FAQs

Have questions? We've got answers (to question we think you might have)! If you can't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

What is online tracking, and why is it a problem?

Hundreds of companies unlawfully collect data about the things you do online, such as the websites you visit, the pages you view, searches you make, and the links you click. By collecting this information across multiple websites, they can build very detailed profiles about you that can include sensitive data. This includes your interests, location, health, sexual preference, income and political affiliations.

This is not just creepy: it is often illegal and harmful. The majority of these tracking businesses do not give you any real choice about the collection and transmission of your online activities. This data and the profiles created from it isn’t only used to show you relevant ads, but leads to discrimination, the spread of misinformation, and political manipulation.

Is Datagator free?

Yes. The Datagator browser extension is free to use.

However, if you choose to join a claim, we will take a percentage of the compensation we obtain for you. This allows us to pursue even more claims.  See How is compensation shared? for more info.

Does Datagator know what websites I visit?

For your privacy, our extension analyses your browsing data exclusively on your device (i.e. offline) to determine whether a privacy violation has taken place.
