Swiss Search Engine Swisscows Expands to Kyrgyzstan – Focus on Data Privacy and Family Values

Egnach, Switzerland / Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan – The privacy-focused Swiss search engine Swisscows continues its international expansion and is now available in Kyrgyzstan – with a clear commitment to privacy, digital values, and an internet free from violence and pornography.

Developed in Switzerland, the search engine has established itself as an alternative to global providers like Google and consistently refrains from collecting personal data. Swisscows also blocks violent and pornographic content – an approach that resonates particularly well with parents, educational institutions, and value-conscious users. Kyrgyzstan shares many of these core values: protecting the family, respectful behavior in the digital space, and cultural integrity are also of great social importance there.

The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, Temir Sariev, met with the founder of the Swiss search engine Swisscows. During their discussions, the parties talked about potential areas of cooperation and the development of digital initiatives aimed at protecting personal data and promoting an ethical internet in Kyrgyzstan.

In addition to the search engine, Swisscows is also bringing a comprehensive ecosystem of secure digital services to the region. These include the privacy-focused messenger TeleGuard, a reliable VPN service, a Swiss cloud solution, and a secure email service. This means users in Kyrgyzstan not only gain access to an alternative search engine but also to a holistic, values-based digital infrastructure – developed in Switzerland and fully focused on data protection.

CEO Andreas Wiebe explains:
“Our vision is an internet that serves people – not data collection. Kyrgyzstan is a country with strong family values and a growing awareness of digital self-determination. With Swisscows and our privacy-focused ecosystem, we offer exactly the solutions needed for a healthy digital future.”

The expansion into Central Asia is part of Swisscows’ mission to create global alternatives that unite security, ethics, and technology – in line with the vision of a digitally sovereign society.
