Reference > Data security

As Easy Data Transform can potentially read or write any file on your computer, to which you have read/write permission, you need to be careful not to run .transform files of unknown provenance until you have checked them. Otherwise they could accidentally or maliciously read or write files that you don't wish to be accessed. To this end we recommend:

•Not setting Opening a .transform with auto run to Leave auto run enabled in Preferences>General, so that you can check any .transform files you aren't sure about, before running them.

•Setting Block input from files with extensions in Preferences>Input Extensions to any file extensions of any file types that Easy Data Transform shouldn't be reading from.

•Setting Block output to files with extensions in Preferences>Output Extensions to any file extensions of any file types that Easy Data Transform shouldn't be writing to.
