Privacy that covers your tracks

Torry takes Privacy seriously.

Your privacy comes first.

Torry's focus on privacy is at the core of Torry browser and search engine. Our mission is to drive user friendly adoption of Tor technology through our mobile browser and web services. Please read this privacy notice as a comprehensive overview on Torry.

How does Torry protect your Privacy?

Your searches are never sold or spied on.

Torry is a metasearch engine that indexes various other search engines. The search results Torry serves to users are fetched from Torry’s database and do not require 3rd party data transfer. Keeping your browsing anonymous. Torry only requests search results from external sources when our internally stored search index doesn’t have a dense result list. Over time our search graph won’t require external fetching. When you search, browse, and fetch results with Torry, we don’t insert any cookies on your browser. We don’t use any tracking devices. We don’t collect and we don’t store any history or your searches. When you enter a search query, it is immediately anonymized. What you search for is your own business. With Torry, you gain access to the Tor network and great search results without the use of your personal data.

Why doesn’t Torry collect any personal data?

Your personal data is just that, personal.

Torry is a metasearch engine so your personal data is not required for a search query. It is our philosophy that your persona data is just that, personal.

Private Search, By Default

Privacy, Simplified.

When you browse and search with Torry, we don't know who you are and there is no way to tie your searches together. When you search, your query is automatically stripped of unnecessary metadata including your IP address and other identifying information. We return results to you based on anonymized search queries. We don’t log your searches.

To prevent abuse such as robotic high-volume querying, we anonymously determine the frequency of popular search keywords as a part of our anti-abuse measures, while protecting your privacy.

We don’t record your IP address. If our software detects potential abuse, we register repeating keywords once a threshold is met and proceed to block the offending IP address in order to keep our service safe and free.

We don’t serve any tracking or identifying cookies. If you have changed any settings, then cookies are used to store those changes. However, in that case, they are not stored in a personally identifiable way. Torry.io only uses cookies for preferences in order to remember the search preferences you choose. It’s completely anonymous and expires after not visiting Torry.io for 90 days.

Supporting Torry Team

Our plan

It’s a myth that search engines need to profile you in order to generate revenue. Torry is working on various ideas for how to support our team. In the future Torry may trial subscriptions or limited free tiers. For now our primary goal is to provide neutral, balanced search results. Every search.

Torry earns money from clicks on the advertisements that appear above and beside the search results. The advertisements on Torry are clearly labeled as Ads and are text links to websites that pay for each click by users. The ads are delivered to you by our search partners, who pay Torry a share of the revenue generated via these ads.

Web Analytics

We don’t use external tracking tools.

We use a safe and fully encrypted web analysis service, which we ourselves operate, in order to analyze and continuously improve the use of our website. We measure overall traffic numbers and some other strictly anonymous statistics. To prevent bot spam these stats may include the number of times our service is accessed by a certain operating system, a type of browser, a language, etc., but we don’t know anything about individual users.

We never disclose or sell your contact information

We do not, and never will, share or sell any contact information we collect ourselves with any third party.

You ask for support, not spam. When you contact us via email or through our support center, we’ll use your contact information to respond to you. We won’t sell or share this information with anyone else. You will also have the option to subscribe to our newsletter, from which you can unsubscribe at any time.

How we respond to governmental requests for data

They can’t request what we don’t have. But we’re not likely to receive requests by governments to hand over user data – simply because we don’t have any.
