While we already block most tracking while browsing, we believe GPC will ultimately provide additional legal protection in certain jurisdictions for situations where websites might otherwise sell or share your data with other companies that may profit or benefit from it (such as selling data you give them to advertisers or data brokers after your visit). It’s also why, just a few months ago, we announced being a founding member of a new standards effort called Global Privacy Control (GPC), which is a browser or device setting that, when enabled, signals to all visited websites a preference for privacy. That’s why we pack our DuckDuckGo mobile apps and browser extensions with so much to keep you private online, including best-in-class tracker blocking, private search, and Smarter Encryption. Global Privacy Control (GPC), the setting exercising your legal right to opt-out of the sale & sharing of personal data, is now enabled by default in the DuckDuckGo app & extension.Īt DuckDuckGo, we believe that everyone deserves simple online privacy protection.
