Legal
Your Privacy
Last updated: June 2026
The short version: we log nothing, track nothing, and store nothing about you or your searches. This is not a marketing claim — it is a technical reality built into how NeutralSpace works.
What we collect
Nothing. NeutralSpace does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information.
No search history. No IP addresses. No cookies. No device fingerprints. No session identifiers. No analytics. No advertising pixels.
Your searches
When you search on NeutralSpace, your query is sent to our backend server, which forwards it to multiple search engines simultaneously. We do not log what you searched for. We do not associate searches with users. We do not build profiles.
Search results are returned directly to your browser and are never stored on our servers.
Search engines we query
NeutralSpace queries multiple third-party search engines on your behalf, including Google, Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Startpage, and Mojeek. These requests are made from our server, not your browser — meaning the search engines see our server's IP address, not yours.
Local search history
NeutralSpace offers an optional local search history feature. This history is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage — on your device, never on our servers. You can clear it at any time. We have no access to it.
Cookies
NeutralSpace does not use cookies for tracking or analytics. Your light/dark mode preference and search settings are stored in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.
Third-party services
- Railway — hosts our backend server. Does not have access to search query content.
- Vercel — hosts our frontend. May log standard web server access logs subject to Vercel's privacy policy.
- UptimeRobot — monitors whether our backend is online. No user data is involved.
Children's privacy
NeutralSpace does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we collect no information from anyone, this applies universally.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change this policy, we will update the date at the top. We will never introduce tracking, advertising, or data collection without prominently disclosing it.
How NeutralSpace works
NeutralSpace is built on SearXNG, a free and open-source metasearch engine. When you search, your query is sent to our server, which queries multiple search engines simultaneously and returns aggregated results. Your IP address never reaches the underlying search engines — only our server does.

Prove it to yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. Here are four things you can check yourself — no technical experience needed.
Test 1 — No cookies (2 minutes). Press F12 on your keyboard while on this site. A panel opens at the bottom or side of your screen. At the top of that panel you will see tabs like Elements, Console, Sources, Network — look for a >> double arrow at the end of those tabs and click it. In the dropdown find Application and click it. On the left side click Cookies. The list will be completely empty. No tracking files. Nothing stored. If you see nothing, that is the proof.
Test 2 — No hidden trackers (2 minutes). Press F12 again and click the Network tab at the top of the panel. Then press Ctrl+Shift+R to reload the page. Watch the list of requests that appear. You will only see: our font (fonts.googleapis.com), a basic anonymous visit counter from Vercel (the company that hosts our site), and your search going to our backend. You will NOT see Facebook, Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, or any advertising company. Compare this to any news website — the difference will shock you.
Test 3 — Same results for everyone. Ask a friend in another city or country to search the exact same words on MyNeutralSpace at the same time as you. Screenshot your results and compare. They will match — because we do not personalise results based on who you are, where you live, or what you have searched before.
Test 4 — Our code is public. Everything that runs our search engine is published openly on GitHub at github.com/Maguared/neutralspace-backend. Anyone with coding knowledge can read it and confirm there is no database, no search history, and no user tracking of any kind. We have nothing to hide because we collect nothing.
MyNeutralSpace vs a VPN — what's the difference?
A lot of people use a VPN for privacy. VPNs are useful — but they solve a different problem to MyNeutralSpace. Here is a plain-English breakdown of what each one actually does.

The bottom line: A VPN hides where you are. MyNeutralSpace hides what you are searching for and who you are as a searcher. They are not competitors — they complement each other. Using both gives you stronger privacy than either one alone.
Think of it this way: a VPN is like wearing a disguise when you walk into a shop. MyNeutralSpace means the shop has no memory of you, shows you the same window as everyone else, and does not follow you home.
