Privacy

Applies to all Sentiora applications

Sentiora runs no service that your data passes through. There is no Sentiora account, no advertising identifier, and no server of ours between you and your files. The applications send nothing about how you use them — one line a day says a licence ran, and that line is set out in full below. This website counts how many people visit it, and says below exactly what that means.

That is not the same as saying the applications never use the internet. Some of them can, for things you switch on yourself. This page lists every one of those, so you can decide about each.

What is stored, and where

Everything an application remembers is written to your own computer, in its own folder under AppData\Local — settings, licence, health history, reports and logs. Disk Manager uses SentioraDiskManager, and each product has its own so they cannot overwrite one another.

None of it is uploaded. If you delete the folder, it is gone; we hold no copy, because there is nowhere for a copy to be held.

What can connect outward

Each of these is off, optional, or something you configure yourself. Nothing here is enabled silently.

The AI advisor

Every product that offers AI does it through a provider you pick and a key you supply — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, or a model running on your own machine through LM Studio or Ollama. The request goes from your computer straight to that provider. It does not pass through us, and we never see your key or the answer.

The key is stored encrypted on your PC. What is sent is the material the feature needs: in Disk Manager, the readings it has taken from your hardware; in Sentiora Files, the text of the document you loaded. Whatever the provider then does with it is governed by their terms, not ours, which is why you get to choose which one it is.

Leave the provider set to Offline and Disk Manager sends nothing at all — its own checks still produce the health verdict. Sentiora Files' assistant falls back to local heuristics with no key and no network.

Email alerts

Disk Manager can email you when a drive starts failing. It sends through your own mail server, using SMTP settings you enter. The message goes from your computer to your provider; we are not a party to it.

The version check

Disk Manager can look at sentiora.dev/versiune.json once a day to see whether a newer release exists. It is a plain file request: it sends no identifier, no licence number and nothing about your machine. A web server sees that a file was requested, as it would for any download. This can be turned off.

Driver lookups

Driver Finder queries Microsoft's own sources — Windows Update and the Microsoft Update Catalog — using the hardware ID of the device you are asking about. Nothing is sent to Sentiora, and nothing is fetched from third-party driver sites.

The licence stop list

Applications read a small signed file from sentiora.dev once a day, listing licences that have been withdrawn. It is a plain file request that carries no licence number and no identifier: the file says which licences are void, and your computer decides locally whether yours is among them. If it cannot be reached, nothing happens.

Activation, for multi-seat licences only

Sentiora ComicBubble's Studio and Enterprise editions allow a set number of computers, and enforcing that requires counting them. Those editions send the licence key, the buyer's email and an identifier for the machine to an activation service, and can release a seat again when you move to another computer. The Personal edition does none of this — its licence is verified offline.

Sentiora Vault

Vault keeps your library on your computer and sends nothing from it. What does reach the internet:

• The licence stop list, once a day, as described above — nothing is sent with it.
• With a licence, once a day, the line described under The daily line: a fingerprint of the licence, a fingerprint of the computer and the version. When you press Remove licence, one more such line goes out, saying the place is free.
• The pictures of your sites on the new tab: the home page of each site is opened once, out of sight and without your sign-ins. It can be turned off in Settings → Capture.
• WhatsApp, only after you link it: the official WhatsApp Web stays open in the background and brings in the links and files sent to you.
• An AI provider, only if you set one up with a key of your own: each request is charged by that provider, and it is off until you turn it on.
• A new version, once a day: Vault reads sentiora.dev/download-vault.json to see which version is out; nothing is sent with it, and it can be turned off in Settings → Help & about. The installer is downloaded only when you press Download and install, and is checked against the size and SHA-256 in that file before it starts.
• AI agents (Claude, GPT and others), only if you turn them on: what they read in your library or in a page goes to the AI program you connected on your computer, and from it to the company that makes it. Vault itself sends nothing to Anthropic or OpenAI.

