Qwant is a European search engine created with the mission of redefining how users interact with information online. Built on the principles of privacy, neutrality, and digital sovereignty, Qwant positions itself as an alternative to dominant search platforms that rely heavily on personal data collection. From its inception, Qwant has committed to protecting user privacy by refraining from tracking individuals, storing search histories, or constructing advertising profiles.
As a European technology initiative, Qwant also aims to strengthen digital sovereignty by promoting ethical, transparent digital practices. Through continuous investment in its own indexing technologies and algorithms, Qwant seeks to offer a reliable, high-quality search experience while upholding the values of openness, fairness, and user empowerment.
Together Qwant and the Danish news industry, DPCMO, wish to advance a collaborative model that promotes ethical digital practices, protects content creators, and fosters public trust in online information.
