Security and privacy policy

About security

 thilmera digitally signs all executable files (* .exe) and built-in drivers (* .sys) (excluding older drivers) under the name "Gakuto Matsumura". The CA (Certificate Authority) issuing the signature is GlobalSign until 2021/04, and Certum after that.
 Never do this if the signature has a different name, is invalid, or is not issued by Certum.
 In Windows XP, the reason why the sub-signature algorithm is unknown is that SHA256 is not supported by XP, which is the OS, so this is not a problem.
 The software's automatic update will stop at any point of download, update, or launch if this digital signature is incorrect.

 Digital signatures are a testament to the "unaltered original software" that clarifies the identity of a program in today's world of many programs of unknown origin, and was introduced in thilmera in March 2011.
 The thilmera digital signature is for personal use. Therefore, if I, the author, collect malicious information in this software or send information to other programs or services, my digital signature and personal developer Reputation will be irreversible.
 We provide it free of charge without advertisements or bundles because the reason for development is a hobby and the purpose of study (providing a high quality program).
 So, I definitely don't want to do things like the usual free but bundles installed or spyware in the middle.
 thilmera does not belong to any organization and all decisions are made by me personally, so any interests do not infringe on my privacy policy.

 When you download a new one, be sure to check that the digital signature is correct.
 The automatic update is designed to stop even if various files are inconsistent or corrupted, or the signature is incorrect.

Others - Remarks


・0b167 Rev.7 or later includes the language ID in the user agent name during Web communication.
 Example: The number 0x0411 in Japanese.
 This does not represent the country of the communication source, but is the ID (4-digit number) of the default language of the UI set by the user in the OS.
 Since there was an opinion that we would like to support languages ​​other than Japanese and English, it was introduced to determine which language is in demand.


 In data sharing between PCs, the computer name sent as a display can be selected to be on or off, and any custom name can be specified after 0b174.
 Of the above, SNTP time adjustment and status mail transmission cannot be performed for provider contracts that cannot connect to the network without using a proxy because they cannot be sent through a proxy.
