Startpage

Startpage delivers Google-quality search results with zero tracking, zero profiling, and no IP logging, acting as a private proxy between users and the world's biggest search index. Every query is stripped of identifying metadata before it leaves the Startpage servers, so results stay relevant while search history stays out of advertiser and broker databases.

The product combines a private search engine, an Anonymous View one-click proxy that opens any result without exposing the user's browser, and a private email offering. No cookies are set by default, no personal data is sold, and the company has been audited and certified under the European Privacy Seal (EuroPriSe) for over a decade.

Key benefits:

• Private Google-quality results without tracking, profiling, or IP logs
• Anonymous View opens result pages through a built-in privacy proxy
• No behavioral ads since no user profile is ever assembled
• EuroPriSe certified independently audited European Privacy Seal
• Startpage email provides aliasing and private inboxes for signups
• Works everywhere via browser extensions and mobile apps

Startpage is headquartered in the Netherlands and operates entirely under European data-protection law, with servers hosted in the EU and full GDPR compliance. The company holds the EuroPriSe certification and is not subject to the US CLOUD Act, making it a genuinely sovereign alternative to Google Search, Bing, and other US-based engines.

Ideal for privacy-conscious users, journalists, researchers, and EU organizations that need accurate search without handing query data to advertising platforms or foreign intelligence frameworks.
