DuckDuckGo started life as a privacy-focused search engine before adding a web browser, email security, and more , and the company has announced its first paid subscription: DuckDuckGo PrivacyPro.
It includes an open source VPN service, personal information removal, and data theft recovery for $9.99 per month &# 8230;
DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo web browser was Originally created in response to concerns about the growing use of trackers, especially by Google.
The browser offers anonymous search on the Internet. The Company does not collect any of your personal information, such as IP address or unique identifiers, and does not use any trackers. It also blocks third-party trackers, such as those used by Facebook. Email protection was later added to remove tracking codes from promotional emails.
Currently, all of the company's products are funded by advertising, although since they cannot be personalized ads, they display generic ones that bring significantly less income.
DuckDuckGo PrivacyPro
Now the company is venturing into paid services using the “three in” combination one.”
- anonymous VPN Designed for speed, security and simplicity. Secure your connection anytime, anywhere, on up to five devices at once.
- Deleting personal information, which finds and removes personal data such as your name and home address from data broker sites. who store and sell them, helping to combat identity theft and spam.
- Identity theft recovery. If your personal information is stolen, a dedicated consultant can help you recover stolen accounts, will help you recover financial losses and help you fix your credit report.
The company says this combination provides the most comprehensive protection.
The DuckDuckGo browser itself allows you to search and view information privately. By adding Privacy Pro, you can also limit data brokers' access to your personal information and protect your internet connection across your entire device, which hides your location and device IP address from the sites you visit – all in one place.
Costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year
The service costs $9.99 per month, or you can save with an annual subscription of $99 per year.
The company claims that “receiving these services is separate from other companies can cost more than $30 per month.” ” but that seems like an exaggeration.
The main value here is the VPN service, which is a relatively expensive offering compared to no-log services like NordVPN. But if you actively want automatic data broker removal requests and theft insurance detection, this could be a smart deal.
