Technical Advisories

To ensure the security of your condential data, Personal Edition encrypts the data on your Microsoft Windows computer. You (or

authorized users) can always access the data when logged into the computer, but unauthorized users will not have access to this protected

data. Data always remains encrypted on the drive, but because our encryption is designed to be transparent to you, there is no need to

change the way you work with applications and data.
