Terms of service

Introduction

Mullvad Leta is a free and open search service provided by Mullvad. It acts as a proxy to Google and Brave Search APIs, ensuring user privacy.

Service Usage

Caching

Searches are cached for up to 30 days to enhance privacy. This means search results may be up to 30 days old. You can change this in settings.

Privacy

When a search isn't in the cache, our server (leta.mullvad.net) queries the search engines on your behalf. Only the search query is sent; no personal data is shared.

Direct Links

Returned search results contain only direct links to the final destination. All tracking elements and third-party content are removed to protect your privacy.

Fair Use Policy

While Mullvad Leta is free to use, accessing Google and Brave Search APIs incurs costs. To manage these expenses and ensure service availability for all users, we may implement usage limits. These limits are designed to prevent abuse and maintain optimal performance.

Data Handling

We do not display ads or sell user data. Each search query is hashed and query result is stored in memory (linked to the hash); after 30 days, it is automatically deleted.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Service as necessary. Any changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of Mullvad Leta constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
