Qwant
French search engine that says it does not store search history or sell personal data. It crawls the web itself and also draws on the Staan index from European Perspective, the entity it co-founded with Ecosia, and on sources supplied by Microsoft under a technology partnership.
Ownership & control
VerifiedEU-owned, privately held
Parent: Synfonium (France)
The French register records SYNFONIUM (a French SAS) as président of QWANT SAS, and JEZBY VENTURES as président of Synfonium, so control sits with French entities. The register records governing officers, not shareholdings. Caisse des Dépôts announced on 11 April 2023 (caissedesdepots.fr press release) that Synfonium would be held 75% by Octave and Miroslaw Klaba and 25% by Caisse des Dépôts; that split has not been re-checked against a register, so parentCompany is recorded without a percentage.
