This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document explains what information Dropbox collects about you, how it uses and shares that information, and what controls you have over it. Dropbox will not sell your information to advertisers, but it may share it in certain legal situations or if the company is sold or reorganized. You can access, update, download, or delete your personal information directly from your account settings.
The Dropbox Privacy Policy establishes Dropbox's practices for collecting, using, storing, and sharing user data across its Services. It sets out Dropbox's data collection scope—including identifying and device information gathered from viewers of shared content—and defines the conditions under which Dropbox may disclose information to third parties, including in response to legal processes and in connection with corporate transactions such as mergers or asset sales. The policy explicitly prohibits the sale of user information to advertisers or other third parties, and retains Dropbox's accountability for third-party processors acting on its behalf. Users are afforded self-service rights to access, amend, download, and delete their personal information through their account settings, and Dropbox commits to notify users when a policy revision meaningfully reduces their rights.
Ordinary users should be aware that Dropbox collects identifying information—including email addresses, IP addresses, and device identifiers—not only when they actively use the service but also when they simply view content shared through features that provide analytics to content owners; when you view such content, your name, email address, and device information are also shared with the person who shared the file. If you use a Dropbox Team account, your administrator may have the ability to access and control that account. If you delete your account, Dropbox begins deleting your information after 30 days, not immediately. To exercise your data rights, you can access, amend, download, or delete your personal information by visiting your account settings page.
