Easy PC Cleaner: what is sent
Easy PC Cleaner by Vivid Engineering. This page explains the anonymous usage counts the app can send, and the two counts the website keeps.
Anonymous usage counts (only if you say yes)
The first time you open Easy PC Cleaner it asks "Help improve Easy PC Cleaner?". Nothing is sent until you choose "Yes, send counts". If you choose "No thanks", or close the question without answering, nothing is sent.
With usage counts on, the app sends exactly these two kinds of message:
| Message | When | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
active |
The first time the app starts on each day | installId, appVersion (for example 1.1.0), windowsVersion (for example
10.0.26100), date (the day, for example 2026-10-01) |
clean |
When a clean finishes and the summary is shown | installId, appVersion, filesCleaned, filesSkipped,
bytesFreed, categories (which kinds of junk were cleaned, for example
browser.chrome.cache or user.temp — at most 20) |
Never sent: file names or folder paths, your user name or computer name, why a file was skipped, or anything else from your clean reports.
The install ID is 32 random characters made up by the app when you say yes. It is not based on your computer, your Windows account or anything else about you. It only lets us tell "one person cleaning ten times" from "ten people cleaning once".
Two counts the website keeps for everyone
- Downloads: when the installer is downloaded from our site we add one to a count for that day, version and country.
- Update checks: when the app checks for a new version (you can turn this off in Settings) we add one to a count for that day, version and country. No install ID is involved.
No IP addresses are stored
To know the country, the server looks at your internet address for that one request and then forgets it. Our counting code never writes your IP address to a database or a log. To stop floods, it keeps only a scrambled (salted hash) form of the address, which cannot be turned back into the address, for a few hours, at most about a day.
If our site is served through Cloudflare, Cloudflare tells us the country of your connection; we still do not store your IP address.

How long it is kept
Usage messages are deleted within 13 months (aggregated into monthly totals first). Every night, messages from a month that began more than 12 months ago are reduced to monthly totals (how many installs were active, how many cleans, how much space was freed, how often each category was cleaned) and the individual messages, with their install IDs, are deleted. Download and update-check counts contain no ID and are kept.
Turning it off, and deleting your data
- Open Settings and switch off "Send anonymous usage counts", then Save. The app deletes its install ID and anything still waiting to be sent. Nothing more is sent (a message that was already on its way at that moment may still arrive).
- To have what was already sent deleted, email us the ID shown in Settings → About ("Usage counts: On (ID …)" — the first 8 characters are enough) before you turn usage counts off: gangasprajapati@gmail.com
