Startpage is now a default anonymous search option for Volla

Users of the smartphone alternative Volla Phone can now make Startpage their default search engine.

Today’s mobile devices are increasingly consuming people’s attention and time with a myriad of notifications, apps and cloud services. The new, alternative smartphone created by Volla strives to give people their time back to focus on what matters to them. Volla stands for a post app paradigm with a user experience of immediacy, with which you can do what you want without detours.

The home screen/ springboard of Volla OS is the quick start for all important everyday functions of the Volla Phone. This includes searching the Internet. Users can now choose between different search engines including Startpage. Volla asked to partner with Startpage, not only because our search engine consistently protects privacy, but also offers added value in terms of quality.

With Volla Phone, they want to offer a simple and secure alternative to Apple and Google. Integrating an anonymous search into Springboard offers several advantages for the user. In addition to protecting their privacy and getting more neutral results, users can quickly find an answer to a question on the fly without opening the browser. 

For Startpage, the partnership with Volla represents an ideal mutual complement. “With the increased use of cell phones, a lot of privacy is being lost,” explains CEO Robert E.G. Beens, “With the Volla phone, there is finally a way to take back control of our cell phone data. Startpage is very excited to be available as the default search engine on Volla. Our partnership is an ideal, mutual fit in this regard.” Startpage and Volla share the same privacy mission and together can offer their customers a unique and truly anonymous search experience.

Startpage is funded solely by contextual advertising. User data or profiles are not required for this. Only the search queries are decisive.
