They’re probably getting personal data for advertising like Google does, right?
According to their privacy policy, they “partner” with Google and Microsoft

Their business model is to make money from advertisements, but it seems that it’s done in a privacy-friendly manner as DuckDuckGo does.
but keep in mind that it’s not a search engine that aims to provide users with privacy

They are a search proxy, sending your query to Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and whomever else they partner with at the time. They don’t anonymize them either, which is how DDG works.
They plant trees. That was their thing. For the environment. I don’t know how they magically get lumped into privacy discussions. They don’t care about privacy at all.
