Where does your search go after you hit enter on Startpage? We strip your IP address and anything that identifies you, pass the search to our partners without your name on it, and don’t keep a record of it. Staying private after you click? Look for “Visit in Anonymous View.”

Discord is making messages from public servers discoverable on search engines like Google starting this November. Server admins can opt channels out starting today. Users can opt out of sharing their messages in settings -> Data and Privacy.

Privacy isn’t a party issue. It’s about who gets to see your searches, your location and your messages. Once you’ve checked your ballot, Privacy Ballot makes a story-ready image you can share. It names no candidate. It just reminds your friends to check theirs. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov 3. Visit startpage.com/privacy-ballot #PrivacyBallot #DataPrivacy #Election2026 #OnlinePrivacy

Bots now make up 70% of Startpage traffic, up from 35% in 2024. They slow your searches and threaten free, private search. Here’s what we’re doing about it, what you might notice, and one thing we got wrong this week: startpage.com/privacy-please…

What we got wrong: from Oct 12, 9:32 PM to Oct 13, 5:25 PM CEST, a new rule wrongly blocked some real users, mostly on mobile. We’ve rolled it back and are adding broader testing so it doesn’t happen again. We’re sorry.

Your privacy remains our priority. We don’t build profiles, and your searches stay private. Still having trouble? Tell us here: support.startpage.com/hc/en-…

For years, Firefox users asked for Startpage. A billion+ private searches a year. One of their most requested search engines. Starting today, we're built into Firefox across five European countries. No extensions. No workarounds.

The best privacy setting isn't in settings.
