Privacy & Cookie Policy
How this website and TenzoShare-related services handle personal data, analytics, cookies, and European privacy rights.
Last updated: June 1, 2026
1. Who This Policy Covers
TenzoShare is an open-source, self-hosted file exchange project. This policy covers visitors to the TenzoShare website and people who contact the project. If an organisation runs its own TenzoShare deployment, that organisation is normally the data controller for the accounts, files, logs, and recipients inside that deployment.
2. Data We Collect
Website and security data
IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referrer, approximate location, timestamps, and security logs needed to operate and protect the site.
Analytics data
If you consent, we use Google analytics tools to measure visits, popular pages, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. We configure analytics to avoid collecting more information than needed.
Contact data
Name, email address, organisation, message content, GitHub username, and any details you choose to send when you contact us or open a discussion.
Product deployment data
A TenzoShare deployment may process user accounts, file metadata, encrypted files, transfer links, recipient details, audit logs, and administrator actions. The deployment operator controls that data.
3. Why We Use Data
- To provide, secure, maintain, and improve the website and project.
- To respond to enquiries, security reports, support requests, and community discussions.
- To understand website traffic and product interest when analytics consent has been given.
- To prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and protect the website, repositories, and users.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable project terms or licences.
4. Legal Bases Under GDPR
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Necessary site operation and security | Legitimate interests |
| Responding to contact or support requests | Contract or pre-contract steps; legitimate interests |
| Google analytics and non-essential cookies | Consent |
| Legal compliance and dispute handling | Legal obligation; legitimate interests |
5. Cookies, Local Storage, and Analytics
This website uses a necessary local storage item named tenzoshare_cookie_consent_v1 to remember your cookie choice. This is required so the site does not keep asking you the same question.
Analytics is optional. If you accept analytics, Google analytics tools may set cookies or similar identifiers and process information about your visit. If you reject non-essential cookies, analytics is not enabled by this site.
6. Sharing, Processors, and Selling Data
We do not sell personal data for money. We may share limited data with service providers that help operate the website, repositories, analytics, communications, security, or hosting. Google may process analytics data as described in its own policies.
Some privacy laws use broad definitions of “sale” or “sharing” for analytics and advertising-related disclosures. Where those definitions apply, rejecting analytics or reopening Cookie Settings and turning analytics off is treated as an opt-out for this website.
7. International Transfers
Service providers, including Google and GitHub, may process data outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. Where required, transfers should rely on recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent protections.
8. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected. Security logs are generally kept for operational and abuse-prevention needs. Contact messages are kept while the enquiry remains relevant. Analytics retention follows the configured Google analytics retention period unless deleted sooner.
9. Your European Privacy Rights
If GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar European privacy laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, receive a portable copy of your data, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
You can withdraw analytics consent at any time by using Cookie Settings. For other requests, contact us through the project contact channels and describe the request clearly.
10. Security
TenzoShare is designed around strong security controls, including encryption, access controls, audit logs, rate limiting, and hardened deployment patterns. No website or software system can guarantee absolute security, but we work to limit collection and protect the data involved.
11. Children
The website and project are intended for professional, technical, and organisational use. They are not directed to children.
12. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy as the project, website, analytics setup, or legal requirements change. Material updates should be reflected by changing the “Last updated” date.
