Search'No Go

Search N'Go is a search engine company that prioritises both data security and users' privacy and hopes to innovate solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.

We protect user's privacy through the use of a data vault. Our data vault will be incorporated on the World Wide Web and the data from all the user's use of the Internet will be stored there. Users have the options to choose which company can use their data and prevent them from tracking them, users can also choose their privacy levels and delete their data permanently if needed. We also aim to educated Gen Z as we feel by educating them we can raiase responsible internet users. Although we respect user privacy and will not store their information nor sell it, we do have a responsibility in maintaining Internet's safety. We will use AI to screen for illegal activites such as extremism etc which will raise red flags to suprervisors. They will cross check to ensure accuracy and will inform government authorities for proper investigation. We will then delete the user's data from our system. We aim to reduce bias of AI by having a more diverse range of training data. 

Data security is important as users' data can be misused if not properely protected. We aim to prevent certain companies such as facebook and google from having dominance over user's data which can be unhealthy. US has suffered several data scandals such as the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal where Personal data from over 87 million Facebook users had been improperly obtained by the political data-analytics firm. 

The target population would be every internet users. They are currently being underserved due to some companies dominating their data, there is currently no data safe that is controlled by these companies and our solution would also be controlled bt the W3C. 

We have done research on the users. 

• Overall, over 90 percent of global online users had at least one significant concern about data privacy

•  2019 survey by Statista revealed that 47 percent of respondents were worried about their personal information would be exposed in a data breach and compromised by cyber criminals 

• An additional 40 percent of worldwide respondents stated discomfort about sensitive personal information being sold to third parties and used in decision-making processes without their consent

• Only eight percent of respondents stated that they did not have any concerns about data privacy

Our solution address data security. it is important as given our world is getting more interconnected, larger amounts of data are flowing around the world and they are treasure trove of info. Protecting these data can safeguard billions of lives worldwide. 

Concept. We are trying to see if our idea is feasible and if it is we would like to partner with bigger firms that can help us to prototype our product.
