Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information SafefileMe at safefileme.com (the “Service”) collects, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect the following:
- Account information: such as your email address, display name, and a unique account identifier.
- Uploaded files and file details: the files you upload, along with their name, size, type, and upload time.
- Usage and log data: such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, and download and upload events with timestamps.
- Verification and security data: signals used to tell humans from bots and to prevent abuse, which may be processed by our verification providers.
- Reports and correspondence: information you send us when you contact us or report a file.
Accounts are created and managed through our partner service SafelinkMe, and one account covers SafelinkMe and its partner services. Account information you provide there is therefore available to SafefileMe, and SafelinkMe handles it under its own privacy policy.
How We Use Information
We use information to provide and operate the Service, to deliver files you or others request, to protect the Service against abuse, malware, and fraud, to enforce our Terms, to respond to reports and support requests, to measure and improve performance, and to comply with legal obligations.
Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies and similar technologies, such as browser local storage, for essential functions like keeping you signed in, remembering preferences, and protecting the Service. Third parties that provide verification or advertising on our pages may also set their own cookies or similar identifiers. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work without them.
Advertising and Third Parties
Our download pages may show advertisements provided by third-party ad partners, and some ads may open in a new tab or window. Ad partners may collect information such as your IP address, device details, and the pages you view, and may use cookies to show and measure ads. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, and we do not control it.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in these situations:
- With our partner service SafelinkMe, because both services use the same account system.
- With service providers that help us run the Service, such as hosting, storage, content delivery, verification, and security providers.
- With advertising partners, as described above.
- To respond to legal requests, enforce our Terms, handle abuse and copyright reports, or protect the rights, safety, and property of our users and the public.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.
Uploaded Files
Files you upload are accessible to anyone who has the download link. Treat links like passwords and do not upload sensitive or confidential files unless you are comfortable with that risk.
We may scan files automatically for malware and policy violations, and we may review files that are reported or flagged.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for the purposes described in this policy. Uploaded files may be deleted when they expire, become inactive, or violate our Terms. We may keep some records for longer where required for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
We and our service providers may process and store information in countries other than the one you live in. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information is handled with appropriate protections.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to request a copy of your data. These rights may arise under laws such as the GDPR and UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, and Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law.
To exercise your rights, contact us at support@safefileme.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version here and change the date at the top. Please review it periodically.
