- Login credentials can be also—if the user selects that option—placed in a shortcut file on a desktop of the device launching a remote application directly. In that case editing or removal of the remote server data from the application do not cause its removal from the shortcut file. The data in the shortcut file is encrypted.
- Login credentials sent to server over network are always encrypted with RSA algorithm. Besides this, they are never shared with anyone.
- All data communication between the client and the server can be encrypted if that option is selected on the server.

- create backup copies of the log file,
- remove the old backup copies if their size is too large.
- If a remotely running MS Windows application reads the contents of the COMPUTERNAME environment variable and the server administrator decides that this contents must be generated on the client device then in order to generate the unique computer name Winflector Client for Android may use one of the following data in the following order: unique ID of the Android device, IMEI number of the device, serial number of the SIM card, and share it with the remotely running MS Windows application.
