Do not upload or publicly share information that you do not want to make accessible to others.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, authentication mechanisms, secure communications, infrastructure security, monitoring, and other security practices appropriate to the services we provide.

However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain user accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, maintain security, and protect our services.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer required for these purposes, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our operational and legal requirements.

13. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your Sfile account and associated personal information.

If you delete your Sfile account, we will process the deletion of information associated with your account in accordance with our deletion procedures.

Some information may be retained when necessary for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, enforcement of our Terms of Service, or other legitimate purposes.

If you used Google Sign-In to create or access your Sfile account, deleting your Sfile account also constitutes a request to remove the personal information associated with that Sfile account, subject to the exceptions described above.
