We are doing this as an accommodation, we are not collecting your information, and we are not making a profit. There are no assurances if you use this application that any data you share is completely safe. Users assume all the risk. PearDrop is not affiliated in any way with any other file-sharing service (i.e. AirDrop, ShareDrop, SnapDrop, etc) PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. These terms of use (“Agreement”) govern your use of our PearDrop software, products, and/or services (collectively, “Products”) and any information, content or appearing on or through the Products (collectively referred to as “Content”). By accessing or using the Products, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. If you have entered into another agreement with PearDrop concerning specific Products, then the terms of that agreement controls where it conflicts with these terms. PearDrop reserves the right, at any time, to modify, alter, update or remove portions of this Agreement.

1. YOUR LICENSE TO USE OUR PRODUCTS.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Products, PearDrop grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, license to access and use the Products. You shall not (a) copy the Product or any part, feature, function or user interface thereof (b) use the Product to store or transmit infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy rights (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Product or its related systems or networks; and (d) reverse engineer the Product (to the extent such restriction is permitted by law).

2. PRIVACY.

This privacy policy covers the services accessed using PearDrop. PearDrop is a tool that allows users to share files between different devices, with no restrictions. These days, closed ecosystems surround us. iPhones only share with Apple devices, Android phones only with Windows, etc. Sending a file from one place to another is difficult and frustrating, usually requiring you to send an email to yourself. This is not acceptable, and PearDrop aims to solve this issue. PearDrop is an application built on a custom protocol that is available on every platform (Apple, Google, Windows, etc). This allows for simple and efficient file transfer when you really need it. PearDrop does not store or alter your data in any way. You can access PearDrop by downloading it off a website or through app stores.

This Privacy Policy describes PearDrop’s privacy practices in relation to information or file data transferred through the app and made available by us for use on or through devices that link to this Privacy Policy (the “App”).
