What data does PCMaid store?
- Your email address and a scrypt hash of your password.
- One session cookie (HttpOnly, SameSite Strict) while you are logged in, valid for 30 days at most.
- Per scan: up to 200 category names with item counts and byte totals. Never file names or file contents.
- Per connected PC: the name you chose, the last connection time and a SHA-256 hash of its access token.
- Cleanup history: date, source and bytes freed. Scan records older than 90 days are deleted automatically.
What does PCMaid never store?
File names, file paths, file contents and your backups. Browser scans run inside your browser. The Windows agent reports category totals only, and backups are written to a folder on your own drive.
Who processes my data?
Data is stored in a DuckDB file on our own server in the EU. There are no analytics, advertising trackers or third-party processors. Data is never sold or shared.
How do I delete my data or complain?
Ask for access, correction or deletion through the contact page and we respond within 30 days. You can also complain to your national data protection authority, in Sweden the IMY (imy.se).
