Privacy Policy

1. Overview

BurnShare is designed with privacy at its core. We collect the absolute minimum amount of information necessary to operate the service. We do not require accounts, do not track you across the web, and do not sell or share your data with anyone.

2. Information We Collect

IP Addresses: We temporarily store your IP address for the sole purpose of enforcing upload rate limits (3 uploads per 24 hours). This data is stored in our rate-limiting system with a 24-hour time-to-live and is automatically deleted after that period.

File Metadata: When you upload a file, we store the file name, size, MIME type, and expiry settings. This metadata is automatically deleted when the file expires or is burned after download.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

• No user accounts or registration
• No email addresses or personal identifiers
• No tracking cookies or analytics
• No browsing history or behavioral data
• No device fingerprinting

4. File Storage and Security

Uploaded files are stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 with encryption in transit. Files are automatically and permanently deleted based on your chosen expiry settings -- either after the first download (burn-on-download) or after the time limit you selected (maximum 24 hours). We do not access, read, scan, or analyze the contents of your files.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate BurnShare:

• AWS S3 — File storage (encrypted in transit, auto-deleted per expiry)
• Upstash Redis — Temporary file metadata and rate-limiting data

We do not share your data with any other third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.

6. Data Retention

• Files: deleted after expiry or download (maximum 24 hours)
• File metadata: deleted alongside the file
• Rate-limit data (IP): automatically expires after 24 hours

No data is retained beyond these periods. There are no backups of deleted files.

7. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal information or maintain user accounts, there is no personal data to request, modify, or delete. Files and their metadata are automatically purged per the expiry settings you choose at upload time.

8. Children's Privacy

BurnShare is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of BurnShare constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
