DuckDuckGo says it does not save history linked to you

DuckDuckGo says it does not save or share linked search, chat, or browsing histories, though it retains anonymous search queries to improve its indexes.

Personal details in Duck.ai prompts may reappear in answers

If you include personal information in a Duck.ai prompt, it may be reproduced in the output, even though the policy says it cannot be linked to you personally.

This applies when you use Duck.ai and include personal information in a prompt.

Duck.ai saves recent chats locally unless you opt out

If you use Duck.ai, recent chats are saved on your device by default; your browser may delete them after inactivity or keep them indefinitely.

This applies when you use Duck.ai; the policy says you can opt out of saving recent chats.

Duck.ai sends prompts to model providers under use limits

If you use Duck.ai, model providers receive your prompts; agreements bar model training and limit retention to 30 days, with safety and legal exceptions.

This applies when you use Duck.ai.

Anyone with a Duck.ai share link can read the chat

If you create a share link, anyone holding it can view the chat and continue it; links expire after 48 hours by default, and you can revoke them sooner.

This applies only if you create a Duck.ai share link.

Duck.ai voice features send your audio to a model provider

If you use voice chat or dictation, your audio goes to a model provider and transcripts are saved locally unless you opt out of recent-chat saving; recordings are not kept after the session.

This applies only if you use the optional voice chat or dictation features.

DuckDuckGo says it has never sold personal information

DuckDuckGo states that it has never sold personal information.

Duck.ai limits prompt and output rights, but not feedback

Duck.ai claims no ownership and limits its license for prompts and outputs; if you submit content as feedback, the general terms grant a lasting improvement-use license.

This applies to prompts and outputs when you use Duck.ai; separately submitted feedback is covered by the general terms' broader license.

Feedback you submit gets a perpetual improvement-use license

If you send feedback, the terms grant DuckDuckGo a perpetual license to use it to improve services, without payment or credit to you.

This applies if you choose to provide feedback about the services.

DuckDuckGo reserves suspension or termination for perceived violations

The acceptable-use list is not exhaustive, and DuckDuckGo reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for users it deems to violate its spirit.

The terms require claims to be filed in New York courts

The terms specify New York courts and New York law for claims associated with the services or terms, which may make pursuing a dispute less convenient for someone elsewhere.

The terms seek to limit DuckDuckGo's liability

The terms seek to exclude several types of damages and cap total liability at the amount paid for the service in the prior year or $100 if you had no payment obligations.
