First of all, DDG's claims of privacy follow the implausible general model
of "heyyy, just trust us!"
But there's a historical reason as well. On the first day DuckDuckGo was
announced, I did a whois query on duckduckgo.com. The domain was
registered to an address in Annapolis, MD. A small building near the Naval
Academy. Not proof of course, but suggestive.
The whois record was changed soon thereafter.
