PC GuardX App - How your data is handled and protected.
Effective date: 8 Jun 2026 · Version: 1.0.0.0 · Publisher: Hasnain Butt Akhtar
PC GuardX is a Windows desktop privacy control center. It lets you turn common Windows privacy settings on or off from one dashboard - camera, microphone, location, Bluetooth, telemetry, advertising, activity history, app permissions, ad-domain blocking, and encrypted DNS.
PC GuardX runs entirely on your device. It does not transmit your personal data, settings, or usage to Hasnain Studio X.
We do not sell, share, or monetize user data. There is no analytics or telemetry SDK in the app.
PC GuardX does not collect or send the following to the developer:
No name, email, phone number, or account identity is collected.
No analytics, ad tracking, or third-party telemetry SDKs. We do not log which toggles you use.
Your device names, installed apps, or registry contents are read locally and never uploaded.
No passwords, credentials, browsing history, files, or media are accessed or collected.
All actions are local, made only when you flip a toggle or apply a preset, and are reversible.
Toggles write standard Windows privacy settings and group-policy values in your local registry (camera, microphone, location, telemetry, advertising ID, activity history, Cortana, search, app permissions).
The camera, microphone and Bluetooth blocks disable/enable the corresponding hardware device on your PC so the block is effective immediately.
Ad-tracker blocking adds or removes ad-domain entries in your local Windows hosts file. No network request is made.
Your chosen theme and accent are stored locally in your user profile (LocalAppData). No cloud sync.
PC GuardX makes no outbound connection for its core features. The only network-related items are:
If you enable "Encrypted DNS (DoH)", PC GuardX sets your network adapters to use Cloudflare's resolver (1.1.1.1) over HTTPS. From then on your DNS lookups are sent to Cloudflare instead of your ISP, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. This is off by default and reversible.
License, trial and purchase checks are handled by the Microsoft Store on your device. See Section 5.
The app contains links (website, support email, Store page) that open in your browser or the Store only when you click them.
PC GuardX is a paid app with a Microsoft Store-managed free trial. Your trial and license (Trial / Pro) are validated by the Microsoft Store on your device. Payment and transaction processing are handled by Microsoft under Microsoft's policies.
PC GuardX does not see or store your payment card details.
PC GuardX runs as a full-trust desktop app so it can change Windows privacy settings on your behalf. System-wide changes (telemetry, device enable/disable, hosts file, DNS) prompt for Windows administrator approval (UAC); nothing changes without your action. Per-user settings apply without elevation. Every change can be reversed from the app's "Restore Windows privacy defaults" button.
PC GuardX is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under 13.
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date and version on this page.
