I tried DuckDuckGo’s new Apple Maps integration with several different searches. For better results, users can grant DuckDuckGo permission to use their browser location data, in which case DuckDuckGo says searches are still anonymous because the company does not store location data on its servers. We do not send any personally identifiable information such as IP address to Apple or other third parties.ĭuckDuckGo explains elsewhere on its site that it uses GEO::IP lookup to determine users’ location by default. Naturally, our strict privacy policy of not collecting or sharing any personal information extends to this integration. With respect to location tracking, DuckDuckGo says:Īt DuckDuckGo, we believe getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds.
