Antiquated laws that give people different protections based on where they live or maintain their citizenship don’t reflect the global nature of online services. We provide the same level of protection to all our users, and we scrutinize all the requests we receive, regardless of origin.
Privacy is paramount
Millions of people and 56% of Fortune 500 companies trust Dropbox with their most important files. We’ve earned that trust by keeping those files private and by making privacy the heart of everything we do.
Our commitment to our users
Your Dropbox account—and any files or data stored within it—is private.
The only users who can see files stored in your Dropbox account are you and the people you’ve chosen to share the file or folder with.
Dropbox does not sell personal data.
We won’t sell your data or information to advertisers, third parties, or anyone else, for that matter.
We work for your trust.
Nothing is more important than protecting your personal data. So we built a culture of security and privacy awareness, training each employee before they get access to systems or data.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, harmonizes data protection laws across Europe, bringing them up to speed with rapid technological change. Dropbox has invested heavily in GDPR compliance, forming a team of data-protection specialists and completing a full assessment of our practices.
Data management tools ease the burden on IT teams. The wealth of data and files across your organization doesn’t have to feel like a liability. You just need to know it’s protected, under control, and retrievable.
So if auditors come with questions, or if clients want to see an old file, you’re covered.
