DuckDuckGo's Privacy Pro is a new set of tools designed to enhance online privacy. It includes:

• An anonymous VPN that secures up to five devices simultaneously.
• A personal information removal service that locates and deletes your details from data broker sites.
• An identity theft restoration service offering a dedicated advisor to assist with account restoration, loss recovery, and credit report correction in the event of compromised information.

DuckDuckGo's Privacy Pro services are unique because they do not require users to submit any personal information to use them. All data is stored encrypted on the user's local device, and actions such as VPN activity and personal information removal requests are initiated directly from the device.

The tools included in DuckDuckGo's Privacy Pro can't work on mobile because all data is stored encrypted on a local device, and the Privacy Pro dashboard is currently inaccessible outside of a Mac or PC. However, DuckDuckGo is working on making these tools available for mobile use in the future.

Payments for DuckDuckGo's Privacy Pro subscriptions are securely processed by Stripe, Google Play, or the Apple App Store. DuckDuckGo does not store any payment information itself, ensuring an additional layer of security for users' financial data.

Users can subscribe to DuckDuckGo's Privacy Pro for a monthly fee of $9.99 or an annual fee of $99.99. Currently, the subscription is only available to customers in the United States, but DuckDuckGo plans to expand to other regions in the future. This marks the first time the company has charged for a product.
