1. Overview

PC TuneX App is a Windows desktop utility published by Hasnain Butt Akhtar. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it uses that information, and what data (if any) leaves your device.

PC TuneX does not collect or transmit any personal data to the developer or any third party.

We are committed to your privacy: PC TuneX does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personally identifiable information.

The App may write the following files to your device, solely to support its own operation:
