I believe DDG search sells data to IG.

Clarification: DuckDuckGo uses Bing for search on the back end and passes results back and forth anonymously — or so they've said. I don't have the koalafications to verify. No, that wasn't a typo. Randomly popped in my head (from a meme years ago), so I'm leaving it. Deal with it and take the rest of my post just as seriously if you know better. ;)
i vaguely remember their images being hosted directly by Bing, maybe it's changed?
