> DDG doesn't record search information in the first place.
That's not entirely true. DDG saves user searches. They don't save identifying information (IP, UA, etc.) along with the user search.
The below is directly from their privacy policy [0]:
"We also save searches, but again, not in a personally identifiable way, as we do not store IP addresses or unique User agent strings. We use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve things like misspellings."
