Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Introduction

RapidShare (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our file sharing service at rapidshare.live.

Information We Collect

RapidShare is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information:

  • Uploaded files — stored temporarily on secure cloud servers until expiry.
  • File metadata — file name, size, and type for display purposes only.
  • No personal data — we do not collect names, emails, IP addresses, or browsing history.

How We Use Information

  • To provide the file sharing service (upload, generate code, download).
  • To enforce file expiry and download limits.
  • To protect our service from abuse via rate limiting.

Data Storage & Security

Files are stored on encrypted cloud infrastructure (Cloudinary). Password-protected files use BCrypt hashing. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Files are permanently deleted after their chosen expiry period (1 hour, 8 hours, or 24 hours).

Cookies & Tracking

RapidShare does not use tracking cookies or analytics that identify individual users. We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools that collect aggregate, anonymous usage data to improve our service.

Third-Party Services

We use Cloudinary for secure file storage. Cloudinary's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy. No user-identifiable information is shared with Cloudinary.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there is no personal data to request, modify, or delete. Uploaded files are automatically purged after their expiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RapidShare collect personal data?

How long are uploaded files stored?

Files are stored for the duration you select (1 hour, 8 hours, or 24 hours). After the expiry period, files are permanently deleted from our servers.

Does RapidShare share data with third parties?

RapidShare does not sell or share any user data with third parties. Cloud storage infrastructure (Cloudinary) is used solely for temporary file hosting.
