The Short Version

Floe is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file transfer service. This means your files are streamed directly from the sender's device to the receiver's device.

We do not store, view, or process your files. They never touch our servers/databases (because we don't have a database).

1. How the Transfer Works

When you send a file, we use WebRTC to establish a direct connection between you and the recipient. Our server is only used for "Signaling" (introducing the two devices). Once connected, the server steps aside, and data flows directly between peers.

2. Information We Collect

Files: We do NOT collect or store any files.
Metadata: We temporarily process filenames and sizes during the signaling phase to display them to the receiver. This data is not stored permanently.
IP Addresses: Like all web servers, our hosting provider may log connection request IP addresses for security and abuse prevention. We do not link this to your identity.

3. Third-Party Services

This project is open-source and hosted on Vercel (Frontend) and Render/Railway (Backend). Please refer to their respective privacy policies regarding server access logs.
