Startpage is a privacy-focused technology company based in The Hague, South Holland, operating in the technology, information and internet sector. For more than 15 years, it has worked to protect online privacy. In 2006, it introduced the first private search engine that returned Google results without logging the IP address of the user or storing personal data. Since then, it has expanded its offerings to cover privacy beyond search, including a privacy protection extension and a private browsing option called Anonymous View. Its target users are individuals who prioritize privacy in their online activities, as well as organizations seeking privacy-preserving search features or integrations. The company addresses the risk of exposing personal data and online footprints during searching and browsing. In 2025, Startpage formed partnerships with Land & Home Sales and MapQuest to provide a white-label mapping solution for third-party websites and search engines, illustrating expansion of privacy-enabled services beyond search. The organization operates with a relatively small to mid-sized team from The Hague, continuing to position itself within the global privacy technology landscape.
