Who we are
icmclab studio (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes Fortiva, a Windows password manager. Contact: info@icmclab.cloud
Fortiva desktop application
Fortiva is local-first and zero-knowledge. Your vault, entries, and master password stay on your device. We operate no servers that receive vault data. There is no telemetry, analytics, or account sign-up.
Stored locally on your PC (never uploaded to us):
- Encrypted vault (
vault.fva) and rolling snapshots - Rollback state (
local.state) and Windows Hello material (hello.keyprotect) - Preferences and local crash log - designed not to contain secrets
The only network connection (Personal): Fortiva checks GitHub Releases over HTTPS for application updates. This sends a standard HTTPS request (your IP and user agent as seen by GitHub) - not your vault, passwords, or Fortiva-created identifiers. Disable automatic checks in Settings → Updates.
The optional browser extension talks only to the local Fortiva app on your machine while the vault is unlocked - never to icmclab studio or third parties. Credentials release only after you click Fill.
