Dear donors,
We need your support again this year. But this time, we've come up with something special for private donors and sponsors. As a thank you, we now offer an umbrella for private donors and free advertising on the Swisscows website for business sponsors.
DEAR DONORS,
It sounds almost unrealistic, but we believe in it and follow this vision.
A search engine is already indispensable for everyone - whether at home, in the office or on the go. But it is clear to everyone that total monitoring is possible through search terms, interests, movement profile and the user profile created with it. This is reported to us in the media almost every day. The question is, what can you do about it, how can you protect yourself? I don't like it when my data is stolen and I firmly believe that everyone has the right to data protection and privacy. When our team started developing the search engine, our vision was clear: create the world's safest search engine. We also wanted it to be a family-friendly search engine. Young people are now much more often on the Internet than adults. For this reason we want to protect the younger generation and so there is neither violence nor pornography on Swisscows.
Our goal is clearly defined - we work at full speed every day to improve and optimize our services and functions. We will continue to pursue our strategy in the future - not saving any user information and protecting our children from violence and pornography. We not only want to offer data protection as a search engine, but also in other services such as WhatsApp alternative, maps, email, etc.
Swisscows needs your support so that this work can be continued so that an anonymous search on the Internet can still be made available. We will use the donations for development, technology, employees and all costs related to the search engine. We want to continue to be an independent data-safe search engine and protect our children from violent content. If you find Swisscows useful and want to promote our idea, take some time and help us.

We are grateful for every contribution, because this is the only way we can work in the long term. By making a donation you will help to secure internet freedom.
Why do we need your donation? Swisscows uses the donations for the development, the technology and all other costs related to our search engine.
What do we want to do? What goal do we have? We want to remain an independent data-safe search engine. The strict privacy regulations of Switzerland enable the most secure servers without access from the EU or the US. Together, we can ensure more privacy, data protection and internet freedom.
Child and Youth Protection! More and more children and youth use the Internet. For us, the protection of children's privacy is of utmost importance. No one has to accept violence and pornography appearing in the search results and in the worst case being discovered by children. Where there is a lack of parental supervision, children and youth often come across internet contents that they shouldn’t be seeing. Swisscows helps with a worldwide clean internet. We owe it to our children!
Will I receive a donation receipt and is my donation tax deductible? Yes, right after you have transferred the donation, you will receive a donation receipt via email. However, we can’t guarantee a tax deduction.
Can a company donate? Yes, many companies already support us. The transferred donation can be entered as general advertising expenses.
Doesn’t Swisscows generate income through advertisement? For the reason that Swisscows does NOT monitor users, thus doesn’t spy out data and NO data is sold to advertisers, only few companies are interested in advertising on Swisscows. This revenue unfortunately doesn’t cover the expenses on data center, development, employees, etc.
