Does Pandafile sell my data?
No. We do not sell your personal data to anyone. A few service providers process data on our behalf, such as storage, payments and ads, under data processing agreements and only for running Pandafile.
It is a fair question for any free service. Our answer is simple: we do not sell personal data, not your email address, not your recipients' addresses and not anything about your files.
How Pandafile pays for itself
- Ads on free upload and download pages.
- Pro subscriptions at £12 a year.
That is it. There is no data brokering and no selling of email lists.
Who processes data for us
Like any online service, we rely on a few providers. Each one works under a data processing agreement and may only use your data to provide its service to us.
- Hetzner: servers and file storage in Helsinki, Finland.
- Supabase: database hosting in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Stripe: payments for Pro. Stripe handles your card details, we never see the full number.
- Google: ads on free pages. Personalised ads only with your consent.
- Cloudflare: bot protection on some forms, only when enabled.
Our emails are sent by our own mail service, Sitewig Mail, which is run by the same company as Pandafile.
When we have to share
We disclose data to authorities only when the law requires it. For example, child sexual abuse material is reported to the Internet Watch Foundation or the National Crime Agency, and we may have to answer a valid court order.
