What is HakuHaku?

HakuHaku is a simple and easy to use internet search engine, like Google, but without ads, tracking or AI.

HakuHaku is a Finnish service that retrieves results from international search providers.

Why choose HakuHaku?

HakuHaku provides an important step towards European digital sovereignty.

We prevent identification and tracking of organisations and their employees' internet search usage by non-EU organisations and authorities.

HakuHaku is easy to setup for your organisation and personnel.

HakuHaku works without additional software, VPN or other per client configuration.

How HakuHaku works?

HakuHaku is configured as the default browser homepage and/or search engine.

HakuHaku protects your organisation and employees by performing the search on their behalf. We submit the search query anonymously to our web index providers and aggregate the results.

Web index providers receive only the search query; they cannot identify the organisation or the person who made it.

HakuHaku prevents all network and client identification, tracking and fingerprinting during searching.

The Finnish name HakuHaku was chosen specifically to describe the service's two-step operation.

User and access management

Login with company email or direct access from organisation network.

Safety limits on usage and spending.

A flexible solution that can be customised to your organisation.

Security

Your organisation will have a dedicated service on a trusted Finnish cloud provider.

The service is completely inaccessible from public internet, when configured with organisation network access.

The service operates independently from the public HakuHaku services. Separated access and authentication.

The service never stores any sensitive information.

No purchases or financial transactions can be triggered from the service. All billing, invoicing and payments are handeled offline with separate systems.

For organisations with high security requirements

  • Dedicated hardware server and/or internet connection.
  • Remote auditing access for your personnel.
  • Service runs fully in-memory with no data on disk.
  • Additional 3rd party auditing will be arranged as required.

Billing and invoicing

Transparent fees listed on the pricing page.

Monthly or annual billing based on actual usage.

Card payment can be arranged with pre-paid invoices.

We can provide organisations with specific accounting requirements as needed.
