Overview
Before installing the Office Timeline add-in or any other software, users will want to ensure it is secure. To help with the evaluation, the following article provides essential security-related information regarding the add-in.
Internet Connectivity
-
Office Timeline requires internet connectivity only when activating the product and when renewing the license. The tool only accesses the following URLs during activation or renewal:
https://subscription.officetimeline.com/OtlSubscriptionService.svc
-
The add-in will try to access other URLs when checking for updates or reporting telemetry, but it will fall back when the respective URLs are not accessible.
Security and Data Protection
-
The only confidential information the add-in manages is the web proxy server password. This password is used when importing data from Wrike, and it is encrypted and stored in the registry using DPAPI.
-
Office Timeline may collect application and system information regarding how the add-in is used and how it performs. This data does not personally identify users and it is transmitted to a secure web service. For more information on anonymous usage data transmission and how to disable it, please follow the link below:

We digitally sign all our binaries and the add-in setup.
