Privacy policy

What the app stores

PrivacyGuard is a local Windows application. It reads and, with your confirmation, writes Windows privacy-related settings on the device where you install it.

• Change history and restore points are stored only under {path} on your PC.
• The desktop app does not send that data — or your personal files — to our servers.
• We do not keep a copy of your settings or history.

What the app changes

Only after you confirm a dialog. Affected areas can include:

• Telemetry policy
• Advertising ID
• Activity history
• Cortana / Copilot policy
• Feedback prompts and tailored experiences
• Two optional services: DiagTrack and dmwappushservice

Critical Windows services are never modified.

What we collect on the website

This marketing website may be hosted by a provider that logs standard web requests for security and reliability, such as:

• IP address
• Browser
• Pages viewed

We do not use that to profile your Windows privacy settings.

Third parties

We do not sell your data. This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Language and theme preferences stay in your browser.

The hosting provider may log standard web requests as described above. The desktop app’s history stays on your PC and is not sent to our servers.

Data retention

App history and restore points remain on your PC under {path}. We do not receive a copy, so we do not retain that data on our servers.

Website request logs, if any, are handled by the hosting provider for security and reliability — not to profile your Windows privacy settings.

Contact

The desktop app does not collect contact details. For questions about this policy, use the support information published with the Windows installer.
