The DuckDuckGo logo, for a privacy-focused search engine, consists of a circular mark and the service name. The dark orange circle is outlined with a white ring; inside is the profile head of a cartoon white duck with a yellow beak and a green bow tie on its neck. Next to it is the “DuckDuckGo” wordmark set in a dark gray sans-serif typeface.
DuckDuckGo is a US company and ecosystem of products for private search and browsing, founded by Gabriel Weinberg and launched in 2008. Its core product is DuckDuckGo Search, positioned as search without user profiling: the service does not tie queries to a personal profile and does not keep search history as a user identifier. For results, DuckDuckGo uses its own sources (including a crawler) and partner data for “classic” results, with partner queries routed through DuckDuckGo’s infrastructure so user data is not passed to partners directly. Beyond search, the company develops a browser and extensions with tracker protection, as well as services such as DuckDuckGo Email Protection (including @duck.com addresses) and a paid subscription with additional privacy features.
