European roots
We were founded and remain headquartered in the Netherlands, which means that our users are protected by stringent European consumer privacy laws, including the GDPR. These are widely regarded as the strongest privacy protections in the world. Every search performed on Startpage is processed through our proprietary personal data protection technology. As part of this tech, users can choose to utilize only European servers.
