About the Company

Abine, Inc., the online privacy company, provides Internet privacy solutions for consumers. Abine's products and services allow regular people to regain control over their personal information while continuing to browse, interact and shop online. One of the company's first offerings is the Abine Privacy Suite software, a browser add-on that flushes intrusive cookies, shields contact information and separates online identities.

About the Browser Add-on

Abine's first product is a browser add-on, “Privacy Suite”, that combines disparate privacy tools into a comprehensive privacy system. By putting all the controls in one place, the Abine plug-in makes it easier to control the amount of personal information being collected and stored about you online. Some features:

  • Stopping tracking by hundreds of advertising networks and websites
  • Manage all cookies (regular & Flash) and trackers in one place.
  • Easily create distinct online accounts for different uses
  • Pre-fill registration forms with limited subsets of information
  • Shield your real info with disposable emails and phone numbers

For more information on these and other tools, please see the privacy apps overview or the FAQ, which contains answers to common questions such as “where is my information stored?”


Privacy Policy

Abine, Inc. except as required by law:

  • Abine will not track, store or transmit to any server or third party, information regarding users’ behavioral data (to include web browsing activity).
  • will not sell or otherwise work with third parties to market additional software to users (not including Abine software or services).
  • will not deliver or help others deliver any targeted advertising to users.
  • will not store users' passwords and login credentials on Abine’s servers (or any other remote location other than the user’s computer) except when requested to do so and encrypted with a key not known to Abine.

(Please note that Abine's policy is “required by law”, not “permitted by law”, since “permitted” means almost anything is allowed, while “required” are situations where the company receives a valid court order, for example, and is compelled to comply.)


What we Believe

We believe everyone has a right to privacy in their life – whether in their home or online. We believe people care deeply about their privacy - even though many top companies and executives do not. We believe many web businesses today do not act appropriately when it comes to their users' personal information, and even well-intentioned companies are hampered by inherent conflicts of interest. We believe the time is right for a new company to put users back in control of their online privacy.
