Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

swisscows is a search engine from Switzerland with a focus on privacy and family friendliness, filtering out explicit content. Results come from the Bing search index combined with an index the company builds itself.

The service is hosted in data centres in Switzerland, which puts it under Swiss rather than US rules and makes it a European alternative to the large US search engines. It suits families and anyone who does not want their searches attached to a profile.
