Why use an interface that can compromise a portion of your personal data when you can compromise all of it! /s

DuckDuckGo app > hamburger menu > Settings > App Tracking Protection > enable that shit. It'll blow your mind how often apps will attempt to sell any and all data they can collect from your online. The DDG app helps block the vast majority of it from getting to their servers.

Also consider switching your DNS provider to NextDNS. It can catch trackers DDG misses (and vice versa) and block ads in every app...except YouTube; use YT ReVanced or NewPipe for that instead.
