We met three of our users… extract!
A few weeks ago, we went to meet our users, to exchange with them on their use of Qwant. Anonymously, they talk to us about their motivation to use Qwant. Respect for their personal data, no tracing of their research… Qwant is the search engine that knows nothing about you, and for them, it changes everything!
“I am a cybersecurity consulting engineer”
“I am a high school student in my final year and I am very interested in communication and I would like to make it my job.”
“I work in a bank specializing in business leaders and therefore the management of their wealth.”
“I’ve been using Qwant for just over 3 years.”
“Qwant, I discovered that, I think around 2015, 2016.”
“I discovered on an article I read on the Internet that promoted a European French search engine and suddenly, I was quite interested.”
“Qwant interested me quite a bit because on the one hand it’s French, so I said to myself in terms of personal data management, we are still a little more protective. And then because it wasn’t these search engines, precisely American, who could monetize the data and do a lot of things that I’m not aware of.”
“I talked to my parents, my friends too.”
“I’ve even talked about it in my professional sphere. For me, we are not sufficiently aware of the subject. Since it’s all virtual, people can’t understand what it implies, what it implies.”
“I think we are all a little touched by the respect of our privacy, we like that what we do on the Internet, stays on the Internet and not disclose to the whole world.
“Private life is a bit what we have left in the evening, when we have finished the working day, when we have seen a lot of people. That’s what we have left, that’s our secret garden. It’s intimate, it’s what we choose or not to present to people. It’s also something that is also somewhere secret.”
“In life, you don’t like to be hunted. Well, it’s like someone following me down the street, we wouldn’t like it.”
“The protection, quite simply, of my personal data. I didn’t want to leave a trace, I wanted to have the most neutral results possible.”
“There are people who have nothing to hide. I often use the example. In this case, leave your door open and then let people in. And then privacy today, it’s something important. It’s something you have to stand for.”
“Privacy will be priceless at some point.”
