Ashampoo Privacy Inspector

Anything you do on your computer is logged, so when you open a file or access a website through your browser, that activity is most likely recorded somewhere. Though that information may be a bit difficult to accept, it's worth knowing that the data doesn't really leave your computer — unless you've got some sort of virus, that is.

Still, having the means to effectively see your Windows logs can come in handy, which is why Ashampoo Privacy Inspector might be an interesting solution to consider. Besides neatly grouping your logs into categories in a convenient manner, the tool also provides a privacy control panel of sorts, which works to help you better manage your data.

As stated earlier, anything you access on your system is logged by the OS. While this may sound scary at first, having such a solution at your disposal can prove to be useful in a number of situations.

This involves accessing certain files or websites, downloading certain items, or simply storing certain authentication data or search terms for your web surfing. You can look through each of the available categories and decide if there's anything worth pruning in your case.

The Privacy menu of the software provides some quick settings that can be adjusted to modify how your system deals with your privacy. Managing telemetry data, restricting app privileges, modifying how Windows Updates are conducted, how your system reports errors and manages synchronization across multiple devices, are only a few of the available options.

Interestingly enough, the tool is also able to retrieve deleted files, much like a dedicated recovery program. While the feature may not go as in-depth as a specialized solution, it's still nice to have and it may be able recover some of your files to good effect.

Ashampoo Privacy Inspector will neatly categorize your system logs, allow you to tweak privacy settings, and even help you recover some lost or deleted files, making it a quite versatile solution overall.
