Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you use Share Large Video Files. This includes:
- Email address — when you register an account, sign in, or send/receive a transfer.
- Files you upload — the files and their metadata (name, size, type) that you transfer through our service.
- Transfer metadata — sender email, recipient emails, upload timestamps, expiry settings, and download activity.
- Log data — IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited, collected automatically when you access the service.
We do not collect payment information, and we do not require you to create an account to send or receive files.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver, maintain, and improve the file transfer service.
- Send account, password-reset, and transfer notification emails.
- Show you your transfer history when you're signed in.
- Monitor and prevent abuse, fraud, and violations of our Terms of Service.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties or use it for targeted advertising.
File Transfers & Storage
Files you upload are stored temporarily on our servers to facilitate transfers. Key points:
- Files are automatically deleted after the expiry period you set (or our default retention window).
- If you enable immediate file destruction, files are deleted as soon as the recipient downloads them.
- We do not read, scan, or process the contents of your files except where required for security checks (e.g., malware scanning).
- Files shared via link are accessible to anyone with the link during the retention period.
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any files you upload through our service.
Cookies & Tracking
We use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the service:
- Session cookie — keeps you signed in during your browser session.
- Terms acceptance cookie — remembers that you've accepted our terms so you're not shown the prompt repeatedly.
- Sender cookie — pre-fills your email address on the upload form for convenience.
We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. If analytics are enabled on this installation, they are disclosed in the site's configuration.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to help operate Share Large Video Files. These may include:
- Email providers — used to send account, password-reset, and transfer notification emails.
- Cloud storage providers — if the installation uses S3-compatible or similar remote storage for file uploads.
- Google reCAPTCHA — if enabled, used to prevent automated abuse of upload forms.
- Analytics services — if configured by the site administrator.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.
Data Retention
We retain different categories of data for different periods:
- Uploaded files — deleted automatically when the transfer expires or is manually deleted by the sender.
- Transfer records — metadata about transfers may be retained in logs for a limited period for security and abuse-prevention purposes.
- Account data — if you have a registered account, your email and account details are retained until you delete your account.
- Log data — server logs are retained for a limited time in accordance with our hosting provider's policies.
