Vortex

Privacy

Last updated November 8, 2026. The short version: Vortex has no accounts and no analytics, and it keeps your browsing data on your computer.

What stays on your computer

Your bookmarks, history, settings and installed themes are saved in Vortex’s data folder on your PC. Vortex does not upload them anywhere. You can clear your history from the Library panel at any time.

What leaves your computer

• Websites you visit receive the requests any browser sends, and your searches go to the search engine you choose in Vortex.
• Site icons in the sidebar, start page and library are loaded from Google’s favicon service, which means that service sees the domain names of those sites.
• Ad blocker lists are downloaded from the ad blocker’s servers when Vortex starts.

What Vortex does not do

Vortex does not require an account, does not include analytics or tracking of its own, and does not sell data.
