    • Questions & Answers

    KeyFocus Policies

    Is KF Web Server, or does it include any Adware/Spyware?

     KF Web Server does not include any 'extra' software, such as Gator.

    KF Web Server does not contain any hidden functionality to spy on you.

    KF Web Server does display a couple of ads on the administration front page. These are ordinary GIF images.
    If you look at the HTML source of this page, in your browser, you will see there is nothing sinister about them.
    These ads are only displayed to the administrator, there are no ads displayed on the sites you host with KF Web Server.

    What is your privacy policy?

     Keyfocus respects your privacy.
    We will never sell, share, or rent any data collected on our site to others.
    We do not use cookies for collecting user information from our site.

    We are registered with the UK Data Protection Registry, registration number Z6534285.

    Does KF Web Server infringe my privacy?

    No, none of our products could be classified as SpyWare.
    With KF Web Server, what you see is what you get and no more.
    KF Web Server does not collect hidden or personal information from your computer.
    KF Web Server does not attempt to contact our own site, or pass any information back to us, or anybody else.

    What is your upgrade policy?

    KF Web Server is being constantly improved and you are encouraged to join our mailing list, so we can keep you up to date with when new releases occur.

    What is your support policy?

     We are always keen to hear from our users and we will do our best to resolve any problems you may have. However, as we give KF Web Server away free and it is very popular, we cannot provide the same level of support as we do for our other products.

    What about non-English language versions?

     We want to add more features before we consider producing different language versions, but this is something we want to do in the future.

    We only speak English, so we will be looking for volunteers to help with any translation. This should be straight forward as the interface is written using the in-built scripting language KFL.

    An example of how this can be done is to look at the script that generates the automatic directory listings.
    This is called makeindex.wkf and can be found in the systemscripts sub-directory. You can change the text from English and even change the complete design by altering this script.
