Product Improvement Program: Data Transferred

The Product Improvement Program (PIP) enables Thales to determine which functionality in Sentinel LDK Envelope is used the most by vendors and how it is used. This program benefits vendors because Thales is better able to determine what is most important to vendors and where to allocate their product improvement resources.

Your participation in this program is determined by the PIP command line parameter or configuration file tag in Sentinel LDK Envelope.

This topic describes the information that is collected by the Product Improvement Program.

Currently, data is sent from the Sentinel LDK Envelope Linux command line tool as follows:

> Every time Envelope processes a binary file, a data set is sent to the Program server.

> If participation in the Product Improvement Program is disabled, no data is sent.

The contents of the submitted data are described below.

Information regarding Envelope, including:

>Envelope version number

>Host architecture where Envelope was executed
