Privacy Policy

At DirShare, your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our software applications, website, and services.

Our Privacy Commitment

Information We Do NOT Collect

It's important to understand what we don't collect or store:

• File Contents: We do not analyze, scan, or access the content of files shared through our service.

• Facilitate connections between DirShare Servers and Clients
• Authenticate users and manage account access
• Maintain and improve the performance and reliability of our service
• Identify and fix technical issues
• Ensure compliance with our Terms & Conditions
• Protect against security threats and abuse

Data Transmission and Temporary Storage

When you share files through DirShare, please understand:

• Files are temporarily processed by our router infrastructure during transmission
• This temporary processing is necessary to facilitate the connection between your server and client devices
• Files are not retained after successful transmission
• All transmissions are encrypted using industry-standard protocols

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses essential cookies to maintain session information and authenticate users. These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:

• All data transmissions are encrypted using TLS/SSL
• Account passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing algorithms
• Access to our systems is strictly controlled and monitored
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services to operate DirShare:

• Cloud infrastructure providers for hosting our routers and website
• Authentication services (if you choose third-party login options)
• Error monitoring and performance analytics tools

These third parties may have access to limited user data but are contractually obligated to protect it and use it solely to provide their services to us.

Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as you maintain an active account with DirShare. Connection logs and usage statistics are typically retained for no more than 90 days. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access information we have about you
• The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• The right to delete your account and personal information
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing of your data
• The right to data portability

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section.

International Data Transfers

DirShare operates globally, and your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in compliance with applicable laws.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
