1. Introduction

Welcome to TransferFinn ("we," "our," "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains:

  • What information we collect and why
  • How we use that information
  • Your rights regarding your information

By using TransferFinn, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our service.

🔒 The Short Version: TransferFinn is designed to be private by default. We never store your files — they go directly between you and the recipient. We only collect minimal data to improve the service and show relevant ads.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect very limited data to keep TransferFinn running smoothly:

2.1 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit TransferFinn, we may collect:

  • Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, features used
  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, screen size
  • IP Address: For general location (country level) and analytics
  • Referrer: How you found TransferFinn

2.2 Information You Provide

When you use TransferFinn, you voluntarily provide:

  • Files: Files you choose to share (these go directly to the recipient)
  • File Metadata: File names and sizes (only during transfer)

Important: Your files are never stored on our servers. They are transferred directly between you and the recipient.

3. We Never Store Your Files

This is the most important part of our privacy commitment:

  • ✅ Files are transferred directly between devices using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology
  • ✅ Files never touch our servers
  • ✅ We have no access to your files
  • ✅ File transfers are end-to-end encrypted using WebRTC's DTLS encryption
  • ✅ The shared link expires after the transfer is complete
📁 We are a "zero-knowledge" service. We cannot see, access, or retrieve your files. The privacy of your data is built into our architecture.

4. Cookies & Tracking

TransferFinn uses minimal cookies to enhance your experience:

4.1 Essential Cookies

  • Theme Preference: Remember your dark/light mode preference

4.2 Analytics Cookies

  • Cloudflare Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics that don't use persistent cookies
  • Basic Usage Data: How many users visit, which pages are popular

4.3 Advertising Cookies

  • These cookies are used to show relevant ads and measure ad performance

5.3 WebRTC (Peer-to-Peer)

  • Purpose: Direct file transfer

  • Note: This is a browser API, not a third-party service

6. Security

  • ✅ Encryption: All transfers use DTLS encryption (same as HTTPS)
  • ✅ No Storage: Files are never stored on our servers
  • ✅ HTTPS: The entire site is served over HTTPS
  • ✅ Security Headers: We use security headers to protect against common attacks
