February 11th.DuckDuckGo Yesterday, February 10th, a public announcement was issuedannounced that it AI Chatbotplatform Fuck Adds a real-time voice chat function, which is used to protect privacy。
UNLIKE OTHER VOICE ASSISTANTS ON THE MARKET, THE CORE SELLING POINT OF THE FUNCTION LIES IN THE “PRIORITY OF PRIVACY” ARCHITECTURE. USERS HAVE A NATURAL CONVERSATION WITH THE LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL (LLLM) VIA ENCRYPTED CHANNELS, WITHOUT FEAR OF VOICE DATA BEING TAPPED OR USED BACKSTAGE。
To balance intelligence experience with data security, Duck DuckGo uses a unique “intermediary” model. Although the bottom-up intelligence of voice chat is supported by OpenAI, DuckDuckGo created a firewall between users and OpenAI。
Officially, it was stressed that both parties were subject to strict contractual restrictions: Duck DuckGo was anonymously processing audio, OpenAI was only responsible for processing requests and the retention of data was strictly prohibited. This means that the platform does not store user chat audio or call content for training AI models。
To dispel user misgivings, Duck DuckGo published specific privacy protection details:
- (a) Temporary processing: audio streams are transmitted only when speaking and destroyed immediately after the session
- ZERO TRAINING: NEITHER THE USER ' S VOICE NOR THE AI RESPONSE FEED THE ALGORITHM MODEL
- Encrypted transmission: high-intensity encryption through webRTC and trunking servers
- Zero retention: Neither Duck Duckgo nor OpenAI will keep any records after the call。
On the use threshold, Duck.ai maintains an open strategy: users can experience it free of charge without a registered account number (subject to daily limits). For heavy users, Duck DuckGo introduced a subscription service of $10 per month (note: the current exchange rate is approximately RMB 69.3), which not only significantly increased the use limit, but was accompanied by personal information removal services and identity theft restoration services。
