What We Collect
Account Info: To create an account, you provide an email address and set a password. We use this solely for authentication and account access purposes.
File Data: When you upload files to our service, we store the actual file contents along with basic metadata like filenames and sizes. This is core to our file storage and sharing capabilities.
Usage Telemetry: We log how you interact with our website and services - pages viewed, uploads/downloads, devices and browsers used, IP addresses, and timestamps. Analyzing this data helps us optimize performance, add new features, and understand user behavior patterns.
How We Use Your Data
Secure Access: Your account email and encrypted password authenticate you to access your file storage and account settings.
File Management: Files you upload are stored and shared per the visibility and link settings you choose for each file.
Product Evolution: Usage telemetry guides our roadmap for enhancing existing features, building new capabilities, fixing issues, and refining the overall user experience based on actual usage data.
Safeguarding Data: We leverage industry-standard security controls like encryption, access restrictions, auditing, and other measures to protect data from unauthorized access or misuse. However, no system can be 100% infallible against all threats.

We may also disclose user information when legally required for law enforcement requests, court orders, or to establish or protect our legal rights.
