Privacy Policy - Secure File Transfer
Last Updated: September 21, 2025
LargeFileTransfer.org is committed to providing the most secure large file transfer experience possible. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy-first approach to large file sharing and how we protect your data during peer-to-peer file transfers.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
LargeFileTransfer is designed for direct peer-to-peer file transfer. This means:
- We do not store your files on our servers. Files are transferred directly between the sender and receiver.
- We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or IP address.
- We do not track your file transfers or their content.
2. Signaling Server
Our signaling server is used solely to facilitate the initial connection between peers. It helps devices find each other and exchange necessary WebRTC signaling messages (offers, answers, ICE candidates). Once a direct peer-to-peer connection is established, the signaling server is no longer involved in the file transfer itself.
The signaling server does not log or store any file content or user-identifiable information beyond temporary session IDs required for connection setup.
3. WebRTC Technology
LargeFileTransfer utilizes WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) technology, which enables direct communication between web browsers. This technology is designed with privacy in mind, allowing data to flow directly between peers without intermediary servers once the connection is established.
4. Browser Permissions
When using LargeFileTransfer, your browser may ask for permissions (e.g., to access your file system for saving files). These permissions are handled by your browser and operating system, and LargeFileTransfer does not gain persistent access to your system beyond the scope of the current transfer as granted by you.
5. 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. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
