The following provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this Website or use our App. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. For detailed information on privacy, please refer to our privacy statement listed below this text.
Data processing for both the Website and the App is carried out by the operator. You can find the contact details of the operator in the section “Information on the responsible party” in this privacy policy.
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and purpose, free of charge, at any time. You may also request correction, deletion, or restriction of processing, revoke consent, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us for any data protection questions.

We host the content of our website with the following provider:
HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Švitrigailos str. 34, Vilnius 03230 Lithuania
Phone: +37064503378
Email: domains@hostinger.com
The external hosting is done for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been obtained, processing is solely based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Our host(s) will process your data only to the extent necessary to fulfill their service obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.
We have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) for the use of the service mentioned above. This is a legally required contract that ensures the host processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The CleanScreen App operates locally on your macOS device and does not rely on external hosting for its core functionality. No data is transmitted to our servers or third-party providers unless you initiate a support request, in which case limited data (e.g., your email and message) may be processed via our hosting provider (details above) under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract fulfillment).
The operators of this site and App take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless specified otherwise, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. For the App, no data is stored unless provided via support requests, and deletion occurs upon request or when no longer needed.
If you have given consent for data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING PROTECTIVE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement.
You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in the performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
You have the right, at any time and free of charge, to request information about the personal data we have stored about you, its origin, recipients, the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
The use of contact data published under the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.
Our website uses so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporary for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanent (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for conducting electronic communication, providing certain desired features (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services.
If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing will only occur based on that consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
The cookies and services used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically to us. These include:
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after completing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
The CleanScreen App is designed to hide desktop icons and widgets with a simple overlay, activated by a single click. It does not record your screen or collect any personal data automatically. Specifically:
No data is stored locally by the App itself. Any support-related data is retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry and deleted thereafter, unless legal retention periods apply.

We use „Google reCAPTCHA“ (hereinafter referred to as „reCAPTCHA“) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or an automated program.

To analyze, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of the website visitor’s stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
