Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

At NodeFerry, privacy is not just a feature; it is the foundation of our technology. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and how we ensure your file transfers remain strictly confidential.

1. Zero File Storage & Peer-to-Peer Transfers

NodeFerry is built on WebRTC peer-to-peer technology. When you transfer a file, the data flows directly from your device to the recipient's device. We do not upload, store, or process your files on our servers at any point. All file chunks transmitted through the NodeFerry data channel are end-to-end encrypted securely (AES-GCM).

2. Data We Collect

Account Information: If you choose to upgrade to our Pro subscription, we collect basic account information necessary for billing and authentication, such as your email address and name. We use third-party authentication providers (like Clerk) to manage your login securely.

Payment Information: All payments are processed securely via our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy. We do not store your credit card details on our servers. Lemon Squeezy collects and processes your payment information in accordance with their privacy policy.

Connection Metadata: To establish a connection between two devices, our Signaling Server temporarily handles connection metadata (Session Description Protocol and ICE candidates). This metadata is ephemeral, contains no file data, and is deleted immediately after the connection is established.

3. Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use cookies to improve your experience, manage user sessions, and serve advertisements.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. Analytics and Tracking

We do not track individual file transfer metrics or store identifying information about who sends what. We may collect anonymous, aggregated data (such as the number of active rooms or website visits) strictly to monitor server health, ensure service reliability, and understand website traffic.
