Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up a user’s MorphicBar?
Whether you’re setting up Morphic for yourself or for someone else, if you know the sites you want to include, then it only takes about 15 minutes (on average) to set up a MorphicBar.
Why is Morphic free?
We want everyone to have access to computers and technology, and we are grant-funded so right now our efforts are being supported by our grants.
For the Capture and Restore feature, are my personal settings safe?
Your Morphic settings are stored in a separate “vault” in the cloud, and you alone have the key. The security of our users’ vaults is overseen by both an internal Data Privacy Officer and an external Privacy & Data Ethics Council made up of privacy and digital human rights experts/advocates. Also, we’ll never sell or share any of your data.
