What your admin can — and can't — see

If your PC has PC AutoPilot installed under a Team license (typically because your employer or organization purchased it for multiple PCs), there is one person — usually called the "admin" or "owner" — who has limited management visibility into your PC through a feature called the Team Console. This page tells you exactly what they can and can't see, so you have full transparency.

Our principle: the admin controls maintenance, not your work. They can configure when cleanups run, see whether the app is healthy on your PC, and push updates — but they cannot see what you do on the computer or read any of your files.

The full breakdown

What your admin can do remotely

The admin has the following remote actions available through the Team Console. All of them affect only PC AutoPilot itself — none of them touch your personal files or other apps:

• Push a cleanup schedule (e.g., "run cleanup at 3am daily").
• Trigger a one-time cleanup on your PC — uses the same safe rules your local PC AutoPilot uses; cannot delete arbitrary files.
• Force a PC AutoPilot update — using "when idle" mode by default, so your work isn't interrupted. You can snooze the update for up to 24 hours.
• Lock the app to Simple mode — hides Power-mode features that could let you accidentally end critical processes.
• Revoke your seat — removes your PC's license. The app stops working but your files are untouched.

Symmetrical access — you see the same data

Everything the admin sees about your PC is also visible to you, in the PC AutoPilot Settings page. There's no "secret view" the admin has that you don't. We believe transparency is non-negotiable.

How to verify all of this

You don't have to take our word for it. PC AutoPilot is an installable Windows app — you can inspect what it sends:

• Use Windows Resource Monitor or a network monitoring tool to see exactly what data PC AutoPilot transmits.
• Read our Security & Antivirus page for the full data inventory.
• Check our Privacy Policy for the legal commitment.

If you're uncomfortable with this

If you'd rather not have any management visibility — even at the maintenance level described above — you have options:

• Talk to your admin. They may not realize the privacy concerns and may be willing to remove your seat.
• Uninstall PC AutoPilot. Going through Add/Remove Programs is straightforward; the uninstaller offers an optional anonymous feedback survey but you can skip it.
• Contact us. If you have privacy concerns the admin won't address, email [email protected] — we'll respond within 48 hours.
