It’s like fundraising, if you have to ask if they fulfill their promises, you should know it won’t be long before you hear they didn’t. Besides, this sounds like a con from the way they describe it. So yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

They're talking too much business to be a 'private' search. They don't make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).

They are created by "the team behind" an SEO company and their privacy policy doesn't look great. They do use their own indexing though.
