A “Device” is any computer used to access the e-Share Software and Service, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, or other consumer electronic device. This Privacy Policy governs your access of the e-Share Software and Service, regardless of how you access it, and by using our Software and Service you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses described in this Privacy Policy.

When you register an account, we collect some personal information, such as your name, and email address.

When you invite others to join e-Share by using our referral page, we send them a one-time email for that referral. You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders or files with them. We may also receive Personal Information (for example, your email address) through other users, for example if they have tried to share something with you or tried to refer e-Share to you.
Automatically Collected Information
We automatically receive certain types of information when you interact with our Web pages, services and communications. For example, it is standard for your Web browser to automatically send information to every Web site you visit, including ours. That information includes your computer’s IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring web site addresses. We may also collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you.

When you use the Software and Service, we automatically record information from your Device, its software, and your activity using the Software and Service.

Service Providers, Business Partners and Others
We may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyze, and improve the Software and Service (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Software and Service’s features). These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy.
e-Share Community
Our Software and Service offers publicly accessible community services such as forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. Your posts may remain even after you cancel your account. For questions about your Personal Information on our Software and Service, please contact support@e-share.us. Our Site includes links to other web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those of e-Share. If you submit personal information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy statements. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any web site you visit.
Changing or Deleting Your Information
If you are a registered user, you may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information provided in your registration or account profile by changing your “account settings.” If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may update or delete it by making the change on your account settings.

We will respond to your inquiry within 30 days.
Security
We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at support@e-share.us.
International Users Outside of The EU
This Website is controlled, operated, and administered by e-Share from its offices within the United States of America and this Policy is provided in accordance with and subject to applicable U.S. law. If you are based outside the United States and decide to access this Website or e-Share Software and Service from your location outside of the United States, you hereby consent to the transfer of your information to the United States, and its storage and use in accordance with this Policy.

Privacy Shield Independent Recourse Mechanism
In compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles, e-Share commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this privacy policy should first contact e-Share at: support@e-share.us. If you do not receive timely acknowledgement of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, you can also submit your complaint to Privacy Trust, an independent third party. Visit https://www.privacytrust.com/drs/e-share to file a complaint. Finally, as a last resort and in limited situations, EU individuals may seek redress from the Privacy Shield Panel, a binding arbitration mechanism.
Accountability For Onward Transfer
e-Share is potentially liable when transferring your Account Data, referred to in this section as “Privacy Shield Data”, to a third party. e-Share will not share your Privacy Shield Data with third parties unless you have consented to the disclosure or in those situations where we are the data processor and have been instructed to do so by the data controller. e-Share may share your data with service providers solely for the purposes of rendering service to e-Share to facilitate the rendering of service to you. nCrypted Cloudwill ensure that third parties and service providers have adequate Privacy Shield Data protection measures in place through service agreements that adhere to the EU-US Privacy Shield principles or are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Enforcement And Liability
e-Share is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield principles outlined in this Privacy Policy. Under certain limited conditions, you may have the possibility of invoking binding arbitration before the Privacy Shield Panel to be created by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission.
