Or maybe something like it is available on Windows instead?

Apparently, it's some kind of app written by Consumer Reports which appears
to be aimed at helping people (California residents?) discover what PII
(personally-identifiable-information) companies have collected on them, with
a view to minimizing the long-term collection of such data.

Sounds like a great idea -- wish more jurisdictions would follow suit.
