Privacy Policy

At AnTextShare, we believe in frictionless, anonymous sharing. This Privacy Policy outlines what minimal information we process, how long we keep it, and how we ensure your data remains yours.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Because AnTextShare is designed to be completely anonymous and frictionless, we explicitly do not collect or require:

• Names, Usernames, or Passwords (there are no user accounts).
• Email addresses or phone numbers.
• Payment information or credit card data.
• Persistent device identifiers for advertising.

2. The Data You Share (Text and Files)

When you use our service to generate a secure code for text or files, that data is temporarily stored on our secure Firebase servers. Here is how we handle it:

• 24-Hour Auto-Deletion: Every piece of text and every file uploaded to our database is strictly time-stamped. All shared data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from our servers automatically 24 hours after it is created.
• Encryption in Transit: All data sent between your browser and our servers is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.
• Access Limits: Your data can only be retrieved by someone holding the exact, randomly generated 4-character code. We do not index shared contents, nor are they searchable on search engines.

3. Live Code (Peer-to-Peer Sessions)

Our Live Code feature operates fundamentally differently from our standard text sharing:

• Zero Server Storage: Live Code uses WebRTC technology to establish a direct, peer-to-peer (P2P) connection between your browser and your partner's browser.
• End-to-End Encryption: The keystrokes and code you share during a Live Code session are encrypted end-to-end. The data never passes through, nor is it stored on, AnTextShare servers.

4. Analytics and Third-Party Services

To improve our service, ensure uptime, and understand aggregate usage, we utilize select third-party services:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track basic metrics (like total site visitors, page views, and geographic regions). This data is aggregated and anonymized.
• Firebase: We utilize Google Firebase for secure database hosting. Their infrastructure complies with strict international privacy and security standards.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

We believe in keeping a clean footprint on your device. We use minimal local storage purely for functionality:

• Theme Preference: We save a simple flag in your browser's Local Storage to remember if you prefer "Light Mode" or "Dark Mode" on your next visit.
• Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics may place cookies on your browser to measure site interaction, as per standard web practices.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features or as legal requirements change. Since we do not collect email addresses, we cannot notify users directly. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the service implies acceptance of the current policy.
