### Does Ghostery collect and sell my data?
There are well-meaning people who claim that Ghostery cannot be trusted. They are usually referring to the pre-2017 era where Ghostery belonged to a company named [Evidon](https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/who-is-evidon/) (which had a business model of collecting and selling data to other companies). It was then acquired by Cliqz (which builds a private and independent search engine as well as privacy-focused browsers). Since then the business model has been dropped, code has been [open-sourced](https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/) and Ghostery is now exploring ways to monetize through [paid products](https://www.ghostery.com/insights/).

They are usually referring to the 2009-2017 era where Ghostery belonged to a company named [Evidon](https://www.ghostery.com/faqs/who-is-evidon/) (which had a business model of collecting and selling data to other companies). It was then acquired by Cliqz GmbH (which built a private and independent search engine as well as privacy-focused browsers).

Ghostery neither collects nor sells data about users or trackers. In fact, the company shares the insights they have about the current state of trackers via https://whotracks.me/ so that everyone can benefit from it. [^3]
