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.
