Mojeek is an independent UK search engine, run by Mojeek Limited (Brighton/Croydon, private, company #06918197), with its own crawler and index rather than reselling Google or Bing results. Its own privacy policy states it does not place cookies by default, does not record IP addresses (replacing them with a country-level code), and never sells or distributes log data to third parties; its iOS App Store privacy label declares the app collects no data at all. Mojeek monetizes through a small, invite-only contextual advertising program ("Mojeek Ads") that it describes as non-tracking, rather than third-party behavioral ad networks. No independent security audit, breach, or regulatory action was found during this research, so the good record rests mainly on the operator's own statements plus UK company-registry confirmation of its corporate existence, not on third-party verification.

COLLECTION
The Mojeek iOS app's App Store privacy label, self-declared by the developer, states the app does not collect any data at all, the strongest 'Data Not Collected' designation Apple offers.
Mojeek's privacy policy states that by default it does not place any cookies on a visitor's computer, and only does so with explicit agreement (e.g. for saving personal preferences).
UK Companies House independently confirms Mojeek Limited (company #06918197) as an active private limited company, incorporated 28 May 2009, registered at 74 High Street, Croydon — corroborating the operator's own ownership disclosure via a mandatory public registry.
Mojeek's own advertising product page describes its ad targeting as contextual (based on search-query intent, category, keyword, and country) rather than cross-site behavioral profiling, and states Mojeek has never tracked users for ad purposes.
Mojeek's privacy policy states that even the non-identifying log data it retains (country, time/date, page requested, referral, browser data) is never sold or distributed to third-party vendors, and is used only for internal traffic/demographic analysis.
Mojeek's own company history page claims 15+ years of operating as a no-tracking independent search engine, but this is a self-reported longevity claim rather than a third-party audit, transparency report, or bounty program, and no breach, lawsuit, or regulatory action against Mojeek was found during this research.
Mojeek's privacy policy states it does not implement user tracking and does not record visitor IP addresses at all — instead replacing the IP with a two-letter country code, which it says removes any possibility of tracking or identifying a particular user.
