![]() ![]() what is known as "Classical Personal Data". Piriform/Avast (and others) seem to be relying on the reply that they are not collecting your name, address, email, etc. The question of importance is if that data that could identify you (or your device) individually or not? Their privacy statements that you link to are disjointed, and statements made there and elsewhere conflict with each other. They (and others) freely admit that they are collecting data. In the rest of the world you should have your own Data Protectction laws to cover this.Ģ) This constant monitoring crap is probably going to be the last straw for many previously loyal users.ĪV's (Avast) get away with it by saying that they have to monitor constantly to keep you safe from viruses, but a file cleaner does not need to be constantly monitoring. This is subject to GDPR in Europe and you can make a request to see just what they hold about you by means of a Subject Access Request. ![]() Piriform say that the only personal data held is in connection with payments made for the 'Professional' versions. Of course that all depends on just what is being collected and if it could identify you, or your personal device, in any way. (Although it may be covered by other laws). It is usually correct that if the data cannot identify you personally then it is not an individual data protection concern and so is not covered by data protection law. As GDPR covers personal data, and we do not collect any personal data to share with any parties, we have removed this box to avoid confusion.

I recommend, that Piriform makes some changes to their process for CCleaner, or you may get your self into legal trouble, and also lose the trust of users of CCleaner. Forcing people to give up their privacy, in the latest version, is not good policy, AND should be announced when a user first installs CCleaner. Piriform is violating users trust, by allow the application to continually run, even after it has be closed, and to forcibly collect users information, by removing the option in the latest version to Turn on/ off of the Privacy setting. This day and age, with issues like Facebook data leak, and such other types of incidents with personal information. ![]() , compared to the previous versions, which one could stop either of these processes from running, and not allow Piriform to collect data from your computer constantly.īasically Piriform needs to Notify Users, when they initially install the latest version of CCleaner, or it will continue to monitor and track what you are doing on the computer. This also is a change in the functionality of CCLeaner, and Users have not be notified when installing the latest version, that Piriform will be constantly monitoring your systems, and collecting data.īoth of these aspects, are a change in the CCleaner v. You are now forced to allow Piriform to collect data from your system, and there is no way to stop this, unless you remove the application.Ģ.) I also noticed that now CCleaner dose not shut down/close when you exit out of the application, it still shows the application to run, and there is no way to stop the latest version from constantly monitoring/running unless you forcibly terminate the application. I have noticed two things with CCleaner latest version ()ġ.) Under ""Options" then "Privacy" setting, Piriform, has removed the option to NOT collect information when using CCleaner off of users computers. ![]()
