Data Processing Policy for the pkutils.ru Programs
Version 1.1 of 11 October 2026
This is an English translation provided for reference only. The legally binding text is the Russian original: https://pkutils.ru/privacy. If the two texts differ, the Russian text prevails.
The policy describes what information the programs Cut Planner, Specifica and RenoForge (hereinafter the «Programs») send and what happens to it. The operator is sole proprietor Pavel Gennadyevich Kirichenko (OGRNIP 324366800056921, INN 366235548321), hereinafter «we».
In short: the Programs work with your files only on your computer. We do not receive your projects. The Programs send no information that could identify you; the only thing we keep about a person is the e-mail of a RenoForge buyer, for the letter with the key.
1. What stays on your computer
Projects, drawings, estimates, bills of materials, cutting plans, settings, logs and backups are stored only on your computer, in the program folder and in the user settings folder. The Programs do not send them to us or to third parties.
We see the programs' logs (the logs folder in the settings folder) only if you
attach them to a message to support yourself.
2. Checking for updates — all Programs
A Program installed from an archive from the site downloads the list of releases from pkutils.ru at start-up and on the Help → Check for updates command, and, with your consent, the archive of the new version.
Only what accompanies any request to a website is sent: the IP address, the name and version of the program. The Program sends no computer or user identifiers in the process.
The list of releases is signed with our key; the Program does not install an update whose signature or checksum does not match.
3. Licence — RenoForge only
On activation and on licence confirmation (at least once every 30 days) RenoForge sends to the pkutils.ru site:
- the licence key;
- the program name and version;
- the computer fingerprint — a set of irreversible SHA-256 hashes of the operating system installation identifier, the processor model, the motherboard model and the serial number of the system partition. Each hash is computed together with the program name, so the fingerprints of one computer differ between programs.
The fingerprint cannot be used to establish who you are, and the installation identifier and the partition serial number cannot be recovered from the hash. The processor and motherboard models can be guessed — these are mass-market details that do not point to a particular person. We keep the key, the fingerprint and the date of the last confirmation for as long as the licence is valid, to prevent one key from being used on several computers and to move the licence at your request.
With activation by file, you carry the request file to the site yourself; it contains the same three items.
4. What the Programs do not do
- they do not send projects, files or their contents;
- they do not collect your name, e-mail address, phone number or payment details;
- they contain no advertising or visit counters and do not report which features you use;
- they do not pass data to third parties.
5. Buying a licence
RenoForge is paid for on the YooKassa page (YooMoney, LLC NCO). Bank card details and other payment information are received only by YooKassa and processed under its own policy.
Before paying, you enter an e-mail address on the site. We keep the order number, the amount, the payment date, the issued key and this e-mail in order to:
- send the letter with the key;
- pass the e-mail to YooKassa for the fiscal receipt under Federal Law No. 54-FZ — the receipt comes to this address from YooKassa;
- find the purchase when you contact us — if the key is lost or the licence is moved.
The e-mail is not used for mailings. The letter with the key is sent through the Yandex Cloud Postbox mail service. Information about the purchase is not passed to any other third parties.
6. The pkutils.ru site
The site's web server, like any web server, sees visitors' IP addresses. The site pages run a Yandex Metrica counter that collects anonymised visit statistics. The counter is switched off on the purchase and activation pages and on pages showing a licence key.
7. Your rights and contacting us
Questions about data, requests to move or revoke a licence, or to delete activation records — contact support:
Deleting the activation records means revoking the licence on that computer.
8. Changes
A new version of the policy is published on the pkutils.ru site and applies from the date of publication. If the set of information the Programs send changes, this will be stated in the release notes.
