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website you visit through links on Search123.
