Complete Search Privacy and Anonymity

Unlike many search engines that track your searches, clicks, and location to build detailed user profiles, Startpage Private Search enforces a strict zero data-collection policy. It does not store your IP address, search terms, or any personal information. 

Integrated Privacy Protections

The app automatically deletes your searches and browsing history after a set time or when the app closes, ensuring no residual data remains on your device. It also strips search terms from URLs so websites cannot track your queries. Startpage never uses or accepts tracking cookies, further safeguarding your online privacy.

Advanced Search Capabilities with Superior Results

Despite its privacy-first focus, Startpage Private Search provides powerful search features including full web and image search, advanced search filters, and customizable display settings. This means you don’t have to compromise quality for privacy — the app delivers relevant, reliable results efficiently.

Fully Integrated Web Browser

The app includes a built-in web browser optimized for privacy. You can browse search results seamlessly without exposing your data, enjoying a smooth and secure web experience within the app itself.

Private Proxy Surfing for Extra Security

For additional anonymity, Startpage offers a Proxy feature that loads web pages through its own secure servers, hiding your IP and blocking trackers or malware. When you click the “Proxy” link under search results, you browse websites indirectly, preventing sites from seeing your real identity.
