Browse through the main categories to discover how you can optimize your privacy-related efforts

privacy.sexy is an open-source application that can run on both Windows OS and macOS. The tool is free of cost and semi-portable. Without needing to go through an installation process, you can easily open it, access the desired category, check your options, and execute the scripts.
But how does it work? Well, if you are an absolute beginner in app-management and privacy-related matters, this program might be a bit challenging for you. Why? Although the interface and the name of each action are well-documented and described, it can get difficult to understand the correlations between certain processes. As a consequence, there are chances of messing with your default PC configuration and ending up with malfunctioning processes or unexpected app behavior.
However, if you take the time to understand how your system works and what each option from privacy.sexy's menu does, in the long run, it surely pays off, as you will get an in-depth understanding of the processes your PC and browser(s) run in the background.

Run the task-related generated scripts, and revert changes if needed

There are nine different options in this program's interface — 'Privacy Cleanup,' 'Disable OS Data Collection,' 'Configure Programs,' 'Security Improvements,' 'Privacy Over Security,' 'UI For Privacy,' 'Disable OS Services,' 'Remove Bloatware,' and 'Advanced Settings.'
Each option has multiple subcategories and displays its available options. Whether you want to delete the cache for a specific browser, uninstall some Windows Store Apps, Disable Windows OS default data collection, etc., the tool can do it. After clicking a certain action, at the bottom side of your program, a new script is generated in a small, embedded editor. The code that is generated there is the portion of code that once executed will apply the desired changes. As an alternative, after implementing a modification, you can undo that.
However, it is important to remember that some actions can't be undone (e.g. the permanent deletion of files/cache), and that is why it is important to double-check before executing any script.

Final thoughts

To conclude, privacy.sexy is an amazing application that helps users uncover some security breaches they didn't know about. The tool can also be a first step for those who try to educate themselves in regards to their privacy and security.
