Privacy & safety

Private by default.

Looking for support shouldn’t cost you your privacy. Outline is built so you can read freely without leaving a trail — no account, no tracking, nothing to sign.

What we don’t collect

  • No accounts. You never sign up or log in. There’s nothing to create and nothing to delete.
  • No trackers or analytics. We don’t use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or third-party tracking scripts.
  • No cookies for tracking. Outline doesn’t set cookies to follow you around.
  • No personal data. We don’t ask for your name, location, or identity, and we don’t store what you read.

Quick Exit

Every page has a Quick Exit button pinned in the top-right corner. Tap it — or press ESC three times quickly — and you’ll be sent straight to Google. It uses a history-replace, so the Back button won’t return to the page you were on.

Browsing extra-privately

Quick Exit clears the page from your history, but your browser may still keep its own record. For more privacy, you can use a private or incognito window, and clear your browser history afterward. If you share a device, signing out of synced accounts helps too.

Links to other sites

When you tap through to a resource, you’re leaving Outline for that organization’s own website, which has its own privacy practices. We choose reputable organizations, but we can’t control how other sites handle your information.

If you’re in immediate danger
