Information collected automatically
Hosting, security, analytics and advertising providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, referring page, requested URL and event timing. We use this information to operate the site, detect abuse and understand aggregate usage.
Analytics and cookies
The site may use Microsoft Clarity and similar measurement technologies. These services may set cookies or use comparable identifiers according to their own policies. Browser settings and applicable consent controls can limit cookies.
Google advertising and partner technologies
The site may use Google AdSense and related Google publisher products. When these products serve or measure ads, Google and its partners may collect, receive, use or share information such as IP address, browser and device identifiers, cookies, web beacons, approximate location, requested page, ad interaction and diagnostic events. This information can be used to deliver, limit, measure and protect advertising, subject to the applicable Google product settings, consent requirements and policies.
Third parties, including Google and advertising partners, may place and read cookies on your browser, use web beacons or similar technologies, and process IP addresses or other identifiers because ads are served on this site. For Google's explanation of information used on partner sites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can also use browser controls and any applicable consent or ad-personalization controls to manage these technologies.
If you email [email protected], we receive the address, message and any information you choose to include. Do not send passwords, product keys, memory snapshots containing sensitive paths, or other confidential system data. We use email to respond and maintain necessary records.
External Microsoft downloads
Download links lead to Microsoft's Sysinternals domain. Microsoft receives the normal request information when your browser connects to that service. This site does not receive or store the downloaded ZIP and does not control Microsoft's privacy practices.
Data retention and security
We retain operational records only as reasonably needed for security, legal compliance and site maintenance. No online system can guarantee absolute security. Avoid submitting sensitive information that is not required for support.
