It’s not completely devoid of any tracking, but compared to its peers you don’t have to worry about DuckDuckGo selling your data to marketers and getting bombarded with ads. Unlike its more popular competitors like Bing, Yahoo, and Google, it doesn’t save your search history, IP address, device information, or any personal information. How Does DuckDuckGo Protect Your Data?ĭuckDuckGo is a private search engine that offers you anonymous search online. This may be the top reason to reduce one’s digital footprint, considering that their activity concerns more than 80% of US citizens. However, more often, private companies collect your data to market their products better. While some want to minimize their online presence, others are afraid of cybercriminals, who often use sensitive data to their advantage. According to DataProt’s findings, 86% of Americans have even tried to decrease or remove their digital footprint. And then there’s the fact that MapKit JS isn’t the full Apple Maps experience at all.With increased online tracking and data collection, web users are starting to value their cyberprivacy more and more.
Businesses may think to update their Google Maps listings long before they consider doing so for Apple Maps.
Without the huge number of searches performed on competing platforms, there’s less (anonymous) data to pull from in terms of improving the service. The service is primarily available via dedicated apps to users of Apple devices like the iPhone and Mac, and this severely limits the number of people who can use it. While Apple Maps has come a long way since its questionable launch alongside iOS 6 in 2012, it still can’t compete with Google or Bing in terms of features or search results. RELATED: Can Websites See Your Physical Location? Privacy at the Cost of Convenience and Features DuckDuckGo does not seem to be subject to these same limits, which may suggest that the search engine has cut a special deal with Apple. One interesting caveat to MapKit JS is that most applications that use it are limited to 250,000 map calls and 25,000 service calls each day.
