How Ecosia handles your data, where it's stored, and what certifications back their claims.
Germany (HQ: Berlin, Germany) / Ecosia GmbH (steward-owned, cannot be sold)
Ecosia is a German company, so your data falls under EU and German privacy law. Your IP address gets anonymized within 7 days. Ecosia does not build personal profiles from your searches and does not sell your data. One trade-off: search queries go through Microsoft Bing to deliver results, and Bing keeps IP addresses for up to 6 months. Ecosia is building its own European search index with Qwant to reduce this dependency over time.
