## App Store description

DuckDuckGo describes its browser as a free privacy-focused browser designed to protect personal information from hackers, scammers, and privacy-invasive companies by preventing collection. Its built-in search engine is described as similar to Google but without tracking searches. The browser uses privacy-respecting search ads as its business model rather than exploiting users’ data.

### Included privacy and browsing features

- **DuckDuckGo Search:** Built in for searching without tracking.
- **3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection:** Blocks most trackers before they load.
- **Duck.ai:** Enables private conversations with third-party AI models; conversations are anonymized by DuckDuckGo and are not used to train AI.
- **Search Assist:** An optional integrated AI feature described as private and not using user data to train AI.
- **Email Protection (optional):** Blocks most email trackers and provides `@duck.com` addresses that hide an existing email address.
- **Duck Player:** Provides a distraction-free way to watch YouTube videos without targeted ads and cookies, using YouTube’s strictest privacy settings for embedded video.
- **HTTPS enforcement:** Forces many sites to use HTTPS to help protect data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers.
- **Fingerprinting protection:** Blocks attempts to combine browser and device information into a unique identifier.
- **Encrypted sync and backup (optional):** Syncs encrypted bookmarks and passwords across devices.
- **Fire Button:** Quickly clears tabs and browsing data.
- **Cookie-popup controls:** Banishes cookie pop-ups and automatically sets preferences intended to minimize cookies and maximize privacy.
- **Additional protections:** Includes protection from link tracking and support for Global Privacy Control (GPC), among other protections.

### DuckDuckGo subscription

Subscribers get:

- **VPN:** Secures a connection on up to **5 devices**.
- **Advanced AI models in Duck.ai:** Private access to AI models for complex tasks.
- **Personal Information Removal:** Finds and removes personal information from sites that store and sell it; access is available on desktop.
- **Identity Theft Restoration:** Provides help restoring an identity if it is stolen.

Subscription payment is charged automatically to the user’s Apple Account until cancellation in app settings. Users may provide an email address to activate the subscription on other devices; DuckDuckGo says it uses that email address only to verify the subscription.
