Our commitment to transparency and user safety.
CrystalDiskInfo is an open-source project. This means the underlying source code is publicly available for anyone to inspect, audit, and modify. We believe that security through obscurity is not security at all. By keeping our code open, we allow the community to verify that our software does exactly what it claims to do—and nothing else.
We do not collect your personal data. CrystalDiskInfo does not track your browsing habits, does not upload your files to the cloud, and does not contain any bundled adware or spyware. The software operates entirely locally on your machine to monitor drive health.
CrystalDiskInfo is released under the MIT License. This is a permissive free software license that grants you extensive freedoms:
Because CrystalDiskInfo is a low-level system utility that accesses hardware directly, some overzealous antivirus software (heuristic scanners) may flag it as suspicious. This is a common issue for system tools.
If you downloaded the software from the official source or a trusted mirror (like SourceForge), these alerts are false positives. You can verify the file integrity using the SHA-256 checksums provided on the download page.
