Ecosia does mention that they log IP addresses (which are made known to any server in which you connect, unless you are using a proxy web browser to connect to a web site) and process that data for aggregate analysis only. about us - Ecosia

I agree about the use of Bing/Yahoo results, it isn't the first trick they've tried (including actually PAYING people to use their search engines before)... Sure, it's a nice idea, but a quick look shows that the site is actually run for profit, so perhaps not all it seems to be.
