"Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal (EuroPriSe) for its privacy practices on July 14, 2008.[11] This European Union-sponsored initiative guarantees compliance with EU laws and regulations on data security and privacy, through a series of design and technical audits.[12] It was re-certified together with Startpage in 2009, 2011 and 2013.[13]"
"On July 7, 2009 Ixquick launched Startpage.com to offer its service at a URL that is both easier to remember and spell, and in contrast to ixquick.com, fetches results from the Google search engine.[18] This is done without saving the users' IP addresses or giving any personal user information to Google's servers."
