A new British search engine is being launched to offer users unbeatable privacy as well as a host of other benefits. WhaleSlide does not automatically store data about users – meaning information cannot be sold on or hacked. Additionally, users can nominate a charity and, every time they make an online purchase with one of WhaleSlide’s growing group of partner retailers, the search engine will donate money to that charity.
The entrepreneurs behind WhaleSlide are Fran Petruzzelli and Andy Curran. Fran said: ‘We know from our own research that privacy is the overriding concern of search engine users, which is why you can use WhaleSlide without any information about you being stored. WhaleSlide is just as good, if not better than the leading search engines – it’s fast, it’s anonymous and it doesn’t filter search results based on user preferences.’
Andy added ‘It’s easy for charities to sign up, and WhaleSlide’s donations do not cost shoppers a penny. Even a small charity with 50 or so supporters could raise £3,000 pounds a year simply by signing up and encouraging those supporters to shop smarter.’
