Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 20, 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

At Share Via WiFi, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how our service works and what data, if any, we collect when you use our file sharing application.


Information We DO NOT Collect

Your Files: We never store, access, or process your files. Files are transferred directly between your devices using WebRTC technology, completely bypassing our servers.

Personal Information: We do not require registration, email addresses, or any personal information to use our service.

File Content: We cannot see what files you share, their names, sizes, or any other metadata about your files.

Information We May Collect

1. Analytics Data (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This includes:

  • Page views and session duration
  • Browser type and operating system
  • General geographic location (country/region)
  • Referral sources (how you found our site)

This data is anonymized and helps us improve the service. You can opt out by using browser extensions that block Google Analytics.

2. Connection Metadata

Our signaling server temporarily stores minimal connection information to help establish peer-to-peer connections:

  • Room IDs (temporary, auto-deleted)
  • WebRTC signaling data (deleted after connection establishment)
  • Basic error logs for debugging (no personal information)

This data is automatically deleted within 24 hours and is never linked to any personal information.

3. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support our free service. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Show relevant advertisements
  • Measure ad performance
  • Provide aggregate reporting to advertisers

You can control ad personalization through your Google Ad Settings or use ad blockers if you prefer.

How Your Files Are Transferred

When you share files using WIFI File Share:

  1. Your devices establish a direct peer-to-peer connection using WebRTC
  2. Files are encrypted and transferred directly between devices
  3. No file data passes through our servers at any point
  4. The connection is automatically closed when transfer completes

Cookies and Local Storage

Our website may use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly
  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics tracking (can be disabled)
  • Advertising cookies: Google AdSense (can be blocked)
  • Local storage: Temporary storage for user preferences (stored locally on your device)

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

  • Google Analytics: Website analytics and usage tracking
  • Google AdSense: Displaying advertisements
  • Cloudflare: Content delivery and DDoS protection

Each of these services has their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.

Data Retention

Since we don't store your files or personal information, there's no data retention policy for your content. Any temporary connection data is automatically deleted within 24 hours.

Security Measures

We implement several security measures to protect your privacy:

  • HTTPS encryption for all website communications
  • WebRTC encryption for all file transfers
  • Minimal data collection practices
  • Regular security audits and updates

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, most data protection rights don't apply. However, you can:

  • Block cookies and tracking through your browser settings
  • Use ad blockers to prevent advertising cookies
  • Contact us with any privacy concerns

Children's Privacy

Our service does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used our service, please contact us and we will investigate and take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last modified" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
