PrivacyRadar
A portable read-only Windows privacy application that inventories installed software, startup entries, capability permissions and selected privacy settings, then explains evidence-linked findings and safe next steps in plain language.
Who this product is for
Windows users and support teams who want a local, evidence-linked privacy review without uploading the machine state to a service.
The decision moment
You need to understand installed software, permissions, startup behaviour and selected privacy settings before deciding what should change.
Windows privacy is scattered across too many places.
Windows privacy state is fragmented across app inventories, permissions, startup locations and system settings. PrivacyRadar brings those sources into one local, evidence-linked review surface.
See settings, permissions and apps in one place.
- Installed Win32 and AppX inventory with improved packaged-app names
- Registry and Startup-folder inventory plus capability-permission identity matching
- Eight Windows privacy checks, previous-baseline changes and contextual action panels
- Search, safe Settings links, redacted HTML reports and 18 automated validation gates
Read first. Explain. Then point to the safe control.
- Run the portable read-only scan without administrator rights
- Review applications, startup entries, permissions and privacy settings
- Inspect prioritized findings and changes against the previous local baseline
- Open the relevant Windows Settings page or export a redacted local report
Privacy you can understand
Explain the Windows privacy state instead of dumping permissions on the user.
- Turns permissions, background communication and exposure into understandable context
- Keeps privacy intelligence separate from malware detection and tracker control
- Local-first inspection avoids creating another telemetry source while checking telemetry
A privacy tool needs more than one Windows setup.
The Radar family has been exercised across four real Windows PCs: two desktops and two laptops, covering Windows 10 and Windows 11, including systems with and without dedicated GPUs. Release readiness is still verified per current build, so newer builds keep their own open gates instead of inheriting a blanket compatibility claim from earlier test rounds.
What the current build can show today.
The 0.3.8 beta candidate has 18 automated checks passing, plus recorded UI smoke, hidden-launcher, clean-extraction, redacted-report, baseline-creation and unchanged-rescan validation. Second-device and Windows 10 validation are still open release gates.
What still needs broader validation.
- Some Windows packages still expose technical or resource-based names
- Classic desktop permissions are not exposed through one complete Windows source
- Change detection compares one previous local baseline rather than a full timeline
- Second-device and Windows 10 validation, normal-user download/launch and privacy-safe release screenshots remain open before public release
Audit Windows with context, not a scare score
Use the practical Windows privacy audit for a step-by-step review and Local AI vs Cloud AI Privacy for AI-specific data-flow boundaries.
Portable 0.3.8 beta candidate with 18 automated checks passing and supporting local smoke validation. It remains a testable beta, not a public-download-ready release; second-device and Windows 10 validation, normal-user download/launch and privacy-safe release screenshots are still open.
