Privacy Policy

Effective date:

This Privacy Policy explains how Furlders (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, apps, and services (the “Service”).

Information we collect

  • Account info: email, username, and profile fields you choose to add (such as an avatar URL, if available).
  • Content you save: folders, links/URLs, titles/descriptions/notes, comments, and sharing/collaboration metadata.
  • Security + usage data: IP address, device/browser info, timestamps, and activity logs used to protect the Service.

IP logging & security monitoring

We log IP addresses and related security signals to: prevent fraud, protect accounts, rate-limit abuse, detect suspicious logins, and investigate incidents. We may infer approximate location from IP for security purposes (for example, to detect suspicious logins). We may store IP addresses in security logs and/or store a hashed form of IP addresses for abuse prevention.

URL scanning & abuse prevention

To keep Furlders safe, we may automatically scan/inspect saved URLs and related metadata to detect malware/phishing, spam patterns, and content that may be illegal or violate these Terms. We may also review content when it is reported or flagged. Any warnings or scanning results are informational and do not guarantee a link is safe.

  • detect malware, phishing, scams, and spam campaigns
  • prevent the Service from being used to share illegal or harmful content
  • enforce our Terms (including content that is illegal or violates policy)

Important: This scanning is for safety and abuse prevention. It may include automated checks and, in certain cases, manual review (for example, when content is reported or flagged). If we detect content that appears illegal (e.g., CSAM) or poses an imminent safety risk, we may remove it, suspend accounts, and report it to appropriate authorities as required by law.

Website previews & screenshots

To improve usability, Furlders may automatically generate previews of saved links. This may include retrieving page titles, metadata, or generating a screenshot preview of a webpage when a link is saved.

These previews are generated automatically by our systems and are stored solely to provide visual reference for links saved within the Service. Furlders does not control the content of third-party websites and does not modify the content of those sites.

Preview images may be regenerated, cached, or deleted over time as part of normal service operations.

How we use information

  • Provide and improve the Service (saving, organizing, and sharing links)
  • Operate features (comments, sharing/collaboration, activity history)
  • Customer support and communications
  • Security, abuse prevention, and enforcement of Terms
  • Analytics to understand performance and reliability
  • Automated safety analysis: We may use automated systems to analyze links, metadata, and usage patterns to detect spam, malware, phishing attempts, and abuse of the Service.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to:

  • Service providers who help run the Service (hosting, databases, email delivery, security tooling)
  • Other users when you share a folder or collaborate (they can see shared content)
  • Legal/safety reasons if required to comply with law or protect users and the Service
  • Infrastructure providers: The Service may be hosted using third-party infrastructure providers (for example cloud hosting, storage, databases, and content delivery networks). These providers process data only as necessary to operate the Service on our behalf.

Data retention

  • We retain account and saved-content data while your account is active.
  • Security logs (including IP addresses) are retained for a limited period as needed for security, abuse prevention, and incident response.
  • When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your data, except where we must retain certain records for legal, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.

Your choices

  • Delete your account: available in Account → Danger Zone.
  • Shared content: if you share a folder, collaborators may retain access until sharing is revoked.

Children

Furlders is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Security practices

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect user data, including encrypted connections, access controls, abuse prevention systems, and monitoring tools intended to detect suspicious activity.

No system can guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to improve the safety and reliability of the Service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice.
