How does Social Privacy Manager work?
Social Privacy Manager is a web extension that lets you manage your privacy settings across social media all from one place.
We do this by scanning your privacy settings on the different social media platforms you've connected and recommending changes that can help improve your privacy. You can choose which recommendations to apply and update your settings on each platform right from the extension.
Does McAfee scan all my settings on each social media platform?
We only scan key privacy settings on each platform you select. We organize these settings into four main categories: content visibility, ad preferences, social interactions, and platform experience.
You can review these settings by category on the Summary page.
What are my privacy recommendations based on?
Your privacy recommendations are based on the user type you select. This ensures our recommendations are tailored around how you use social media. For example, if someone prefers to post publicly on social media, we won't recommend an update that would make their posts private.
You can change your user type at any time from your Social Privacy Manager settings. When you do, we'll scan your settings on each platform again and update your recommendations based on your new user type.
Can McAfee see my private social media posts and messages?
We don't see any of your private social media posts, messages, or any other private data connected to your accounts, browser history, or device. We also will never post on your behalf or make changes to your profile.
Social Privacy Manager only looks at your privacy settings and can only update your settings when you approve.
