Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 28, 2026
1. Introduction
ZainDesk ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our file transfer and screen sharing service at zaindesk.com.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide:
- Contact form submissions (name, email, message)
Automatically Collected Information:
- IP address (for connection purposes only)
- Browser type and version
- Device information
- Usage statistics (pages visited, time spent)
3. What We Do NOT Collect or Store
ZainDesk operates on a peer-to-peer model. We do NOT:
- Store your files on our servers
- Have access to the content of your file transfers
- Record or store screen sharing sessions
- Require user registration or login
- Collect personal identification beyond contact form submissions
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Facilitate peer-to-peer connections between users
- Respond to contact form inquiries
- Improve our service and user experience
- Display relevant advertisements
- Analyze usage patterns to optimize performance
5. Peer-to-Peer Technology
Our service uses WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) technology for direct peer-to-peer connections. This means:
- Files transfer directly from sender to receiver
- Screen sharing streams directly between participants
- Your data does not pass through or get stored on our servers
- Transfer codes are temporary identifiers that expire after use
Secure Transfer Feature
For sensitive or important files, ZainDesk offers an optional Secure Transfer feature that provides additional privacy protection:
- Two-Factor Verification: When enabled, the sender must approve each download request by verifying a 2-digit code shown to the receiver
- Single Download: Files can only be downloaded once - preventing unauthorized copies
- Sender Control: The sender maintains full control and must actively approve the download
- No Storage: Even with secure transfers, files are never permanently stored on our servers - they are deleted immediately after download or expiration
- Extended Expiry: Secure transfers have a 5-minute window (vs 45 seconds for regular transfers) to allow time for verification
This feature ensures that only the intended recipient can download your private files, adding an extra layer of security similar to delivery confirmation codes used by courier services.
