In response to Google’s promise to only keep search records for 12-18 months, asked has announced that it will allow its users to completely erase their search activity from the search engines within 2-3 hours. This development comes only 6 months after the official announcement by ASK.
According to the ASK Eraser FAQ, users can now click a link on the homepage that will activate the privacy feature by deleting the IP and any search records conducted by the user within 2-3 hours.
Its worthwhile to note here that even though ASK are taking steps to increase their users’ privacy, its not completely secure. This is due to the fact that Google (as a supplier of paid ads to ASK) still has access to ASK’s searches.
