Data Collection

This instance of scrapbox collects the minimum amount of data necessary to provide file sharing services:

• Files: The files you upload to our servers for the duration defined by the site's retention policy.
• Metadata: Files are uploaded as is. We store the original filename (unless encrypted), file size, and upload timestamp.

Client-Side Encryption

When you enable encryption, your files are protected using AES-256-GCM encryption directly in your browser before they are sent to the server.

Zero-Knowledge Storage

Because encryption happens on your device, the files stored on there server's disks are secure. Site administrators cannot decrypt or view the contents of your encrypted files.

If you lose your password, your data is permanently unrecoverable. There is no backdoor or password reset mechanisms for encrypted files.
