Do you use Facebook?  Or Twitter? Ever run a search on Google?  Do you have an Alexa device in your home?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you might want to jump on a new (launched two weeks ago) iPhone app called Jumbo.  

It is iPhone only at the moment but the developers say that an Android app is in the works.

Jumbo works entirely on your phone by logging into the above mentioned services and then adjusting the privacy levels in an easy to understand, visual interface.

It will clean up old, and potentially embarrassing, posts, searches and other sensitive info from your accounts.  It’s currently free on the app store, but there is some concern that since it will also set up tight privacy parameters that could block Facebook, Twitter, and Google from selling your usage data to advertisers, that it might get blocked by them.

Here is some info on Jumbo from their website: 

Smart Privacy Settings For Facebook.

We have designed this revolutionary feature that can protect your privacy by changing your Facebook privacy settings, in one-tap.

Jumbo Cleaning Mode saves hours of manual work to backup then remove old Facebook photos (coming soon), tweets, Google Searches, Alexa queries…

Smart Privacy Settings For Facebook.

We have designed this revolutionary feature that can protect your privacy by changing your Facebook privacy settings, in one-tap.

Private and Secure. By Design.

Jumbo works uniquely from your iPhone, without any server-side processing. No login required. 

All the intelligence is powered by your Apple device. Jumbo can not access any of your personal data, or track your personal behavior. 

You can get the app at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jumbo-privacy/id1454039975?ls=1&mt=8

So, here is my recommendation.  Go get the app and install it.  Run the app and set your your Privacy settings before the app gets blocked.  (It may not get blocked by any of the services listed, but then again…)

The ability to easily clear up Alexa and Google history is well worth the effort in my opinion.
