Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using FileDroppr, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement.

2. Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily use FileDroppr for personal and commercial file sharing purposes. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title.

3. User Content

You retain all rights to the files you upload. By uploading files, you grant us the right to store, process, and serve your content to authorized viewers.

4. Prohibited Uses

You may not use FileDroppr to:

  • Upload or share illegal content
  • Distribute malware or harmful files
  • Violate intellectual property rights
  • Harass or harm others

5. Account Termination

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these terms or for any other reason at our discretion.

Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as:

  • Account information (name, email)
  • Files you upload
  • Readership data for documents you share (page views, time spent, country)

A note on reader privacy

When someone reads a document you shared, we do not store their IP address. Each reader is assigned a stable, pseudonymous identity derived from a salted one-way hash, so document owners can recognise returning readers without us ever retaining the underlying address. A reader's country is resolved in transit (via ip-api.com) and the IP is then discarded. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies; the only cookie we use is the first-party session cookie that keeps you signed in.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain our services
  • Process transactions
  • Send you important updates
  • Improve our services

3. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including:

  • Per-user AES-256 encryption for files at rest
  • HTTPS encryption for data in transit
  • Regular security audits

4. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings.

5. Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of processors to run the service:

  • Stripe - subscription payments and billing
  • MailerSend - transactional email (verification, password resets, share and notification emails)
  • ip-api.com - in-transit country lookup for reader analytics (no IP is stored)

6. Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

You can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time - deleting your account from your settings removes your account and all associated files. For any data request or question about how we process your information, email [email protected].

7. Contact
