Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 15, 2025

At Qios.xyz, your privacy is our top priority. We are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring that your experience with our file-sharing service is secure, transparent, and fully in your control.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information when you use Qios.xyz.

🔍 1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our service. This includes:

a) Uploaded Files

Files you upload are stored temporarily for the purpose of sharing.

Files are automatically deleted after a limited period or once downloaded (based on system limits).

We do not open, view, scan, or analyze your files.

b) Technical Information

When you use Qios.xyz, we may collect:

IP address (for abuse prevention)

Browser type, OS, and device info

Access times and referring URLs

🔐 This data helps us prevent spam, abuse, and technical issues — not to track users personally.

c) Cookies

We may use limited first-party cookies to:

Remember your preferences (e.g., language)

Improve site performance

Analyze anonymous usage data

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

🔒 2. How We Use Your Data

We use the limited data we collect strictly for the following purposes:

To process and deliver shared files

To monitor system performance and fix bugs

To ensure compliance with our Terms of Service

To respond to user support requests

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or third parties.

🧹 3. File Retention & Auto Deletion

To ensure privacy and server efficiency:

Uploaded files are stored temporarily and deleted automatically after a set time (e.g., 24-72 hours) or after a limited number of downloads.

We do not offer permanent file hosting.

Files are stored using encrypted paths, making direct access impossible without the download link.

👤 4. User Accounts

Qios.xyz does not require user registration. You can upload and share files without creating an account.

If we introduce optional user accounts in the future (e.g., for managing uploads), we will update this policy accordingly and request your consent.

⚠️ 5. Abuse & Illegal Content

We reserve the right to monitor metadata (not content) to:

Detect and block abusive usage (e.g., malware sharing, spam)

Comply with legal obligations or law enforcement requests

We may suspend access or delete files immediately if found in violation of our terms.

🤝 6. Third-Party Services

We may use secure third-party services (like Cloudflare or Google Analytics) to:

Improve performance

Track site traffic (anonymously)

These services do not access your uploaded files or personal data. All analytics data is anonymous and used only to improve functionality.
