Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about RAR File Open Knife and OpenCandy:

OpenCandy is a software recommendation network that enables software developers like us to distribute software and generate money to offset the cost of development and support. When you install [name of software or product family] you will see a simple, user-friendly "offer" screen, which explains the software being offered and provides you the choice of accepting it.

Upon reviewing various options, RAR File Open Knife partnered with OpenCandy because of their respect for privacy and commitment to a transparent user experience. OpenCandy maintains stringent guidelines around how software and installers must behave, ensuring that no user is tricked or forced into installing anything they don't want. OpenCandy also comprehensively tests every piece of software on the network to make sure it works as it should and performs ongoing malware and virus scanning.

OpenCandy provides us with a simple and safe way to earn some money from our work while helping you discover new software (for free) that may be useful.

We specify the software we'd like to offer from OpenCandy's list of available advertisers. When you start our installer, it connects to OpenCandy's servers to get the list of applications we've chosen to offer, and the OpenCandy plug-in in our installer determines which recommendation to display. For more detailed information about how the recommendation process works, watch this video.

No. OpenCandy does not collect any PII (personally identifiable information). The service requires an Internet connection to operate and our installer sends a simple data request to get recommendations which will work on your computer and in a language you can understand. You can read more about their application and privacy policies on their Privacy Matters page.

OpenCandy is not installed on your computer. The OpenCandy plug-in integrated into our installer only runs during our application's installation process or the installation process for any software recommendation you accept. Once the installation and recommendation process has finished, the OpenCandy plug-in will be automatically removed from your computer.

If you do see a problem, you could first try contacting the author of the recommended software you installed (check the Help menu in the application for contact information). You may also get in touch with OpenCandy via their contact page.
