Email privacy, simplified.Ĭhoose your Duck Email Address and start giving it out. We believe protecting your personal information from leaking to third parties should be simple and seamless, like the rest of DuckDuckGo’s privacy protection bundle. You either have to switch email services or apps entirely, or degrade your email experience by hiding all images. Most existing email privacy solutions come with significant tradeoffs. Our free email forwarding service removes email trackers we can find and protects the privacy of your personal email address without asking you to change email services or apps. We’re excited to announce the beta release of DuckDuckGo’s Email Protection. Companies hide trackers in your emails that can capture personal information. This data about you is also usually sent directly to third parties, most likely without your consent. Ever open an email and see a related ad about it soon thereafter? Yup, blame email trackers.
If that isn’t creepy enough, this email data can be used to profile you, including to target you with ads, and influence the content you see online. You may be surprised to learn that we found over 85% of emails sent to Duck Addresses contained trackers that can detect when you’ve opened a message, where you were when you opened it, and what device you were using. Reading your email should be a private activity. Generate unique private email addresses in the DuckDuckGo app and extension so you can’t be tracked by your email address.Emails sent to it will forward to your regular inbox, with most of the creepy email trackers removed.
Update: Our Email Protection beta is now open to all (no more waitlist!) - read more about it here Introducing Email Protection: The easy way to block most email trackers and hide your address Filed under DuckDuckGo News on
