As stated in their privacy policy “we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address (obfuscated), user agent string, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting.” They use Microsoft’s Bing Ads and, again, they state that they do send search data to Microsoft Bing. In their Privacy Policy, they state ads are served only based on your search term and not your search history or profile. Revenue Model & Search Index Partner(s): Like most search engines, Ecosia makes its money via ads.The privacy policy does not state whether or not Microsoft Bing deletes the partial IP address they receive.
Per their privacy policy, this log of your search data will be removed by Ecosia after 7 days. For example, if your IP address at home is 127.123.111.111 they log. IP Address Protection: Ecosia chooses to store partial IP addresses.Unlike Startpage, Ecosia logs a user’s partial IP address and passes it through to Microsoft Bing per search. Privacy Policy: Ecosia’s Privacy Policy is well done and is laid out much like an FAQ page answering questions about user privacy and the steps they take to protect it.You don’t ever have to check Google when you’re using Startpage. With many other search engines, you will often find yourself checking Google just to make sure you got good results. Now, you may be thinking “of course a Startpage consultant is giving Startpage 5 stars” and you may be right, but don’t forget that Startpage is pulling their results from easily the largest search indexing company on the planet. Quality of search results: 5 out of 5 stars on search results.Country of Jurisdiction: The Netherlands.With Anonymous Views, users can open search results through a proxy server that acts much like a VPN or Tor browser, hiding the user’s IP and other identifiable information from the page being visited. When it comes to search results, they pull their results directly and anonymously from Google. Google does not receive any identifiable information about the user. Ads are served based on search terms alone and not the user’s profile or previous searches. Revenue Model & Search Index Partner(s): Startpage makes its money via ads that are served through Google’s Ad Network.IP Address Protection: When you visit Startpage, their servers change your IP address to 0.0.0.0 rather than logging any amount of your IP address.One of the biggest highlights is that Startpage does not collect any information about its users and does not log IP addresses or search history nor do they pass any part of an IP address to search partners. Privacy Policy: The Startpage Privacy Policy is a robust explanation that explains what it does and doesn’t do, and how they accomplish it.
