Many websites aim to gather as much data about you as possible. Why? To profit from it. Many browser manufacturers do the same. Surprised?
Apps often track users, create profiles, and sell the collected data to advertisers. This is the cost of using their "free" services.
Viva does not engage in this practice.
We do not collect data about you. The websites you visit, the information you enter, your downloads – we are not interested in or collecting this data.
It is stored on your computer or encrypted during synchronization. We do not sell data. We do not deceive users.
Of course, it would be beneficial to know how you use Viva's features (or which ones are the most popular).
But instead of spying on users, we prefer to ask them directly.
Like any company, it's important for us to know how many users our browsers have (this information is essential for business growth).
For a while, we used a unique request from the user's computer that told us, "This is the same user as before.
"However, we have discontinued this practice. We found a solution that allows us not to send anything unique from your computers.
We are now implementing a new counting system. This requires some effort, but we believe it is important.
We are writing this code in C++ to later publish it along with the browser's source code for verification, ensuring that the code does exactly what is claimed.
We now only receive part of the IP address. This part still allows us to determine the user's country, which helps us develop browsers for these regions, but we cannot identify individual users, even if we wanted to.
We also know which version of Viva is running, the processor type, operating system, and screen resolution.
In general, it's the minimum amount of information.
We use third-party components for certain tasks, so keep this in mind.
Always be cautious when installing extensions in your browser.
"76 percent of websites contain hidden tracking tools from Google."You know that we stand against online surveillance.
However, with each passing day, this surveillance increases.
Millions of hidden trackers are scattered across the internet.
That's why we've decided to integrate tracking protection directly into the browser.
This will help safeguard you from those seeking to collect your personal information.
Despite the high effectiveness of the blocker, there will always be websites that can outsmart it.
If you encounter such a site, please let us know.
Thus, we are creating the Vivaldi browser, which does not track its users.
How many programs can claim the same?
