Where can I find it?
The Password Manager is accessible from 2 locations: The Main Menu and the Toolbar.
To access the Main Menu, click on the OI logo next to your browser’s navigation bar (top right). It is the same logo as the orange one shown below.
If you can't find the Toolbar, go in the Main Menu and check in your Settings, under Privowny App Components. You might have chosen to hide it…
The Dashboard is symbolized by OI.

The first time you open your Dashboard, you won't see any relevant information. This is normal. The Dashboard works in the background aggregating information and will start showing interesting information as soon as you start browsing and using our tool. |

Understanding the Dashboard statistics
The Dashboard gathers information about your digital footprint. It shows you a recap of your online behavior and how it impacts your privacy, and the personal data you leave behind.
The amount of data you shared
From the first day you use Privowny App, and only if you wish us to do so, we will keep track of the data you share online and aggregate the numbers. You can choose to only see the last 6 months or to see all the data you shared since your registration date – click on the "3 dots" on the top right.
If you choose NOT to let us collect the data you leave behind at the same time websites do, then this graph will be empty. You can do this easily from the Main Menu or from Toolbar for the site you are currently on for a more selective approach.
The type of data you shared
It can be interesting to see the kind of data you left behind. We decided to cherry-pick the most sensitive ones (email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, credit card numbers) and let you know with one look how many of them are out there. These are the sensitive data you entrusted companies with (you chose to share these at some point). To see the details of these companies:
- Position your mouse on top of the segment of the pie chart you are interested in
- Click on it
The Data Manager opens up and shows you the list of companies you left data with.
Your grasp of trackers
How well are you asserting your control over trackers? The Tracker Manager brings you control and flexibility. This chart shows you at a glance how often you are using your new power:
- Percentage of sites where you blocked all the trackers
- Percentage of sites where you blocked some trackers
- percentage of sites where you allowed all the trackers
Your Digital Footprint
One of the ways the internet profiles you is by aggregating information about your browsing activities: sites you visit, searches you perform, etc. The Dashboard does the same thing but for your benefit. You can now have an insider's look at the way you are perceived online. It might take a couple of days before you start seeing keywords gathering. Keep on browsing and come back later! To trigger the cloud word from The Dashboard:
- Click on the "Allow” button in "My Digital Footprint"
Your consent is absolutely needed to trigger the classification of your online activity. The graph won't be completed until you activate this feature.
