You can manage or delete shared links in Settings > Shared Chats. The Fire Button clears them too. Get all the details here: spreadprivacy.com/duck-ai-priv...
β All share pages are blocked from indexing β Chats are encrypted on your device before upload, with a key we never see β Links are long and random; can't be guessed β Links expire after 48 hours by default β There's no opt-in to discoverability
In the past year, shared AI conversations from other services have appeared in search results, sometimes including users' names and personal info. We studied those incidents before building our sharing solution so your info stays protected. Here's what we did differently:

Don't want to use AI? With us, you can easily turn if off. Do want to use AI? Our AI features don't track you, store your prompts, or train on your data. Use the internet your way.
Who's with us?
Meta says it will fix the explosion of street harassment videos made with its smart glasses by banning that content from Instagram. But content moderation can't fix an unsafe product. Our Normal F****** Sunglasses will never film people without their consent. π
There are some things which donβt require AI, such as crossing the street. Thatβs why weβre releasing Normal F***ing Sunglasses.

Our sunglasses donβt spy on you or send your data to advertisers. Neither does our private browser, search engine, or optional AI tools.

No force feeding AI over here. With us, you choose if and how AI shows up.
Tl;dr π Break up with Google
People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. π₯ It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.
