PrivacyScan

PrivacyScan is a handy little app for macOS that helps keep your online and offline activities secure. You might not know it, but things like cache files, cookies, browsing history, and other temporary files can hold personal info. This app tracks those sneaky files down and lets you delete them safely.

Why Choose PrivacyScan?

With PrivacyScan, you don’t have to worry about anyone recovering your deleted data. It overwrites those files up to 35 times! That means once you’re done cleaning up, your system stays tidy and no one can sneak a peek at your private stuff.

Getting Started with PrivacyScan

The app comes with a friendly Setup Assistant that helps you get going right away. It’ll show you how to set everything according to what you need. It even spots apps that might be leaking your privacy and gives you options to clean them up.

Browser Support and Custom Settings

You’ll be happy to know that PrivacyScan supports a bunch of web browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and more! Plus, you can tweak the settings for each browser in its Preferences window so everything fits just right.

Cleaning Options Made Easy

This app also lets you adjust cleaning settings for Finder or other apps like QuickTime and Preview. You can choose between simple deletion or using the secure shredding tool that offers different security levels—from one pass up to that super-safe 35-pass overwriting!

Stay Updated on Privacy Threats

Whenever you install a new app that could cause privacy issues, PrivacyScan will let you know! But remember—you still need to run periodic scans. Just pick the apps you want to check in the main window and hit the shredding button to wipe out any risky files.

Your Go-To Tool for Privacy on Mac

In short, if you're after an easy way to clear out cache files or cookies that might endanger your privacy on Mac, then PrivacyScan is definitely worth having around!
