Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 6, 2024

1. Introduction

At PeerCrypt, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

By using PeerCrypt, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

2. No Data Storage

PeerCrypt does not store any files or content that you share through our service. All file transfers occur directly between browsers using peer-to-peer technology (WebRTC).

We do not have access to, nor do we maintain copies of, any files transferred through our service.

3. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service:

  • Temporary Connection Data: When you use PeerCrypt, we temporarily process connection data (such as WebRTC signaling information) to establish the peer-to-peer connection. This data is not stored after the connection is established.
  • Usage Analytics: We collect anonymous usage statistics to help us improve our service. This includes information such as browser type, device type, and general usage patterns. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
  • Cookies: We use essential cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our service. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites.
4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the purpose of:

  • Providing and maintaining our service
  • Improving and optimizing our service
  • Understanding how our service is used
  • Detecting and addressing technical issues
5. P2P Connection via WebRTC

PeerCrypt uses WebRTC technology to establish direct peer-to-peer connections between users. This means:

  • Files are transferred directly between users' browsers
  • Files do not pass through our servers
  • We use a signaling server only to help establish the initial connection
  • Once the connection is established, our servers are no longer involved in the file transfer
6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

  • All file transfers are encrypted end-to-end using the Web Crypto API
  • WebRTC connections are secured using DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security)
  • We use HTTPS to secure all communications with our website
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
