Cronus takes multi-layered security measures to protect sensitive user data:
1. Data encryption:All recorded time data and activity logs are encrypted with AES-256 when stored locally and transmitted via SSL/TLS when synchronized in the cloud. Even Cronus employees cannot directly view the raw data.
2. Authority control:Users can choose to store locally only (turn off cloud synchronization), or specify the scope of the synchronization. For example, only summary report data is synchronized and detailed window title records (which may contain sensitive information) are not transmitted.
3. Transparent management:The privacy policy explicitly states that no data is sold and that all data analysis takes place only on the user's device or on a certified server. The official website provides a data flow schematic to show which data processing occurs locally/in the cloud.
4. Compliance certification:Has passed GDPR and CCPA compliance audits and supports exporting or completely deleting data at any time. The Enterprise Edition also offers localized deployment options.
Attention:It is recommended to check the "App Permissions" settings (especially calendar access) regularly to avoid non-essential authorizations.
