> With Google you can be sure that they sell your data to _anybody_
This is not true. There is no documented case of Google selling any user's personal data to anyone.
Okay, fair point. Googles' business is literally selling access to all the data they have collected from you. So they are not selling your data, only the access to that data, that's right.
France has a more permissive surveillance regime than the US[0], and as a foreign (US) user I have no recourse if they spy on me.
Furthermore, here are some quotes from qwant:
>We do not use any cookies or other advertising tracers to create your profile for commercial purposes. This means that you can use Qwant with confidence, we will never try to establish your psychological or commercial profile to sell it to third parties, here or elsewhere. [1]
Note the "for commercial purposes" in the first sentence, and the "to sell it to third parties" in the second. These are weasel clauses.
