Source code
Our source code is stored securely on our network. Only company employees have access to our source code. We do not use outsourced software development.
Product data storage
Our software stores it’s data locally on your harddisk. No-one (including us) can access this data, unless they have access to files on your harddisk.
Digital signature
Our software is digitally signed by us (Oryx Digital Ltd) to show that we created it. If the digital signature is present, then you can be sure it hasn’t been tampered with. If you can’t see a digital signature, then please contact us before installing.
Windows digital signature
The Windows installer and executable are signed using a digital certificate issued by Sectigo. You can check the signature by right-clicking on the installer file, selecting Properties and looking at the Digital Signatures tab. It should say Oryx Digital Ltd (the timestamp will vary).
Mac digital signature
The Mac .app is signed using a digital certificate issue by Apple. You can check the signature by running in the terminal (changing the .app file name as appropriate):
codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/EasyDataTransform.app
You should see somewhere in the output:
Authority=Developer ID Application: Oryx Digital Ltd (C69HU3VR25)
Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority
Authority=Apple Root CA
Malware checks
All our software is checked by with multiple anti-virus/malware scanners using the virustotal.com service before release.
The Mac .app is also notarized by Apple. You can check the notarization by running in the terminal (changing the .app file name as appropriate):
spctl -a -v /Applications/EasyDataTransform.app
You should see in the output:
Applications/EasyDataTransform.app: accepted
source=Notarized Developer ID
Communication
Our software checks with an XML page on our server once a week to see if a new version of the software is available. It does not automatically update. It does not upload your data files.
Log4j
Our software does not use Java or the Log4j library and therefore has no exposure to Log4j exploits.
