Linking an Email Address to DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro

You don’t need to provide us with your email to use Privacy Pro, though you can opt to do so for ease of activation across devices. If you choose to link an email address, DuckDuckGo only uses it for that purpose.

What if I don’t want to link my email address?

You can activate your subscription in the following ways to avoid sharing your email address with DuckDuckGo.

If you purchased Privacy Pro via our website or purchased Privacy Pro in the DuckDuckGo browser downloaded from our website, you can activate Privacy Pro on your other devices following these instructions and authenticate using the email address you used to purchase Privacy Pro through our payment processor, Stripe.

If you downloaded our browser from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you can activate your subscription through your app store account for Apple and Google devices, respectively.

If I choose to link an email, do I need to use the same email to activate Privacy Pro on multiple devices?

Yes. Currently, Privacy Pro only supports one email per subscription. You can change this email address, but you can’t link two emails to the same subscription.

I have a question not covered here, how can I get help?

Please contact support at [email protected]. If you have ideas on how to improve Privacy Pro, please share it using the Share Feedback button in the DuckDuckGo browser.
