Our privacy policy is straightforward and doesn’t require a law degree to decipher: We simply do not collect or share any personal information at all. In many ways I come to you from the future: I run a business that is already GDPR and CCPA-compliant. DuckDuckGo’s browser technology blocks such hidden trackers. Many companies run sophisticated tracker networks that lurk on the websites you visit. We do not even have the concept of a search history.Īnd we also offer privacy protection beyond the search box. Have you ever searched for something only to see an ad for that very thing pop up in a mobile app or on a different website? DuckDuckGo helps you avoid these types of scenarios by seamlessly reducing your online digital footprint.Įvery time you search on DuckDuckGo, it's like you are searching on our site for the first time. They are fed up with all the intended and unintended consequences this online tracking creates, including invasive ads, identity theft, discrimination, and manipulation. We now have a distributed workforce spread across the nation in twelve states, the District of Columbia, and in ten other countries.Īs you know, people are tired of being watched everywhere they go online. We also help educate consumers about online privacy from our Twitter account, founded DuckDuckGo in 2008, far outside of Silicon Valley, in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. We regularly conduct rigorous consumer research on privacy issues, which we post at. We also offer a mobile privacy browser that serves as an alternative to Google Chrome. We are the fourth largest search engine in the US, serving over one billion searches a month globally. I am here to explain that privacy legislation, like the GDPR and CCPA, is not only pro-consumer, but also pro-business, and pro-advertising.ĭuckDuckGo's primary service is a search engine alternative to Google that allows you to search the web without being tracked.
