This looks shady. Clearing your trash has nothing to do with enhancing your privacy and while some things are useful, like Firefox settings they are mixed with other useless things. And I also wouldn’t recommend running random scripts from the internet.
Just because it has options to clear junk doesn’t mean it has nothing to do with privacy.
If you open the page, you can also see and even edit the corresponding script in the window, there is nothing hidden. It’s way more as only clearing trash, but naturally in Linux there isn’t a lot of settings needed, like in Windows or Mac. Made in the UK, FOSS
