Summary

THRM does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.

THRM has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, and no user accounts. The official website only relays public release information, downloads and the credits list from GitHub; it does not receive any data produced by the application. All data the application produces stays on your computer.

Data stored on your device

THRM stores the following locally. None of it leaves your machine unless you choose to share it.

Data Contents Location
Configuration Fan curves, profiles, RGB settings, application preferences Windows: application data / installation directory · Linux: XDG state directory
Logs Diagnostic messages produced at runtime logs/ under the same directory · Linux may use journald
Temperature history Recorded CPU/GPU/device temperature and fan speed samples telemetry/history.bin under the data directory

Despite its filename, telemetry/history.bin is a local-only temperature history file used to draw charts in the interface. It is never uploaded.

Data read from your system

To do its job, THRM reads hardware and system information locally, including CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speeds, power draw, connected HID/BLE device identifiers, and the name of the foreground process when per-application profiles are enabled. This information is used only to drive fan control and the on-screen display. It is not stored beyond the local files listed above and is never transmitted.

Network connections

THRM connects to the network only while the About page is open, and only for the purposes below. If you never open the About page, the application makes no network connections.

Destination Purpose Data sent
thrm.tianli0.top (official website) Check for a newer release, load the credits list, and download the installer if you choose to update Nothing beyond what any HTTPS request necessarily reveals: your IP address and a standard user agent
api.github.com, github.com, raw.githubusercontent.com, *.githubusercontent.com The same requests, used only when the official website cannot be reached Same as above
q1.qlogo.cn, avatars.githubusercontent.com Display the avatars of sponsors and contributors in the credits list Same as above

No identifier, hardware profile, or usage data is attached to any of these requests.

The official website is operated by the maintainer. Its server relays the public GitHub release information, release downloads and the credits file so that they can be reached from regions where GitHub is slow or unavailable. Like any web server it keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, requested path and user agent), which are used only to keep the service running and are not shared or sold.

GitHub and Tencent (QQ avatars) are independent services, and their handling of these requests is governed by their own policies, such as the GitHub Privacy Statement.

Diagnostic packages

The application can export a diagnostic package (a .zip containing hardware information and recent log files) to help investigate a problem. This is always initiated by you, saved to a location you choose, and never uploaded automatically.

Before attaching a diagnostic package to a public issue report, please review its contents — logs may contain device identifiers, file paths, and the names of running applications.

Third-party components

THRM bundles LibreHardwareMonitor and PawnIO to read hardware sensors on Windows. Both operate locally and are not used to collect or transmit data.

Children's privacy

THRM does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children, because it does not collect data at all.

Changes

Changes to this policy are published in this file and tracked in the repository's Git history.
