Binding Agreement
Using PrivShare, with or without an account, means you accept these terms and our Privacy Notes.
Terms of Use
The agreement that governs your use of PrivShare.
By accessing or using PrivShare you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. PrivShare is a zero-knowledge encrypted sharing tool, which means you are solely responsible for the content you encrypt and the keys that unlock it.
Last updated:
TL;DR: Use PrivShare lawfully, do not abuse it, and keep your own decryption keys safe. The service is provided “as is” without warranties, and because it is zero-knowledge, we cannot recover content or keys on your behalf.
Acceptance of These Terms
What you agree to when you use the service
Eligibility
You must be legally able to enter into a contract and be at least the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction to use the service.
Ownership of Content
You retain all rights to content you share. PrivShare claims no ownership over the ciphertext you upload.
Acceptable Use
What is welcome, and what is prohibited
You Are Welcome To
- Share content you own or are authorized to share with intended recipients
- Send secrets, credentials, and files with expiration and burn-after-reading controls
- Use the service for personal or business purposes within the limits of your plan
You Must Not
- Share unlawful content, malware, or material that infringes others' rights
- Distribute content you have no right to share or that violates any law
- Attempt to breach, overload, probe, or reverse-engineer the service or its infrastructure
- Abuse automated access, resell the service, or circumvent plan limits
Your Responsibilities
What zero-knowledge means for you
Keys & Links
Decryption keys live in the share link fragment or in a password you set. You are responsible for delivering links securely and keeping passwords safe.
Content You Share
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share content and that doing so complies with applicable laws and any agreements you are bound by.
Account Security
If you register an account, you are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
Availability
Shares are short-lived by design. Expiration, burn-after-reading, revocation, and deletion make shares permanently unavailable, so retrieve content in time.
Disclaimers & Liability
The limits of what the service guarantees
Provided “As Is”
The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, availability, or uninterrupted operation.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PrivShare is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, content, or decryption keys arising from your use of the service.
Zero-Knowledge Notice
Because of the zero-knowledge architecture, there are things the service cannot do, even at your request:
- Recover content if you lose the decryption key or password
- Restore a share after it has expired, been burned, or been deleted
- Moderate or inspect the plaintext of encrypted shares
We may suspend or remove access to shares or accounts that violate these terms, to the extent technically possible under the zero-knowledge model.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the site. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Continued use of PrivShare after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
