4. Saved connections and credentials

BrowserFTP may allow users to save connection information for convenience. We take reasonable measures to protect stored connection-related data. However, users remain responsible for using strong credentials, limiting server access appropriately, and reviewing what information they choose to store in the platform.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies, sessions, and similar technologies to keep you logged in, maintain workspace state, improve usability, and understand how the service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the service may not work correctly if they are disabled.

We may use analytics, logging, and monitoring tools to understand usage, improve the product, and protect the platform against abuse or unauthorized access.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only when reasonably necessary:

• in connection with a merger, acquisition, or business transfer.

8. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and product usage.

9. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no system or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and you use BrowserFTP at your own risk.

You may be able to update certain account details from your profile or dashboard. For privacy or account-related requests, please use the BrowserFTP contact form.

11. Third-party services

BrowserFTP may rely on third-party infrastructure, analytics, email, or related services. Those services may process limited data as needed to help us operate the platform. Their own privacy terms may also apply.
