Who is Protectstar? Company, mission, products, and privacy at a glance

Protectstar is an international cybersecurity company that has been developing security solutions for private users, businesses, and professional environments since 2004.

According to the company, Protectstar is now trusted by more than 8 million users in over 100 countries. Behind Protectstar stands an international team of more than 15 specialists from seven countries working on security solutions that are intended to be easy to use, privacy-conscious, and technically effective.

The portfolio includes, among other things:

  • Anti Spy for spyware and stalkerware protection
  • Antivirus AI for malware and threat detection
  • Firewall AI for network and traffic protection
  • Camera Guard and Micro Guard for camera and microphone protection
  • iShredder for secure and traceable deletion of sensitive data

Protectstar follows a clear idea: security should be strong, understandable, and accessible to as many people as possible. Internally, the company describes this mindset with “Shaping Security” and the vision of making first-class security affordable for everyone over the long term.

Its privacy approach is just as important: Protectstar relies on Privacy by Design, no trackers, no advertising IDs, and — where security functions require technical signals — on the least data processing possible instead of unnecessary data collection. That means Protectstar is not just a product provider, but a company with a clear focus on protection, transparency, and digital self-determination.

In short: Protectstar is a security company that has been active since 2004 and supports millions of users worldwide with privacy-conscious, modern protection solutions.
