Wire Goose is a network monitor that shows which apps send your data to companies in your home region and which send it elsewhere, so you can see where it really goes and test the privacy promises apps make under laws like GDPR (in the EEA) and CCPA (in the US).
Every lookup happens on your computer. Wire Goose makes no network connections of its own.
