Privacy-focused DuckDuckGo launches paid subscription service, Privacy Pro, featuring VPN, data removal tool, and identity theft restoration.

Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has launched its first paid subscription service, Privacy Pro. The $9.99/month or $99.99/year plan includes a VPN, personal information removal tool, and identity theft restoration. The VPN uses the open-source WireGuard protocol and offers full-device coverage on up to five devices simultaneously. The personal information removal tool scans 50 data broker sites to remove personal data and offers a dashboard to monitor progress. Identity theft restoration services include assistance from a dedicated advisor in restoring accounts, replacing cards, and correcting credit reports. Privacy Pro is currently available in the US and is integrated directly into the DuckDuckGo browser.
