Wait, isn't this very page you linked them "disclosing it transparently to the user"? Or are you talking about the content of it not being transparent enough for you?
This is mentioned nowhere in the privacy policy, and it's not at all clear to me that the things that are mentioned on that page are not identifiable. The requests being made to improving.duckduckgo.com, according to the browser console, contain things like browser, OS, language preferences, etc. Take a look at this: https://duckduckgo.com/util/u598.js.
