The privacy policy states that 'Some browsers make it possible for you to signal that you don’t want your Internet browsing activity to be tracked. Because the Internet community hasn’t reached a consensus on how to best honor these signals, Backblaze doesn’t respond to Do-Not-Track requests at this time.'
