SearchLock Announces Support for Digital Privacy Rights

(Newswire.net — February 5, 2016) Honolulu, Hawaii — Parent company BeeStripe, LLC, based in Honolulu, Hawaii, recently announced that the group has made a donation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), an important organization working to protect fundamental digital rights for Web users. The donation will help further the cause of the EFF. “We support the incredible advocacy the EFF provides for freedom on the Internet,” says Aaron Lovelace, CEO of BeeStripe. “Our donation will help them continue to fight for the free expression of people all over the world. I hope that this announcement motivates others to donate to the EFF as well. ”

Search engines like Google are storing users’ search queries in a way that can be tied directly with their personal information. SearchLock, the privacy-enhanced search engine developed by Aaron’s company helps protect against this practice by not collecting or storing users’ personal information in a way that can be tied back to their searches. SearchLock also has a useful browser extension which detects when a search is heading to an engine that might track users in this way, and then redirects it to SearchLock’s privacy-friendly results. The browser extension is available for several popular Web browsers, including Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, and has been downloaded by over one million people seeking enhanced Web privacy. “Our company has advocated for protecting Web users through opposition to invasive tracking and surveillance on the Internet,” says Aaron. “SearchLock allows users to gain important privacy protections while searching the web.”

The SearchLock search engine and browser extension is certified under the TRUSTe Trusted Download Program, a testament to the quality and robust nature of this privacy-enhancing tool. The company continues to develop other products to lead to a safer Web environment, and the EFF’s goals align well with this work. “The work the EFF does promotes a safe and privacy-friendly environment on the Internet, among many other important things,” adds Aaron. “We are proud to help support their efforts across the globe.” To learn more about SearchLock, visit http://www.manta.com/c/mx44mqj/searchlock.
