The internet can help you learn new things every day, but the more you use it, the more other people will learn about you. While it’s great for your friends and family to know who you are, would you be willing to share your personal and sensitive information with random companies on the web? Surely not, right?
You're using DuckDuckGo wrong!
To prevent trackers embedded in apps from accessing your user data and behavior, privacy-focused search company DuckDuckGo has now rolled out an App Tracking Protection feature on Android. In this post, we’ll explain what DuckDuckGo’s App Tracking Protection is, how it works, and how to enable it on your Android phone.
iOS has a native App Tracking Transparency feature that lets users prevent apps from tracking their behavior across other third-party apps or services, or using them to serve targeted ads. On Android, Google doesn’t offer quite the same protections as Apple, but it does restrict marketers from accessing users’ advertising IDs when users opt out.
Enter – DuckDuckGo’s new App Tracking Protection feature available through the DuckDuckGo app on Android. The feature prevents trackers built into various apps on your Android device from sending sensitive data to third-party companies. These third-party companies are any company that doesn’t own an app on your Android phone.
