+Dropbox Privacy Policy
+
+ Posted: February 20, 2014
+
+ Effective: March 24, 2014
+
+ Thanks for using Dropbox! Here we describe how we collect, use and
+ handle your information when you use our websites, software and
+ services ("Services").
+
+What & Why
+
+ We collect and use the following information to provide, improve and
+ protect our Services:
+
+ Account. We collect, and associate with your account, information like
+ your name, email address, phone number, payment info, and physical
+ address. Some of our services let you access your accounts and your
+ information with other service providers.
+
+ Services. When you use our Services, we store, process and transmit
+ your files (including stuff like your photos, structured data and
+ emails) and information related to them (for example, location tags in
+ photos). If you give us access to your contacts, we'll store those
+ contacts on our servers for you to use. This will make it easy for you
+ to do things like share your stuff, send emails, and invite others to
+ use the Services.
+
+ Usage. We collect information from and about the devices you use to
+ access the Services. This includes things like IP addresses, the type
+ of browser and device you use, the web page you visited before coming
+ to our sites, and identifiers associated with your devices. Your
+ devices (depending on their settings) may also transmit location
+ information to the Services.
+
+ Cookies and other technologies. We use technologies like cookies
+ and pixel tags to provide, improve, protect and promote our Services.
+ For example, cookies help us with things like remembering your username
+ for your next visit, understanding how you are interacting with our
+ Services, and improving them based on that information. You can set
+ your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to
+ use the Services. If our systems receive a DNT:1 signal from your
+ browser, we'll respond to that signal as outlined here.
+
+With whom
+
+ We may share information as discussed below, but we won't sell it to
+ advertisers or other third-parties.
+
+ Others working for Dropbox. Dropbox uses certain trusted third parties
+ to help us provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. These
+ third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our
+ behalf and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
+
+ Other users. Our Services display information like your name and email
+ address to other users in places like your user profile and sharing
+ notifications. Certain features let you make additional information
+ available to other users.
+
+ Other applications. You can also give third parties access to your
+ information and account - for example, via Dropbox APIs. Just
+ remember that their use of your information will be governed by their
+ privacy policies and terms.
+
+ Dropbox for Business Admins. If you are a Dropbox for Business user,
+ your administrator may have the ability to access and control your
+ Dropbox for Business account. Please refer to your employer's internal
+ policies if you have questions about this. If you are not a Dropbox for
+ Business user but interact with a Dropbox for Business user (by, for
+ example, joining a shared folder or accessing stuff shared by that
+ user), members of that organization may be able to view the name, email
+ address and IP address that were associated with your account at the
+ time of that interaction.
+
+ Law & Order. We may disclose your information to third parties if we
+ determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply
+ with the law; (b) protect any person from death or serious bodily
+ injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of Dropbox or our users; or (d)
+ protect Dropbox's property rights.
+
+ Stewardship of your data is critical to us and a responsibility that we
+ embrace. We believe that our users' data should receive the same legal
+ protections regardless of whether it's stored on our services or on
+ their home computer's hard drive. We'll abide by the following
+ Government Request Principles when receiving, scrutinizing and
+ responding to government requests for our users' data:
+ * Be transparent,
+ * Fight blanket requests,
+ * Protect all users, and
+ * Provide trusted services.
+
+ Please visit our Government Request Principles and Transparency
+ Report for more detailed information.
+
+How
+
+ Security. We have a team dedicated to keeping your information secure
+ and testing for vulnerabilities. We also continue to work on features
+ to keep your information safe in addition to things like two-factor
+ authentication, encryption of files at rest, and alerts when new
+ devices and apps are linked to your account.
+
+ Retention. We'll retain information you store on our Services for as
+ long as we need it to provide you the Services. If you delete your
+ account, we'll also delete this information. But please note: (1) there
+ might be some latency in deleting this information from our servers and
+ back-up storage; and (2) we may retain this information if necessary to
+ comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our
+ agreements.
+
+Where
+
+ Around the world. To provide you with the Services, we may store,
+ process and transmit information in locations around the world -
+ including those outside your country. Information may also be stored
+ locally on the devices you use to access the Services.
+
+ Safe Harbor. Dropbox complies with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Safe
+ Harbor ("Safe Harbor") frameworks and principles. We have certified our
+ compliance, and you can view our certifications here. You can learn
+ more about Safe Harbor by visiting http://export.gov/safeharbor.
+ TRUSTe is the independent organization responsible for reviewing and
+ resolving complaints about our Safe Harbor compliance. We ask that you
+ first submit any such complaints directly to us via
+ privacy@dropbox.com. If you aren't satisfied with our response, please
+ contact TRUSTe at
+ https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.
+
+Changes
+
+ If we are involved in a reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of
+ our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal.
+ We will notify you (for example, via a message to the email address
+ associated with your account) of any such deal and outline your choices
+ in that event.
+
+ We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and will post the
+ most current version on our website. If a revision meaningfully reduces
+ your rights, we will notify you.
+

+
+ Have questions or concerns about Dropbox, our Services and privacy?