Sentiora Batteries

Battery readings, settings and history stay on your computer. The licence is checked locally. With a valid key, a daily request to licente.sentiora.dev/api/vazut contains the product, licence fingerprint, computer fingerprint and version; Remove licence also sends a release flag. No raw licence, email or battery history is sent by this licence check. The signed stop list is read from sentiora.dev/opriri-batteries.txt. An unavailable server does not invalidate a valid offline licence.

Compatibility support reports are separate and optional. You can review a report before sending it to rapoarte.sentiora.dev; choosing not to send one does not affect your licence.

Sending files with a code

When you use Vault’s Send files, the files go straight from your computer to theirs, encrypted, and are kept nowhere on the way — they do not pass through Sentiora. The person receiving can use Vault or open the link in any browser; the code sits after the # in the link, which a browser never sends to the site.

To find each other, the two computers meet for a few seconds at licente.sentiora.dev. Like any server, it sees the internet addresses of the two while the connection is made, and a room number made from the code — never the code, never the names or the contents of the files. It keeps nothing. To find a direct road, the browser also asks public servers of Cloudflare and Google, which see its public internet address.

Licences

Sentiora licences are signed in advance and verified on your computer with a public key built into the application. Buying does not create an account, and the key holds a licence number and an edition — no name, no address. Sentiora Files keys made before September 2026 are the exception: they carry a scrambled form of the address they were bought with, never the address itself.

What we never do

• No Sentiora account, ever, for any product.
• No analytics, and no crash reporting sent without you. If you send a fault report, it is because you pressed a button and could read the whole of it first. The one thing an application does send by itself is the daily line described under The daily line — four fields, none of them about you or your files.
• No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
• No selling, sharing or brokering of anything. There is no data to sell, because none is collected.
• No silent connections. Everything above is either off by default or something you set up.

The daily line

Once a day, an application with a licence sends one line to a Sentiora server. It is the only thing any of them sends by itself, and it carries exactly four fields (the comic programs, which tie a licence to the address it was bought with, add a fifth, described below):

• Which product it is — a short name like docpilot.
• A fingerprint of the licence key, never the key. SHA-256, one way, no road back.
• A fingerprint of the computer, the same way. Stable across restarts, and it says nothing about who you are.
• The version number.

The comic programs — Comic Pipeline, ComicBubble and Panel Forge — also send a fingerprint of the address you typed beside the key when you activated, never the address itself. It lets us tell one buyer from a key shared with others; with a different fingerprint, that computer is the one asked to stop.

That is the whole of it. No email address, no name, no file names, nothing about what you opened or wrote. What it answers is one question we cannot answer otherwise: how many computers a single licence is running on.

The application never asks permission to run. It reports and, on almost every day of its life, does not even read the reply. The one thing it looks for is a note saying this computer has been stopped — and if it finds one it writes that down locally and steps back to the unlicensed mode, which it would keep doing with no internet at all.

If the server is down, unreachable, or gone for good, nothing happens. No message, no delay, no locked-out afternoon. A licence you paid for cannot be taken away by something of ours falling over.

Nothing is sent while a product is on trial or in a free edition: with no licence there is nothing to count.

This website

Separate from the applications, and much smaller: sentiora.dev counts how many people look at it. It is written here because a page that says “no analytics” while counting you is worth less than no page at all.

What leaves your browser is the address of the page you opened, and nothing else. No identifier is created for you, nothing is stored in your browser, and no cookie is set — which is why this site has never shown you a cookie banner and never will.

On our side, your network address and browser description are turned into a hash with the day mixed in, and only that hash is kept. It is enough to say “eleven people today” and it can never say “this is the same person who came last week”, because the same visitor tomorrow produces an unrelated value. Your address itself is never written down. Rows older than about a year are deleted.

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is sent at all. Any content blocker stops it too, and nothing on the site breaks when it is blocked.

Children

These are tools for maintaining computers, writing documents and drawing comics. They are not directed at children, and they collect nothing from anyone.

Changes

If an application ever gains a feature that sends something new, this page changes before that release ships, not after.
