Hello! I wanted to check out some of my deleted files from various memory cards and I downloaded about 8-9 demo versions of memory recovery software (ZAR, SD Card Recovery, iskysoft recovery, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery, Disk Drill, PanteraSoft, Card Data Recovery, and testdisk). I used both Mac and Windows some of the software pulled up some really medically embarrassing [graphic] photos from a couple of years back. Even my identity is revealed since my name-tag was attached to the bed and my wrist.
Is it possible that the publishers/developers/software administrators of recovery software will have access to my files?
I know that these systems autosave progress and maintain a log of everything BUT how secure are the actual files since none of the software above came up for malware?
Also, I mainly use the Mac and my Malware/Virus protection is recently updated on Windows.
Is there a chance that all of the files have been sent over to a third-party (outside my administrative access of my personal computer) for safe-keeping/viewing or whatever? Or does the coding prevent the files from leaving my computer unless published or phished out?
Thank you to anyone in advance should you choose to respond back. I'm very nervous and regretting this dig from the past since those photos showed up.
