You.com is an AI search/answer-engine product operated by SuSea, Inc., a private company whose privacy policy names Richard Socher — a publicly documented AI researcher and former Salesforce chief scientist — as CEO and founder on its own About page. The privacy policy states You.com 'collect[s] information using only first-party cookies and similar technologies,' a notably narrower tracking design than typical ad-supported web products, and states user content in 'email, documents, photos, or other personal files' is not used to target ads. However, the same policy discloses that You.com 'may use data we collect, such as de-identified chat data, to select and deliver some of the ads you see on our Services,' that third parties may access an advertising ID to select and deliver ads, and that de-identified data is shared with advertisers to make ads 'more relevant and valuable.' The policy's only security-specific statement is a generic TLS-encryption disclosure; no breach, regulator action, or named-firm audit was found for You.com/SuSea in this research.
