Polarprivacy Shield is a Privacy Protection application meant to provide the user with maximum privacy protection online. The security software is designed to secure and monitor exposed sensitive data using cutting-edge technologies to ensure a smoother and safer online experience.
Now more than ever, we maintain so much of our daily lives online whether it’s for social or professional purposes. Users’ login credentials and financial information are constantly exposed and saved to not only advertising and shopping platforms, but also to cyber hackers. Polarprivacy Shield aims to warn and protect its users against potential threats and cyber attacks.
Polarprivacy Shield provides a deep scan and analysis service, as well as cleaning and securing data. Polarprivacy Shield warns against critical concerns and issues that the user should look at. For example, personally identifiable data within PDF or other text files that are stored on the hard drive. 3rd party trackers leave cookies within the users’ browser to collect and provide them with both identifiable and non identifiable user data. Polarprivacy Shield blocks these tracking attempts, thus, keeping your private data out of malicious hands.
Tracking blocker is an optional feature offered by Polarprivacy Shield through a simple Internet Browser extension. Polarprivacy Shield is currently available for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge. The extension keeps track of the websites, and third-party trackers, attempting to track the user’s behavior through Internet activity. The extension actively blocks tracking attempts, stopping the trackers from collecting data. While doing so Polarprivacy Shield creates a detailed report accessible when clicking on the icon within Browser. The report shows which websites have attempted to track the user.
Polarprivacy Shield also scrambles the user’s digital fingerprints that are left behind each time the user opens a new website or starts a new digital session. The scrambling creates a false fingerprint that is therefore un-identifiable and cannot be hooked to the user’s activity in any way.
Polarprivacy Shield extension is available only to Premium license users.
Although it is not entirely free, you can test out Polarprivacy’s free-trial for a seven day period, you can browse through the features and experience the software.
