BCWipe Privacy Guard is designed to help Windows 10 and Windows 11 users to reclaim their privacy, minimize the amount of personal data shared with Microsoft, prevent tracking and erase traces of certain activity from local PCs (click to view full list of settings). Here is how:


Privacy Concerns in Windows:


Windows 10 and Windows 11 are known to collect more information about you as a user than any previous Windows OS in history. This includes but is not limited to your browsing and search history, activity history including apps and documents you open, your clipboard history, your location and more. BCWipe Privacy Guard monitors over 90 settings in Windows that might potentially affect your privacy. 


Why BCWipe Privacy Guard?


According to Microsoft, all the privacy-affecting settings in Windows 10 and Windows 11 are fully documented and can be switched off using Windows own user interface. However, most of the controls are scattered all over the operating system, making it hard to keep track of. In addition, these settings are often described with the focus on convenience, keeping the privacy aspect out of focus, which can be misleading. 


BCWipe Privacy Guard enables both novice and expert users to keep better track of their privacy by allowing to control all privacy-affecting settings from one interface. Novice users can achieve optimal level of privacy with just one click by enabling the Jetico-recommended settings. Expert users can fine-tune the selection using Advanced controls.


BCWipe Privacy Guard allows users to disable a lot of settings related to your privacy or built-in advertising in one click. Certainly, the program does not pretend to close all the breaches and achieve 100% of your privacy, however, it helps to control about one hundred of the settings.
