Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 7, 2025

Your privacy is important to us. It is Shotafile.me's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website. We have a fundamental commitment to user privacy and have designed our service to be as anonymous as possible.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, log, or store any personal information. This includes, but is not limited to:

Your IP address
Your name or username
Your email address
Your physical address or location data
Any other personally identifiable information (PII)

You are not required to create an account or provide any personal details to use our service.

Information We Handle

While we don't collect personal data, we do handle some non-personal information as part of our website's operation.

Uploaded Files: We temporarily store the files you upload to our servers so they can be shared. You are solely responsible for the content of the files you upload.
Non-Personal Server Logs: Our web server may automatically log anonymous technical data, such as your browser type and the country of origin (provided by our network provider, Cloudflare). This information is aggregated, cannot be linked to any specific individual, and is used only for site administration and security.
Local Storage: We use your browser's localStorage to remember your preference for hiding our V2 announcement pop-up. This is stored entirely on your own device and is not used to track you.

Content Policy and Zero-Tolerance for CSAM

Zero-Tolerance Policy for Illegal Content

Shotafile.me has a strict, zero-tolerance policy against the hosting and sharing of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The safety of children is our paramount concern.

To enforce this policy, we utilize Cloudflare's CSAM scanning tool to analyze uploaded files for known illegal content. By using our service, you consent to this analysis.

Any files identified as CSAM will be immediately removed. We will preserve any associated data and will not hesitate to report the incident and cooperate fully with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant global law enforcement agencies to prevent this heinous crime.

Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable measures to protect the files you upload from loss, theft, and unauthorized access. Files may be removed at any time due to abuse reports, server maintenance, or violations of our content policy. As we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data to retain or delete beyond what is required for law enforcement cooperation in abuse cases.

Third-Party Services

Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us, such as social media platforms, Ko-fi, or Patreon. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and policies of those sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy practices.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page.
