gollark: So it is in fact sensitive data you don't want other people having access to?
gollark: And hopefully not get the results biased based on who decided to throw the most money at Google.
gollark: Then you can duckduckgo "domain registrar".
gollark: They could target them based on non-persistent contextual information like duckduckgo does, which might actually produce good suggestions without being invasive.
gollark: No, they tend to just be "here is something you already bought. Please buy it again."
