Introduction
Biohost ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our file hosting service.
Information we collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate and secure the service. This may include:
- File data: files uploaded to Biohost and the metadata needed to serve them.
- Usage data: technical information used for performance, abuse prevention, rate limiting, and security.
- Account information: email address and hashed password if you create an account.
- Contact messages: information you submit through the contact form.
How we use information
We use collected information to provide, maintain, and improve Biohost. We also use it to detect abuse, prevent technical problems, enforce the Terms of Service, and respond to reports.
File retention
Files uploaded anonymously are temporary and expire after the configured retention period. Registered users may keep files until they delete them, subject to service limits and moderation. Deleted or expired files may be removed from storage as part of cleanup jobs.
Third-party services
Biohost may use infrastructure, analytics, anti-abuse, or verification services to operate the site. These services may process limited technical information required for their function.
Security
We use technical and organizational measures to protect the service against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so avoid uploading files that require guaranteed long-term confidentiality.
