DUCK GO SEARCH ENGINE
What is duck- duck- go?
At other search engines, when you do a search and
then click on a link, your search terms are sent to
that site you clicked on (in the HTTP referrer
header). We call this sharing of personal
information "search leakage."
For example, when you search for something
private, you are sharing that private search not
only with your search engine, but also with all the
sites that you clicked on (for that search).
In addition, when you visit any site, your computer
automatically sends information about it to that
site (including your User agent and IP address).
This information can often be used to identify you
directly.
So when you do that private search, not only can
those other sites know your search terms, but they
can also know that you searched it. It is this
combination of available information about you
that raises privacy concerns.
SEARCH HISTORY:
Other search engines save your search history.
Usually your searches are saved along with the
date and time of the search, some information
about your computer (e.g. your IP address, User
agent and often a unique identifier stored in a
browser cookie), and if you are logged in, your
account information (e.g. name and email
address).
But,
DuckDuckGo takes the approach to not collect any
personal information. The decisions of whether and
how to comply with law enforcement requests,
whether and how to anonymize data, and how to
best protect your information from hackers are out
of our hands. Your search history is safe with us
because it cannot be tied to you in any way...
