Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 24, 2026
Overview
Nothing Ecosystem respects your privacy. The Nothing Browser and Nothing Private Browser binaries send zero data out of your machine.
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, what we don't collect, and what leaves your machine.
The short version: Nothing leaves your machine except the websites you visit. We don't phone home. We don't send telemetry. We don't track you.

What Does Leave Your Machine
Only the websites you visit.
When you navigate to a website using Nothing Browser, your browser makes network requests to that website. This is the intended purpose of the software.

Open Source Verification
All Nothing Ecosystem software is open source. You can verify every claim in this Privacy Policy by:
- Reading the source code
- Building from source
- Auditing network traffic with tools like Wireshark
Nothing is hidden. Nothing is obfuscated. Nothing is sent.
Third-Party Services
The websites you visit may collect their own data. Nothing Ecosystem has no control over:
- What data websites collect
- How websites use that data
- What cookies websites set
That's between you and the website. We just provide the browser.
Children's Privacy
Our software does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. We don't collect any information at all.
