All scripts of Project-Octopus.net are made with love and expertise.
We took the utmost care at every step and tried to think of everything. Our scripts have been thoroughly tested and are in daily use.
Nevertheless, we cannot, of course, offer any guarantee that the scripts will work properly. If a script doesn’t work for you the way we described it or the way you expect it to, we’re sorry.
Please use all scripts from Project-Octopus at your own risk and in case of doubt on duplicates of your files.
We assume no liability for any damage caused to software, computers, or files.
Processing your data
We analyze data from your computer anonymously.
Take a look at the directory …\cs_octopus\logs. There you will find a file called run_log.txt. The data that are in this file, we transmit anonymously to our server.
What data is processed?
There are 4 data sets involved. First, the date and time when a script was started, followed by the name of the script. This is followed by two loooong and cryptic blocks of numbers and letters. The first is a timestamp representing the number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970. This is “a JavaScript thing”! And the second is a unique user-specific identification number assigned randomly by Adobe.
None of these data points can be used to identify the user—that is, you! The data are and remain anonymous!
Why is data processed?
We want to know if and to what extent which script is used. If we find that scripts are not being used, we don’t have to worry about maintaining them, for example, when we update InDesign. This data helps us to keep track and get feedback.
