HOW DOES NGAGE PROTECT MY PRIVACY AND KEEP MY INFORMATION SECURE?
We know security and privacy are important to you, and they are important to us, too. We make it a priority to provide strong security and give you confidence that your information is safe and accessible when you need it.
We’re constantly working to ensure strong security, protect your privacy, and make Ngage even more effective and efficient for you. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent every year on security, and world-renowned experts are employed in data security to keep your information safe. We also build easy-to-use privacy and security tools like Ngage Dashboard, 2-step verification and Advertisement (Ads) Settings.

You can learn more about safety and security online, including how to protect yourself and your family online, through the Ngage online assistant. Learn more about how we keep your personal information private and safe, and put you in control.
HOW CAN I REMOVE INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF FROM NGAGE'S SEARCH RESULTS?
Ngage search results reflect the content publicly available on the web. Search engines can’t remove content directly from websites, so removing search results from Ngage wouldn’t remove the content from the web. If you want to remove something from the web, you should contact the webmaster of the site the content is posted on and ask him or her to make a change. Once the content has been removed and Ngage has noted the update, the information will no longer appear in Ngage’s search results. If you have an urgent removal request, you can visit our online assistant for more information.
ARE MY SEARCH QUERIES SENT TO WEBSITES WHEN I CLICK ON NGAGE'S SEARCH RESULTS?
In some cases, yes. When you click on a search result in Ngage Search, your web browser also may send the Internet address, or URL, of the search results page to the destination webpage as the Referrer URL. The URL of the search results page may sometimes contain the search query you entered. If you are using SSL Search (Ngage’s encrypted search functionality), under most circumstances, your search terms will not be sent as part of the URL in the Referrer URL. There are some exceptions to this behavior, such as if you are using some less popular browsers. For more information about SSL Searches contact the online assistance. In addition, advertisers may receive information relating to the exact keywords that triggered an Ad click.
