At the same time, we realized we can - and should - do more to inform our users about the importance of privacy on Ask, and in general on the web. And we have. We are developing and finalizing two separate Ask "Smart Answer" search results pages, so when a user goes to Ask.com and types in "Ask Privacy" or "Privacy" in the search box, they will get served up a specially designed, robust, and comprehensive results page that is a one-stop shop of answers on both Ask's privacy policies and actions (including AskEraser), as well as on privacy in general.

No one required that we take any of these steps. We took a look at our webpages, and realized we could make some key improvements when it came to privacy links on our service. It's simply the right thing to do for the information and awareness of our users.

We strongly encourage others in the search marketplace and online industry to do the same.
