Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 4/6/2026

ShareHut ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our real-time collaboration platform for text editing, file sharing, and online whiteboard drawing.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • Account information (name, email address)
  • Authentication data (JWT tokens, OAuth data)
  • Room participation data (room IDs, membership status)
  • Text content shared within collaboration rooms
  • Files uploaded within collaboration rooms
  • Whiteboard drawing data and shared canvas content
  • Basic technical data (IP address, browser type, device info)

2. How We Use Information

  • To provide secure authentication and access control
  • To enable real-time collaboration across text, files, and drawing sessions
  • To prevent abuse and enforce rate limits
  • To improve platform performance, reliability, and security

3. Guest Rooms

Guest rooms are temporary and may expire automatically. Guest users may have limited functionality, and content may not be retained permanently after expiration.

4. Data Retention

We retain account data only as long as necessary to provide our services. Expired guest rooms and associated data may be automatically deleted according to our system policies.

5. Data Security

All communication is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. We implement JWT-based authentication, secure session handling, and server-side validation to protect against unauthorized access.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services, such as authentication providers (e.g., Google OAuth), hosting providers, and analytics tools. These services operate under their own privacy policies.

7. Your Rights

You may request deletion of your account or personal data by contacting us. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws and platform policies.
