EU Monthly Active Users of Our Online Search Engine and Duck.ai
When searching or browsing on DuckDuckGo, we don’t track you, ever. That’s our Privacy Policy in a nutshell. For example, we do not create unique cookies and, more generally, architect our search engine and browser so that we cannot even create a search or browsing history for any individual — it’s privacy by design. Our approach to AI extends this strategy by integrating private, useful, and optional Ai features that don’t track how you use them or train on your data. Duck.ai offers free access to popular chatbots, anonymized by us.
The European Union (EU) requires publication of the average number of monthly active recipients of each search engine service we offer in the EU every six months. As we do not track our users, the average number of monthly active recipients below is based on anonymized data. We have calculated the figures using survey data, which tells us the average number of searches or Duck.ai queries conducted by users, applied against an estimate of the total number of searches or Duck.ai queries with web search conducted from the EU which we also estimate using Anonymous Localized Results.
