How does the qwant.us key work?

With a qwant.us key you search ad-free. You receive tokens from which one search is deducted per search. When you use a qwant.us key, all features that protect qwant.us from automated calls are disabled. This means that you won't see captcha requests and your IP address won't be kept for a limited time. Simply put, this will make qwant.us faster, more reliable and more secure.

You can use the anonymous token with our browser extension or app. This will allow you to search even more securely with qwant.us. When using anonymous token, a part of your credit, in the form of random passwords, will be stored on your device. Through a complex cryptographic process, it becomes impossible even for us to associate your performed searches with each other, or with your key.

In this case, you can request a refund for unused tokens within 30 days of purchase. To do this, you will need your payment ID. To request a refund, open the qwant.us key management page. There, click on the "Orders" menu item and enter your payment ID. After that you can click on the button "Request refund" and send the refund request.

Your privacy and anonymity are very important to us. That is why we offer anonymous payment methods (cash). We also offer the use of anonymous tokens, which they can even use to search verifiably anonymously.

For this, you only need your payment ID. To request the invoice, open the qwant.us key administration page. Here you click on the "Orders" menu item and enter your payment ID. Now you can click on the button "Request invoice" and start the invoice request. For the invoice we need your full name, your e-mail address and your address.

For our members, the key included in the membership is automatically topped up on a monthly basis. The amount of token here depends on the membership fee paid.
