If Sync is using any kind of advertising platform (Google...) -- then this is likely just the things that their Advertising add-in for the app probably wants to track. Highly doubt it's the app itself. DDG is kind of shady in and of itself. They're tracking you too, they just don't do it on the front-end, they do it in the back-end so you can't see it.
Wait what do you mean, tracking on the back end? Can you point me to any articles on the same?
