This information can often be used to identify you directly. In addition, when you visit any site, your computer automatically sends information about it to that site (including your User agent and IP address). We call this sharing of personal information "search leakage."įor 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). This paragraph was added.Īt 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). Removed dead link (Scroogle) and added a missing 'to'. Removed ", which gets sent to my personal email." in last paragraph as our feedback is now handled by multiple team members via. The rest of this page tries to explain why you should care. That is our privacy policy in a nutshell. There's also a quick link to Create new Duck Address when you open the extension.DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. In your desktop web browser, click the DuckDuckGo extension icon, then the cog button, then Settings and Email Protection. There aren't many settings for Email Protection, but you can get to them in the mobile DuckDuckGo app by tapping the menu button (the three dots) and then Settings and Email Protection. It's not the most elegant way of managing your email addresses, but it does the job. To delete one of your private email addresses-perhaps if you're getting too much spam sent to it or you've stopped using the app that you used it to sign up for-you need to find an email sent to this address, then click More on the summary at the top of the message, then choose Deactivate next to the email address. At the bottom there's a feedback form you can use to report any problems with the service (remember, it's still in beta.)
If the service has been able to upgrade any of the links to secure HTTPS-another perk of Email Protection-then again this will be outlined on the same page. Click More on this summary to get more detail, including the specific tracking tools that have been stripped out of the message.
