When running HitmanPro, from time to time it uploads a file to the cloud for further scanning from what I understand. My question is, what happens to those files? Like if these are doc files containing personal or sensitive information, what happens to these files concerning privacy?
Also, wiki mentions that HitmanPro is owned by Sophos but uses Bitdefender and Kaspersky Lab as in-cloud technology partners. Can those 3 companies be trusted with your data and what do they do with it as they upload files to their cloud? Do those these 3 companies have strict privacy rules or could your data end up in the wrong hands and be used fraudulent. Bitdefender is Romanian which always made me suspicious of that company. Also, the fact that all these companies make free software makes me wonder even more what they do with your data.
