Can we have some clarification on what "Usage Data" the app collects and shares with advertisers?

From DuckDuckGo:

For what it’s worth, I subscribed to Ultra about an hour ago and DDG hasn’t picked up any additional tracking attempts since then. I think it may be limited entirely to Google’s ad service for the free, ad-supported tier and maybe crash diagnostics that the app gives you the option of enabling or disabling.

Byw, what duckduckgo app is this? Not their browser?

It is their browser. The tracking protection is in their browser and tells Android that it’s a VPN.

I found it! I thanks.

Side note, no tracking from sync has showed up for me so far.
