They auction off your data to the highest bidder.
Companies use your data to create detailed profiles about you that even include

nearly a decade. When you search for “car” we
show you a car ad — it's that simple.

“The
company
best known
for its
search
engine is
launching a
new set of
tools aimed
at creating
an ‘easy
button’ for
protecting
your data
online.”
“Tackling
email privacy
has been a
major goal
for
DuckDuckGo,
as the
company
pushes for
privacyfriendly
methods for
various
online tasks.”
“It doesn’t
allow targeted
advertising,
results are
not based on
your search
history, and
you’ll see
fewer ads
based on your
search. It’s
easy to use
and install,
too.”
“The 13-yearold company
appears to be
in a prime
position to
fulfill internet
users’
increasing
desire for
privacy in an
age of data
leaks,
breaches and
scandals.”
