About
DuckDuckGo is an internet privacy company founded in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg and headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania. The company operates the world's most widely used privacy-focused search engine, which does not track user searches, build personal profiles, or use behavioral targeting for advertising. Instead of personalized ads, DuckDuckGo serves contextual advertising based solely on the keywords in the current search query — a model that has proven commercially viable while delivering on the company's core privacy promise. DuckDuckGo processes over 100 million search queries per day and has grown substantially following a series of high-profile data privacy controversies involving Google.
