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.
