Find the personal data hiding in your old files.
Old documents, spreadsheets and downloads can hold card numbers, bank details and ID numbers you forgot were there. DataTrace Pro X scans your folders, shows which files contain what, and scores each folder by risk — so you can deal with it before it leaks.
