4.2. Business Transfers

5. Data Security
We implement security measures to protect your information, including:

End-to-End Encryption: Files are encrypted before they are uploaded to the server, ensuring that the data remains secure throughout the entire process. Once the encryption is performed, a unique random encryption key is generated for each file. This key is then provided exclusively to the user, and it is the only means by which the file can be decrypted. Without this key, no one—whether a malicious actor or an unauthorized party—can access or decipher the content of the file. This robust encryption process ensures that the file remains encrypted not only during the upload process but also while it is stored on the server, effectively safeguarding it from unauthorized access at all times. The encryption mechanism ensures end-to-end security, where the file is protected at every stage: from the moment it is encrypted on the user’s device, to its secure transfer over the network, to its storage on the server, and finally, to its decryption at the user’s end upon download. This approach guarantees that the file remains private and inaccessible to anyone without the proper decryption key, upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and security throughout the entire file-handling process.
Access Control: Limited access to stored information, ensuring only authorized personnel handle critical data.
Security Audits: Regular assessments to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Despite these measures, no system is entirely secure. Users are advised to safeguard their file keys and passwords to prevent unauthorized access.

6. Data Retention

Uploaded files are stored temporarily and automatically deleted after 24 hours unless an account feature allows extended storage.
Usage data may be retained for analytics and security monitoring.

7. User Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws, including:

Access: Request details of the information we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Deletion: Request deletion of personal information.
Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Direct Sharing: Users can generate a unique shareable link to send files via their preferred social media applications.
End-to-End Encryption: File downloading links sent via social platforms allow you to download it from anywhere. Third-Party platform’s privacy policy involves here as using the file downloading link, anyone can download the file.
