iPhone Data Recovery Software and Malware

I recently downloaded and used two Mac programs to scan my phone for deleted files--Dr.Fone by Wondershare and D-Back by iMyfone. After using these programs, I thought about how dumb it was for me to do this, as it exposes all the data on my phone to both the programs. I'm worried about a few things I was hoping to get some thoughts on:

1. Do any of these programs send my data/content off to their servers? How would I be able to check?
2. Did they install any malware to my computer (macOS--Yosemite)? I used Avast to scan the .dmg files, and nothing was found. After I uninstalled the programs, I also scanned my computer and nothing was found.
3. Did they install any malware to my iPhone 6 (I wasn't updated to the latest version, but I believe I was on 10.2)?
