DuckDuckGo’s Email Protection can help"},"content":{"rendered":"

DuckDuckGo<\/a> is all about privacy and the company has gone out of its way to help protect consumers around the globe. One new arena it has entered is that of email privacy. You might not know this, but tracking companies can even do their thing using your email address.<\/p>\n

Consider this: Every time you sign up for a site\/service or make an online purchase, you use an email address. That email address can be used by trackers to keep tabs on your behavior. No one wants that, which is why DuckDuckGo has released the beta of its email protection service to the public at large.<\/p>\n

What is DuckDuckGo’s email protection?<\/h2>\n

Simply put, the DuckDuckGo email protection allows you to define your actual email address with the service, and then, when you need to use an email address online, you then use DuckDuckGo to create either a personal or private “Duck” address for the website in question. Any email that is then sent to the address is stripped of trackers and then forwarded to the personal email address you configured. <\/p>\n
