Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Privatus is a legitimate privacy utility whose main job is to remove browsing data from supported browsers. That behavior is normal for its purpose, but it can sign you out of websites, remove saved site data, clear recent history, and affect convenience features that depend on cookies or cached content. Use it if you want regular browser cleanup, and review its cleanup options so you only remove the types of data you actually want cleared.
Recommendation: Keep Privatus if you intentionally use it to clear browser traces and manage web privacy on your Mac. If you do not use browser-cleaning tools or you prefer to keep website sign-ins, history, and cached data, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself.
