We block all unnecceary requests that go to Google Servers. Epic is our default search. We do not even maintain logs on our server.
A unique ID ("clientID") for identifying the user in logs.
A timestamp of when the browser was installed.
We remove all the browsing data of user as soon as he quits. You can see this by identifying %LOCALAPPDATA% of Epic browser under directory. Also we do not use any of the file from users %LOCALAPPDATA%
Google Updater automatic installation.
No harm with this as of now as we are committed to users privacy. However we are trying to make update manual in windows as well.
In Mac or OSX , it is currently Manual update itself.

We have disabled this. Not only this, We disabled even translations, spellchecks or any service that hits Google servers
Automatic address bar search suggestions.
This is local in Epic. We made a list famous websites and we have put the data local to your system.
Bug tracking system, sends information about crashes or errors.
We have disabled this too.
What we have removed safe browsing (the same api is used by Safari, Google Chrome and even Firefox ), which also hits Google servers.
We do not show any kind data on your history page or any chrome-urls.
We made sure that there are no leaks of user privacy data.
Adding to this what we provide is, We always block third party cookies and ad trackers. We pass do not track header to all the sites. We give option for user to enable and disable plugins, if anyone fears plugins are leaking any data, they can disable this via umbrella button and on click proxy integrated, there by user can anonymize their IP location
You can test all our claims using wireshark (Windows) or tool like littlesnitch(on Mac OS)
