Privacy Protection

Open the Privacy window

If you are not sure whether your accounts on certain websites are safe, you can check them using Kaspersky Security Cloud. The application can detect if your accounts have been compromised and your data is in danger of being publicly accessible.

Note: Kaspersky Security Cloud can only check accounts which use an email address as the user name.

Check if your account has been compromised

Kaspersky Security Cloud protects your privacy while your Mac is running. You can block your webcam to prevent applications from using it. When you enable this feature, Kaspersky Security Cloud blocks access to system libraries that are used by the webcam. You can find examples of applications that can't access your webcam when it is blocked by Kaspersky Security Cloud on the Technical Support website (Knowledge Base).

Block the webcam

Stop blocking the webcam

Note: If the application that you want to block is running when you block the webcam, you need to restart this application.

For enhanced protection of your privacy, Kaspersky Security Cloud includes Private Browsing, a feature that blocks websites from tracking you. You can also select categories of websites on which you want to block tracking.

Block website tracking

Stop blocking website tracking

Select categories of websites on which you want to block tracking

When website tracking is blocked, Kaspersky Security Cloud blocks tracking activities on websites that belong to the selected categories and monitors tracking activities on websites that belong to the unselected categories. When website tracking is allowed, Kaspersky Security Cloud only monitors websites that belong both to selected and unselected categories.

You can add websites to a list of exclusions. When website tracking is blocked, Kaspersky Security Cloud doesn't block tracking activities on websites that are in the list of exclusions.

Add/remove a website to/from the list of exclusions

By default, Kaspersky Security Cloud doesn't block tracking activities on the websites of Kaspersky and its partners. You can manually enable blocking of tracking activities on the websites of Kaspersky and its partners.
