A little over three months ago we stopped the service of our search engine AstianGO with the purpose of renewing the search engine, and today we show the public a functional alpha, which is basically the prelude to our work and our renewal.
[/porto_ultimate_heading][porto_ultimate_heading main_heading=”Commitment to the Protection of Sensitive Data” alignment=”{“xl“:“left“}”]AstianGO currently operates using the Bing feed as a search provider, implementing parameters and filters to safeguard user privacy. Like other search engines such as: DuckDuckGO, Qwant, Ecosia and StartPage, but we have big differences, 1) We are not a big tech, 2) we apply filters to maintain maximum privacy, 3) Our focus is not on marketing and advertising 4) We strive to prevent the transmission of metadata or sensitive information to Bing, which is owned by Microsoft. In the near future, we are developing our own index, leading the way towards complete independence from third parties.[/porto_ultimate_heading][vc_single_image image=”3987″ img_size=”full”][porto_ultimate_heading main_heading=”Why Bing?” alignment=”{“xl“:“left“}”]The choice of Bing is strategic and temporary. We seek to offer open source and free software services that promote privacy, but building our own stack is a daunting task. We use available resources, such as Bing, to boost ourselves while we work on our independent index.[/porto_ultimate_heading][porto_ultimate_heading main_heading=”Privacy as a priority: We do not compromise your Digital Identity” alignment=”{“xl“:“left“}”]At the heart of AstianGO is an unwavering commitment to privacy. We do not profile users, we do not store searches, and we do not track or sell sensitive information. Our promise is to keep your search experience free of intrusions, without invasive advertising based on your preferences.[/porto_ultimate_heading][porto_ultimate_heading main_heading=”Analytics: Transparency and Responsible Statistics” alignment=”{“xl“:“left“}”]To evaluate the usability of AstianGO and other services, we use Matomo for statistical purposes. Hosted at analytics.astian.org, this instance of Matomo guarantees maximum privacy, storing data in a non-readable form, such as anonymized IPs. Our priority is transparency and protection of user information.[/porto_ultimate_heading][porto_ultimate_heading main_heading=”Advertising: Sustainability without Privacy Compromise” alignment=”{“xl“:“left“}”]We understand the importance of advertising to support our operations. In consultation with the Midori community, we have decided to adopt privacy-friendly advertising. Advertising and announcements with responsibility and total respect for the privacy of our thousands of users. This advertising will not be directed, nor will it be invasive, the advertising will be based on the keywords consulted. This advertising will not be stored, it will not generate a user profile, and no tracking will be generated. Committed to privacy.[/porto_ultimate_heading][porto_ultimate_heading alignment=”{“xl“:“center“}”]AstianGO is not just a search engine; It is a declaration of principles. A place where privacy, transparency and security converge to give users the confidence they deserve in their online experience. Join us on this journey towards safer and more conscious online searching.[/porto_ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row wrap_container=”yes” el_class=”call-to-action-in-footer” css=”.vc_custom_1543831055944{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”The alpha preview version of AstianGO It is available search privately and without a trace” txt_align=”center” shape=”square” style=”flat” color=”white” add_button=”right” btn_title=”Try AstianGO Now!!!” btn_style=”modern” btn_color=”primary” btn_size=”lg” btn_align=”center” btn_skin=”dark” btn_show_arrow=”yes” btn_el_class=”btn-call-to-action” css=”.vc_custom_1709707722264{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}” el_class=”mb-0″ btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fastiango.co”]The internet and the web can be a scary place but with Astian you can browse and search without fear.[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row]
