- jawns 6y ago> At DuckDuckGo, we do not collect or share any personal information. > These requests are anonymous and the information is used only by us to improve our products. There are some philosophical questions here, like: What information is personal information? What information is personally identifying information? What information can be made into personally identifying information, even if it's not personally identifying in its raw form? Maybe DuckDuckGo is really genuine about protecting its users' privacy. But if it is at all possible for the information it collects -- even if ostensibly anonymous -- to be used to fingerprint users, then regardless of whether DuckDuckGo intends to fingerprint users, there's a vector there that some other party (government, hacker, or otherwise) might try to leverage. I'm not saying it would be worth their time to do so. But it would be nice if DuckDuckGo were to either affirm or deny that the data it collects could conceivably be used for fingerprinting.
