Ever wondered what Google knows about you? Your searches, your location, the YouTube videos you watch, the ads you tap - it's all being collected. Privacy Guard shows you what's collected and takes you straight to the switches that turn it off. Checking your privacy normally means digging through dozens of confusing pages scattered across your Google account. Privacy Guard brings them together in one simple checkup you can finish in minutes. WHAT YOU CAN REVIEW AND CONTROL • Web & App Activity - see and manage your Google search and activity history • Location History & Timeline - decide whether Google keeps a map of everywhere you go • YouTube history - control your watch and search history • Ad personalization - review how your data is used to target ads, and opt out • Gemini & Assistant activity - manage what your AI conversations save • Chrome & Drive - review browser and storage privacy settings • Google Takeout - download a copy of the data Google stores about you • Third-party access - see which apps can read your account data • Security Checkup - passwords, 2-Step Verification, signed-in devices • Facebook privacy settings - review your Meta account's controls in the same place YOUR PRIVACY SCORE Get a simple score that shows how much data you're sharing right now.

Privacy Guard reminds you to re-run your checkup and shows exactly what changed since your last visit. HONEST BY DESIGN Privacy Guard is not a VPN, ad blocker, or antivirus, and it can't make you anonymous. It does something simpler and more transparent: it takes you straight to the official Google and Facebook privacy controls - the same settings that are otherwise scattered and hard to find - and helps you understand and manage them. Every change is applied in your own account, by you. Run your first privacy checkup today - it takes less than two minutes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Split Screen at 82% against Privacy Guard's 0%. Split Screen also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 1). Privacy Guard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
