FULL STORY ======================================================================

CCleaner has updated its privacy tool Kamo with new features designed to prevent online tracking so that users wont be followed across the web by the sites they visit.

In order to mask users digital footprints, Kamo 4.0 has introduced Private Connection which combines VPN technology and anti-fingerprinting for the
first time ever.

By creating a secure and encrypted VPN tunnel between a users PC and the internet, Private Connection is able to hide their location while preventing web service providers, governments and hackers from intercepting and monitoring their online browsing activity. This is possible thanks to Kamos anti-fingerprinting technology which creates new randomized footprints to throw trackers off.

GM at CCleaner, David Peterson explained in a press release how Kamo can prevent digital fingerprinting whereas clearing cookies and blocking ads
cant, saying:

Its vital you take extra steps to protect your privacy online as clearing cookies or blocking ads doesnt stop you from being tracked via digital fingerprinting. In fact, companies can easily identify people to a high
degree of accuracy. Thats where Kamo 4.0 and its dual protection comes in to drastically reduce tracking attempts setting new standards for online privacy. Kamo 4.0

For those unaware, each device you use has its own unique fingerprint that
can be used to identify and track you. This is why Kamo regularly creates new randomized footprints in an attempt to throw trackers off.

At the same time, while thousands of companies collect user data, most fail
to protect it properly and your personal information can be leaked online through unsecured databases . Kamo ensures that companies cant create a
unique profile of users which can in turn prevent them from falling victim to identity theft . Read More

CCleaners privacy tool also removes evercookies and zombie cookies that are difficult to delete in seconds so that they dont remain on your devices. Kamo users can even get more information on the sites trying to track them as it shows which websites are scraping their personal, family, medical and financial data and stops them in their tracks.

Another nice thing about Kamo is that you can set it and forget it since the tool automatically syncs with all browsers so that youll be protected on all of your devices.

While a 1 year subscription to Kamo costs $24.95, CCleaner also offers a 14-day free trial so that users interested in protecting their online privacy further can test out its privacy tool for themselves. Protect your privacy online with one of the best VPN services
