Online security starts with your browser
It’s our job to safeguard your data, and we take that job seriously. Shift is built to keep your data secure and protect you from risky websites or downloads that threaten your privacy.
Your data belongs to you
Shift keeps you anonymous by default, and if you choose to share data with us, it’s always encrypted and handled according to strict international privacy standards.
