What a privacy score means
A privacy score turns a fuzzy feeling (“am I protected?”) into a number you can improve — as long as you know what it is measuring and what it is not.
A score is a snapshot of protection
PrivyDeck’s score looks at practical signals: whether privacy DNS and browser blocking are active, whether your vault and account habits are in good shape, and whether protection modes are on. Higher usually means more of the basics are covered.
It is not a credit score and not a guarantee that no company holds data about you. It answers: “Did I turn on the protections that stop everyday tracking and reduce exposure?”
Use the checklist, not just the number
The useful part is the breakdown. If DNS is unset or the extension is disconnected, the score drops for a reason — and the checklist tells you the next fix.
Aim for steady weekly gains. Blocking lists, passkeys, and retention settings each nudge the number; chasing 100 overnight is less important than closing the biggest gaps first.
What a good score still won’t cover
Accounts you created years ago, public social posts, and data sold by brokers sit outside any dashboard. Pair a strong score with rights tools and careful sharing habits.
Family and shared devices need their own setup. One person’s high score does not protect a household tablet that still loads every tracker.
