 1) We don’t collect any of your personal info, including your IP address,
 other than information you voluntarily provide.
 2) We don’t sell your personal info to advertisers or other third parties.
 3) We share your personal info only when legally required, or when
 reasonably necessary to prevent harm in an emergency situation.
 4) We retain your personal info, excluding info you make public, for no
 more than 30 days after you request deletion.

 Why do they mention in 1) that no personal info is collect yet in 3) they
 share personal info in legal situations?

 What personal information does this mean? They do not make it clear. Is it
 search queries and data collection through cookies and headers? If it's
 not IP addresses why would this constitute as personal information?

 Is it still suitable to keep as default search on TBB?
