Privacy & Terms of Use
Effective date: June 2026
GhostDrop is designed for privacy, minimalism, and zero retention. We do not track you. We do not identify you. We cannot see your content.
By using GhostDrop, you agree to the following principles:
Privacy by design
- ·We do not collect personal information, IP addresses, user agents, or cookies.
- ·We do not require accounts, authentication, or logins.
- ·We do not store unencrypted content.
- ·All data is encrypted in your browser before being sent — we cannot decrypt it.
- ·You may split decryption keys with Shamir Secret Sharing (n-of-t); each share remains client-side and is never transmitted to our servers.
- ·Stored content self-destructs after first access or a user-defined expiration.
Acceptable use
By using GhostDrop, you agree not to use the platform for:
- ·Illegal activities under applicable law
- ·Sharing or distributing malware, stolen data, or abusive content
- ·Harassment, threats, or abuse of individuals or systems
- ·Attempting to overload, exploit, or reverse-engineer the service
- ·Sharing screenshots of your crypto portfolio to flex on your broke friends
Transparency & changes
We may update this policy as the platform evolves. Major changes will be reflected here with a new effective date.
