Why You Should Add Search Encrypt to Your Browser

Search Encrypt is a private search engine. We don?t serve you search results or targeted ads based on your past browsing data, which gives you more complete results.

If we don?t track your search history in any user identifiable way and have no data about you, we can?t share it with advertisers or any third-parties. Companies, like Google or Facebook, who have massive amounts of data carry a huge responsibility to protect user data. If one of those companies were to leak that data, it could harm millions of people.

We don?t see the point in putting ourselves or our users at risk. Your data is encrypted locally and on our servers, so we never have any information that could be used against you. Don?t willingly share your information. Choose privacy, and protect yourself with Search Encrypt.
