Your Privacy Matters: Stashr is built with privacy at its core. We collect only what's necessary to provide our service and never sell your data.
When you use Stashr, we collect minimal information necessary to operate our file sharing service. This includes the files you upload along with their metadata such as file name, size, type, and upload timestamp. We also store your access preferences including download limits and expiration settings you configure on your files. Each file is assigned a unique sharing URL for secure distribution.
For service operation and security purposes, we automatically collect certain technical information:
Your data serves three primary purposes within Stashr. First and foremost, we use it to operate the service itself-storing and delivering your files securely, enforcing the access controls you set, managing automatic file expiration, and generating secure sharing links. Every piece of data we collect directly supports these core functions. Without collecting this information, we simply cannot offer this service.
Security and abuse prevention form our second priority. We actively monitor for malicious uploads, spam, and automated abuse attempts. When users report problematic content, we investigate and take appropriate action. This continuous monitoring helps maintain Stashr as a safe platform for legitimate file sharing while preventing misuse.
Finally, we analyze aggregated usage patterns to improve service performance and reliability. This helps us identify technical issues, optimize file transfer speeds, and develop new features that benefit all users. All analytics are conducted on anonymized, aggregated data to protect individual privacy.
Your files are stored on secure cloud infrastructure distributed across multiple data centers worldwide. We employ TLS/SSL encryption for all data transfers between your device and our servers, ensuring your files remain protected during upload and download. For files you choose to password-protect, we apply additional encryption layers that make them accessible only with the correct credentials.
Data retention follows your chosen expiration settings:
We Do NOT Sell Your Data: Your information is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties for marketing purposes. This is a fundamental principle that will never change.
Information sharing at Stashr is limited to specific, legally necessary circumstances. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or legal process. Valid requests from law enforcement agencies are carefully reviewed and fulfilled only to the extent legally required. In cases involving child exploitation material, we immediately report to NCMEC and appropriate authorities as mandated by law.
We work with trusted service providers who help operate Stashr's infrastructure, including hosting and content delivery network services. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and process data solely to provide their designated services. In emergency situations involving imminent harm or ongoing illegal activity, we may share necessary information with authorities to prevent such harm.
You maintain complete control over your files throughout their lifecycle on Stashr. At any time, you can delete files you've uploaded, download them before expiration, or update their metadata and settings. When configuring uploads, you control critical privacy settings including password protection, download limits, and expiration timeframes.
Regarding your personal data rights:
Stashr uses cookies and similar technologies sparingly and only for essential purposes. Essential cookies enable core functionality like maintaining upload sessions and authentication states. Performance cookies help us understand how the service is used through anonymized analytics, allowing us to optimize performance and identify issues. Security cookies assist in detecting and preventing abuse attempts.
To deliver our service reliably and securely, Stashr relies on carefully selected third-party providers:
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy and security standards. We carefully vet all partners to ensure they meet high standards for data protection and security. If Stashr links to external websites, those sites operate independently under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Stashr is not designed for or directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our systems.
As a global service, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries different from your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers, maintaining the same high standards of protection regardless of where data is processed.
In the unlikely event of a security breach affecting user data, we have comprehensive response procedures in place. We will promptly investigate the incident, take immediate steps to mitigate any harm, and notify affected users if required by applicable law. We will also report the incident to relevant authorities as legally mandated.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we may provide additional notice through the service. Your continued use of Stashr after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
