How does the anonymous search engine Swisscows earn its money?
Swisscows отримує дохід двома основними способами. Перший — це продаж власних продуктів із надійним захистом персональних даних, зокрема, Swisscows Pro, VPN, Swisscows.email, EdelCloud та TeleGuard. Другий — показ реклами через нашого партнера System1. Така реклама не забезпечує повної конфіденційності, оскільки для її відображення необхідно обробляти певні дані користувача. Детальнішу інформацію про це можна знайти в нашій політиці конфіденційності.
Для тих, хто прагне користуватися пошуком на 100% анонімно та без будь-якої передачі даних, ми пропонуємо Swisscows Pro — наш найбезпечніший варіант. Таким чином, вибір завжди залишається за користувачем: безкоштовно з рекламою або повна анонімність разом зі Swisscows Pro.
Why is the private search engine Swisscows against surveillance?
Our vision: Everyone should be able to use the internet without fear of surveillance or hidden data collection. We have been working toward this for over 20 years — long before data protection became a topic for everyone.
Privacy is a fundamental right. No one should feel watched online. We are committed to making freedom and security on the internet a given.
We do not want to analyze or share user data, but to protect it.
That’s why we developed Swisscows and other products that enable true privacy:
• TeleGuard – our data-secure messenger (WhatsApp alternative)
• Swisscows Pro – the fully data-secure version of our search engine, which guarantees no data is stored or shared
• Swisscows.VPN – browse anonymously outside of Swisscows with Swisscows VPN
• EdelCloud & Swisscows Email – our solutions for private email communication and secure data storage
Our team is constantly growing and works daily on new innovations to protect users — in a digital world that collects more and more data.
