Last Updated: December 15, 2024

🛡️ Our Privacy Promise

17 Fast B is built with privacy by design. We don't track, collect, or sell your personal data. Your browsing activity stays on your device, and we have no access to your private information.

1. Information We Don't Collect

Unlike other browsers, 17 Fast B is designed to minimize data collection. We explicitly do not collect:

  • Your browsing history or visited websites
  • Search queries or search history
  • Personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • Location data or IP addresses
  • Cookies or tracking data from websites
  • Downloaded files or media content
  • Login credentials or passwords
  • Financial or payment information

2. Limited Technical Data

To improve our browser and fix bugs, we may collect minimal, anonymized technical information:

  • Crash Reports: Anonymous error logs to help us fix browser crashes
  • Performance Metrics: General performance data (not linked to your identity)
  • Feature Usage: Which browser features are used most (aggregated data only)
  • Update Checks: Version information to provide security updates

Important: All technical data is anonymized, aggregated, and cannot be traced back to individual users.

3. Local Data Storage

17 Fast B stores certain data locally on your device for functionality:

  • Bookmarks: Stored locally and optionally synced with encryption
  • Settings: Your browser preferences and configurations
  • Cache: Temporary files to improve loading speeds (automatically cleared)
  • Session Data: Tabs and windows (cleared when browser closes)

You have full control over this data and can clear it at any time through browser settings.

  • Update Servers: Only check for browser updates; no personal data transmitted
  • Extension Store: Optional extensions are vetted for privacy compliance

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We never sell, rent, or share your personal data. Since we don't collect personal information, there's nothing to share. In the rare case of legal requirements:

  • We would only provide data we actually have (which is minimal)
  • We would challenge any overly broad requests
  • We would notify users when legally permitted
  • We maintain transparency reports on our website

7. International Data Transfers

Since 17 Fast B doesn't collect personal data, there are no international data transfers to worry about. Any minimal technical data is processed in secure, privacy-compliant data centers.
