Hello, I am the founder of Givero. We just launched, and are excited to share
https://www.givero.com with you.
Givero is the search engine for people who want to positively impact the World.
We donate half of our advertising revenue to good causes like Save the Children, Eden Reforestation Projects, The Ocean Cleanup and more.
A few Q&As:
* 50% of our gross revenue goes directly to charity.
* Who we are and why we do this: https://www.givero.com/about
* We get our results from a Bing feed distributor:
Why not directly from Bing? Because Bing requires millions of searches per month before a direct deal is possible.
Why not your own index then? We tried that and gave up on the idea (we are the guys behind the now-closed Findx private search engine).
* We are privacy-centric:
We never log your IP-address, and we do not create a search history or profile.
As opposed to e.g., DuckDuckGo, we are required to pass on your IP to our search partner.
Our partner only uses the IP-address for fraud prevention and metrics provided to us.
We have a special agreement that does not allow Bing to use IP-addresses for personalized ads.
In addition to that, you can opt-out of personalized results on the search result page.
Our view on privacy: https://info.givero.com/privacy/.
* We work with full transparency:
We're a Danish company and required by law to publish our accounts yearly, and we will be releasing monthly reports of earnings and donations.
* We have open source Instant Answers:
Our first IAs are based on DDG's open source IAs: https://info.givero.com/developer/
* We have open source Search Bangs:
Like DDG's Bangs, but Apache licensed: https://github.com/giverosearch/bangs
