    The “Privacy Statement” of Brave Search is somewhat weird tbh. Not clear, Obfuscated.

      Their Privacy Policy page seems fairly straightforward to me:

      Brave Search is designed to be private by default. We don’t collect personal information about you, your device or your searches. We also don’t transmit information to the web that could be used to profile you or track you or learn anything about you. Your searches are private to YOU.

      We temporarily process IP addresses to detect and prevent bots in order to ensure the integrity and availability of the service for all users. IP addresses are not retained but are deleted within seconds.

      To me these are clear claims they do not store search terms or IP addresses. Period.

      Of course this is what they say. As with any third party search you have to trust they’re doing what they say.
