Privacy
What we store
- Encrypted file contents (ciphertext), until deletion.
- Minimal metadata: an unguessable id, file size, your chosen expiry and burn setting, a one-way password verifier (if set), and a download counter.
- A salted, hashed form of the uploader's IP for abuse prevention — never the raw IP.
What we never store
- Your decryption key (it lives only in the link fragment).
- Your password in any recoverable form.
- The plaintext contents of end-to-end encrypted files.
- File contents in logs.
Deletion
Files are deleted on download (burn mode) or at expiry, whichever comes first. Metadata rows are removed once the file is purged.
Beam (device-to-device)
When you use Beam, the file never reaches us. The two devices connect directly and we relay only the brief, automatically-expiring signalling needed to introduce them — short-lived public keys and connection details, deleted within minutes. We store no file, no filename, and nothing that would let us reconstruct or read the transfer.
No ads, no tracking sale
We do not show ads and we do not sell data. The service is designed to know as little about your files as technically possible.
