Frequently Asked Questions

What does PrivacyLearn do?

PrivacyLearn helps you control:

  • How much data about yourself you'd like to store
  • What data you allow others to collect
  • What data collection features you want to disable

These privacy settings require advanced configurations that are hard to implement. PrivacyLearn simplifies this by:

  • Providing simple ways to apply protection
  • Explaining what each setting does
  • Offering clear documentation
Why should I use PrivacyLearn?

Because your devices collect sensitive personal data including:

  • Browsing history
  • Screen content and keyboard input
  • Your files, audio, video and pictures

This data is then used to:

  • Identify and profile you
  • Show you advertisement
  • Sell to other companies
  • Disclose to government agencies
What are the benefits of using PrivacyLearn?

The main benefit is protecting your security and privacy. Besides that, PrivacyLearn helps you:

  • Improve system performance by removing unnecessary features
  • Increase disk space by removing data and data collectors
  • Block advertisements
  • Save money through reduced power consumption, and extended device lifespan
  • Reduce environmental impact by lowering waste and energy consumption

PrivacyLearn also serves as:

  • A comprehensive reference for privacy-related system changes
  • An educational resource to learn about your system's privacy features
Is it hard to use PrivacyLearn?

No, not at all.

The main purpose of PrivacyLearn is to make privacy protection accessible for everyone, easy and for free.

It usually takes 5 minutes to apply the privacy settings:

  • 1 minute to select your operating system
  • 2 minutes to review recommended settings and application methods
  • 2 minutes for the application process

Actions are automated - you don't need to change settings manually or have any technical knowledge.

Can I undo the changes?

Every change can be reversed with our one-click "Undo Protection" feature:

  • All changes are documented
  • Undo specific settings or all at once
  • Safe to try without commitment

Some privacy cleanup actions (like deleting old logs) can't be undone, but we'll always warn you clearly about these.

Is PrivacyLearn safe?

Yes! PrivacyLearn maintains security and trust through:

  • Open-source content maintained by a global community
  • Continuous verification by security professionals
  • Endorsements from major tech publications and privacy experts
  • Regular updates and comprehensive documentation

Our privacy scripts are applied tens of thousands times daily by users worldwide.

Unlike commercial privacy tools, our scripts do not collect any data or require you to create an account.

Will it break my computer?

At Standard protection level, PrivacyLearn is safe and reversible. However, advanced settings impacts system functionality.

Standard protection scripts have been safely executed over 1,000,000 times by users worldwide. Start with these tested settings before considering advanced options.

Advanced protection levels can disable system features and third-party applications. Review the documentation carefully before applying these changes.

Is PrivacyLearn free?

Yes! PrivacyLearn is completely free with no feature restrictions. We believe privacy protection should be accessible to everyone, not just large organizations who can afford expensive solutions.
