About Swisscows AG
Swisscows is a secure search engine based in Switzerland that prioritizes user privacy and data security. It functions as an alternative to major search engines by ensuring that no personal data is collected, no search history is stored, and no tracking cookies are used. The service is known for its family-friendly approach, automatically filtering out inappropriate content from search results. The company operates its own infrastructure in a TIER IV certified data center located in the Swiss Alps. By maintaining its own servers and operating under Swiss jurisdiction, Swisscows avoids reliance on foreign cloud providers and ensures that all search queries remain anonymous and protected from third-party surveillance.
