Be careful!
Targeted advertising collects a lot of personal information from people worldwide.
Pew found that 64% of Americans feel their online activities are being tracked.
This constant information gathering worries many about their privacy.
But don't worry; you can control this by avoiding data brokers like Ask and using PurePrivacy.
Ask.com is a search engine that allows you to ask questions in natural language and receive relevant answers. It was originally known as Ask Jeeves, named after the fictional character Jeeves, the valet in P.G. Wodehouse's novels. However, it rebranded as Ask in 2005.
Here's how they collect your information:
Ask gathers information by indexing web pages. This involves scanning and storing data from websites across the internet.
When you enter a question into Ask, it uses algorithms to search its indexed database and retrieve relevant results.
Ask might keep track of what you search for and do on their website to learn what you like and make their services better.
Here's why it is important to opt out of Ask:
Opting out can help protect your privacy by preventing Ask from tracking your search history and behavior.
Opting out of Ask means they won't collect as much personal information about you. This lowers the chance of your data getting leaked if there are security breaches.
Opting out gives you more control over how your information is used and shared, allowing you to make informed decisions about your online privacy.
Overall, opting out of Ask can help you maintain greater control over your data and protect your privacy online.

Removing your information from Ask isn't enough.
PurePrivacy protects your online information by offering many choices, so your private information stays hidden.
PurePrivacy keeps you safe from online spying, surveillance agencies, malicious actors, and online threats.
By removing your data from hundreds of data brokers, the app ensures they never track it back.
Your data is protected from identity theft, phishing scams, and dark web leaks.
Here's how PurePrivacy works:
PurePrivacy simplifies the process of removing your data from Data Brokers by sending out removal requests on your behalf. Just provide basic details and consent, and PurePrivacy takes care of the rest.
Before and after you ask to remove your information, you can see a list of Data Brokers. They collect different types of information about you. This helps you know who has your data and what kind of data they have.
Each Data Broker is assigned a risk score from 1-10 based on the sensitivity of the data they collect. This helps you prioritize which brokers to target first for data removal.
A dashboard provides an overview of the status of your removal requests. You can track the progress of your requests and see when your data has been successfully removed from data brokers' databases.
PurePrivacy sends recurring requests to all data brokers and provides weekly email reports to inform you about the status of your removal requests. This ensures ongoing protection of your privacy.
Ask employs security measures to safeguard your data, but no system is safe from data breaches. To enhance your privacy protection, consider using PurePrivacy's solution, which actively works to remove your data from various sources.
Ask might share your personal information with other companies for things like ads and analyzing data. To have more control over your information and keep it safe, try PurePrivacy and make sure your data isn't shared with these companies.
After you delete your account, Ask usually keeps your data for a while, as they explain in their privacy rules.
No, you can't opt out of Ask.com for someone else. Each person needs to manage their privacy settings and preferences.
Ask.com tracks what you do online to show ads matching your interests.
This could make you worried, especially with cybercriminals out there.
But there's a solution!
PurePrivacy gives you the power to manage your privacy on multiple websites.
It prevents companies from getting your information and keeps you safe from online threats.
Now, you can browse the web knowing you're safe!
