Privacy and terms of use

[index.html] Home / Privacy and terms of use Privacy and Terms of Use Our automated search technology gives our users nearly instantaneous access to information of interest to Russian speakers from our index of more than four billion web pages in Russian and other languages. Our search technology incorporates our thorough understanding of the complexities and nuances of the Russian language, which helps to improve the accuracy and relevance of our search results. We continually seek to improve our relevance algorithms to objectively determine the best answers to our users’ queries and to place these answers at the top of our search results. We also feature simultaneous, “parallel” searches of our main web index and our specialized information resources, including news, blogs, dictionaries, images and product listings. To maintain the integrity of our service and ensure the quality of our users’ experience, we do not accept payment for inclusion or placement in our search results. In addition to our main search engine, we offer our users a number of additional ways to find relevant information to answer their questions. These include our Yandex.News aggregation service, the second largest online news service in Russia; our Yandex.Blogs search tool, which we believe is the largest blog search engine in Russia; Yandex.Maps, the largest online map service in Russia, which offers live traffic monitoring in Moscow and other cities; Yandex.Dictionaries, our online reference tool; Yandex.Market, our comparison shopping system; and Yandex.Weather. We aggregate content from many sources with which we have formal agreements, and view our content providers as valued partners. Most of our services can be accessed from mobile devices, and we offer specific downloadable mobile applications to run some of our services. Many of these services are geographically targeted and make use of user-generated content, which we believe increases their relevance to both users and advertisers. To further enhance our users’ experience, we offer a range of additional free services and content, including Yandex.Mail with Spamooborona, our email hosting service with our proprietary spam filtering system; photo, video and website hosting and sharing; and MoiKrug, an online network for professionals. We also offer Yandex.Money, an online payment service to facilitate internet transactions, as well as a range of search utilities, including tools for servers and personal computers. We strive to offer the full range of services expected by our users and seek to regularly introduce new and improved services, as well as enhancements and additions to our existing offerings. We believe that these services improve our users’ internet experience and increase the frequency and duration of their visits to our websites, thereby increasing the number of searches they conduct.
