We can use our monthly search count to estimate how many people use DuckDuckGo by dividing the total by the average number of searches per person done on other search engines that do track their users. You might be wondering: how can we count searches without tracking people? Since searches are not tied to individuals and are therefore anonymous, we do not know who is making these searches, only that they occurred. Since we do not track users, it’s impossible for us to know exactly how many users visit our site every month, though we are able to make an educated guess based on the number of searches we get per month. You may find it surprising to learn that we don’t know how many people use DuckDuckGo! It makes sense though when you take a look at our Privacy Policy – we don’t collect or share personal data, including linking searches to individuals – and so we simply have no way to accurately count people, even anonymously. We operate a search engine alternative to Google at, and offer additional apps and extensions to protect you from Google, Facebook and other trackers, no matter where you go on the Internet. If you’re unfamiliar with DuckDuckGo, we are an Internet privacy company that empowers you to seamlessly take control of your personal information online, without any tradeoffs.
