Do you think it really doesn't train on your data?

I've been using it and it looks good so far, I just ask simple questions and never let the context get too big.

It's good that it doesn't require login, just open and ask something.

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I'm inclined to believe DDG.
