Using !g only DDG can identify you. G would see your query so if you included your SSN etc then they could identify that, but they don’t know your IP etc.

!g redirects to Google, so yes, they get to know these things.
Odd, I just tested it and your right. I tried it before and it had the ddg interface. I wonder if something changed or if I was using the wrong syntax.
