At LinearFiles, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our website or use our file-sharing services.
Our goal is to make file sharing simple and convenient while giving users clear information about how their content is handled.
1. About LinearFiles
LinearFiles is an online file-sharing platform that allows users to upload files and share them with others through links.
This Privacy Policy applies to the LinearFiles website and the file-sharing features provided through our platform.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use LinearFiles, we may collect the following categories of information.
Technical Information: Information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, access times, and diagnostic logs may be processed to operate, maintain, and protect our website.
File Information: When you upload a file, we may process the file and associated information, such as its name, format, size, upload time, and sharing-link details, to provide our file-sharing service.
Communication Information: If you contact us for support, send feedback, or report a problem, we may collect the contact details and message content you provide.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may use essential cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality and remember preferences. Any additional tracking technologies will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
3. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Provide file uploads, storage, downloads, and sharing links.
- Operate and maintain the LinearFiles platform.
- Monitor performance and troubleshoot technical issues.
- Detect abuse, suspicious activity, and potential security incidents.
- Respond to user questions and support requests.
- Meet applicable legal obligations and protect our legitimate interests.
We aim to use information only for appropriate purposes connected with providing, maintaining, and protecting our services.
4. File Ownership
Your files remain yours.
Uploading content to LinearFiles does not transfer ownership of that content to us. You retain the intellectual property rights you already hold in the files you upload.
You grant LinearFiles permission to process your files as necessary to provide the features you request, including file uploads, storage, sharing, and downloads. This permission does not transfer ownership of your content to LinearFiles.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to upload and share your files.
The detailed terms governing your use of the service are set out in our Terms of Service.
5. File Sharing and Access
LinearFiles allows users to share files through generated links.
Depending on the access controls implemented for a file, anyone who obtains its sharing link may be able to access or download it. Users should share links carefully and avoid distributing them to unintended recipients.
Please do not assume that a file is accessible only to a particular recipient unless the platform explicitly provides and enforces that restriction.
6. AI Training and Uploaded Content
LinearFiles does not use uploaded files to train AI models.
We do not use users' uploaded content to train our own AI models as part of operating LinearFiles.
Our purpose is to provide file-sharing functionality, not to use uploaded files as training material for artificial intelligence models.
If third-party services are used to operate our platform, their processing of information will be subject to the applicable arrangements and disclosures. We will update this policy if our relevant practices change.
7. File Expiration and Deletion
Files uploaded to LinearFiles expire after four days.
Our file-sharing service is designed for temporary file sharing. Uploaded files are scheduled to expire four days after upload.
After expiration, files are intended to become unavailable through the sharing service. Copies may take additional time to be removed from backups, technical logs, or systems operated by our service providers, depending on the applicable retention processes.
The four-day expiration period refers to the file's availability through LinearFiles and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every copy is permanently erased from every system at the exact moment of expiration.
For questions about a particular file or its deletion, please contact us.
8. Encryption and Data Security
LinearFiles uses end-to-end encryption to protect file content.
We take security seriously and use encryption as part of our approach to protecting uploaded files.
End-to-end encryption is designed to protect content so that only the intended endpoints holding the necessary decryption keys can read it. The exact protection depends on how encryption and key management are implemented.
We also take reasonable measures to protect the platform against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, and disclosure.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. Users should keep sharing links and any decryption keys or credentials confidential where applicable.
9. Third-Party Service Providers
We may rely on external providers for hosting, storage, infrastructure, website operations, security, or customer support.
These providers may process information as necessary to perform their assigned functions. Where required, we use appropriate arrangements to govern their handling of information.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to investigate abuse, protect users, or safeguard the security of our services.
We do not sell users' uploaded files as a commercial data product.
10. Cookies and Website Analytics
LinearFiles may use essential cookies or similar technologies to maintain website functionality and user preferences.
If analytics or other non-essential tracking technologies are used, we will provide applicable notices and obtain consent where required.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, as well as other available privacy-related remedies.
You can contact us to submit a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
We will handle requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
12. Children's Privacy
LinearFiles is not intended for use by children where such use is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that personal information has been collected inappropriately from a child, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
13. International Data Processing
Depending on the infrastructure and providers used to operate LinearFiles, information may be processed or stored in countries outside your country of residence.
Where applicable, we will take appropriate steps to comply with relevant data protection and international transfer requirements.
14. External Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. These websites have their own privacy policies and practices.
We encourage users to review those policies before sharing information with external services. LinearFiles does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party websites.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
