DuckDuckGo’s private AI chats don’t train on your data by default


DuckDuckGo is trying to make AI chats private, too.

It won’t store your chats, nor can the companies behind each AI model use them for training — saving you from jumping through a settings menu just to opt out. As noted in DuckDuckGo’s privacy policy page, it removes all metadata containing your personal information, including your IP address, before sending your query. Last year, DuckDuckGo launched DuckAssist inside its search engine, a feature that automatically surfaces AI-generated answers — similar to Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini.
