Search Encrypt — The Privacy Based Search Engine

Unlike Google, we don’t track you. Search Encrypt doesn’t track any identifiable information about its users. Search Encrypt has a feature called “perfect forward secrecy” that makes sure users never have to worry about the security of their data.

We designed Search Encrypt to be private from the ground up. It makes sure that your data is secure and encrypted both locally and on our servers. Search Encrypt uses industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer), which keeps your search terms encrypted and private. Private search engines are a valuable tool that can protect you and your information. Our goal is to make the internet a safer and more private place in the future.
