Privacy Policy — DropShare Free

Last updated July 17, 2026

Summary

DropShare Free is a free peer-to-peer file transfer Chrome extension. We do not create accounts, take payments, or store your files on our servers.

What the extension does

• Sends files browser-to-browser (WebRTC via PeerJS).
• Optional password encryption (AES-GCM) runs locally in your browser.
• HTTPS web-link shares use a public receive page so recipients do not need the extension.

Data on your device

• Settings (strict mode, session length, save method).
• HTTPS transfer quota usage for the free 1 GB web-link budget.
• Optional custom receive-page URL if you set one.

This stays in Chrome extension storage on your computer.

Third parties

• PeerJS (0.peerjs.com) — signaling so browsers can find each other. File bytes are intended to go peer-to-peer when possible.
• Receive page host (this Netlify site) — serves the download page HTML/JS only; it does not store transferred files.

What we do not collect

• No accounts or required email.
• No payments (free build).
• No advertising trackers in the extension.
• We do not sell personal information.

Permissions

• storage — settings and free-quota counters.
• Host access to PeerJS and this site — connections and HTTPS web links.
