Stats privacy

General considerations

The report you submit is never used separately from others' reports. All the reports collected are subjected to statistical processing, and averages and outliers of the statistics are used for the following purposes:
  • Identify software bugs
  • Identify weak spots in processing algorithms
  • Identify processing speed issues
  • Evaluate various recovery performance aspects and possibly create some neat graphs.

The report does not contain any personally identifiable information and does not contain any sensitive information (like usernames and passwords). There are two things in the report that might require additional explanation in privacy terms.

 

Random identification number

The random identification number is for us to distinguish between the same error occurring on the same machine (or the data set) hundred times in a row, or occurring once on each of hundred of different machines (data sets). There is no way to trace a random number back to the person who submitted the report (you) or to the particular computer the report was generated on.

 

File name in the report

Occasionally, a file name may slip into the report. This happens when an abnormal situation is detected within the validation routines. In such a case, the name of the file which caused the error is logged. Only one file name is logged per report, as the parameter named ValErrFile. Typically, a single file name logged does not present a significant concern privacy-wise. On top of that, an error that warrants logging a file name is a rare situation.

Our customers say

This is about as easy and as quick as it could possibly be! I tried two other recovery softwares, but one did not support my camera's format, and the other only brought back 10 pics of a possible 32. I am so very glad to have found this--32 shots from a wonderful vacation are now back with us!
