Duck.ai simply guesses the city nearest to your location using a GEO::IP lookup. As with search, when you visit our website your device automatically sends some information to us, like an IP address. We strip out your IP address so it’s never sent to any of our model providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Together.ai, and Microsoft Azure Open. Instead, we provide a city-level location in the instructions we send to model providers, then we throw away both the guessed location and IP address, as per our Privacy Policy, saving none of that info to our servers.
You can always disable this feature by going to Duck.ai settings and turning off “Use Approximate Location.” When turned off, no location information more specific than your timezone will be sent in instructions to LLM model providers.
What other information do you share with model providers?
We share today’s date, your timezone, and a preference for unit systems (based on global region) with model providers. For example, if a Duck.ai user is in the United States, we instruct model providers to use imperial units. As explained above, we guess global region using a GEO::IP lookup and we still don’t save or share your actual location or IP address.
Providing this information to LLM models helps ensure responses are accessible and relevant to you. Learn more about how Duck.ai protects your privacy here.
