Data Privacy and Responsible Search

Data Privacy and Responsible Search

Data privacy in the EU is regulated by a strong framework, with the GDPR as its foundation. The core idea is simple: data should be collected for a clear purpose, used transparently, and protected throughout its lifecycle. For companies building AI and search products, that means designing systems that respect data minimization, purpose limitation, and user control from day one.

WebSpeaker takes these principles seriously. It is built to support intelligent search without turning collected data into a product. We do not sell collected data, and we do not repurpose it outside the search function. The goal is to help users find answers, not to extract value from their information.

Public sources by default

By default, WebSpeaker relies on publicly available web pages that an owner already publishes. That means the primary content used for search is the same information the public can access anyway. This approach keeps the system aligned with transparency and reduces unnecessary data exposure.

Explicit documents, explicit intent

If a user wants WebSpeaker to use a specific private document, it must be provided explicitly. That keeps control with the user and makes the purpose clear: the document is used to answer questions within the intelligent search experience, nothing else.

Privacy by design, not by policy

Regulation sets the baseline, but real trust comes from system design. WebSpeaker prioritizes clear sourcing, limited data use, and explicit consent for non-public materials. It is a practical interpretation of EU privacy rules for modern search: focused, transparent, and respectful by default.
