Privacy Policy
Our Approach to Data
At Everstore, we believe in being transparent about how we handle your data. Our business model allows us to offer unlimited storage by utilizing your data in ethical and transparent ways, while maintaining your privacy.
The PrivAct Model
Our proprietary PrivAct model identifies and abstracts private information in your files. This technology:
- Automatically identifies personal and sensitive information
- Creates abstracted versions of your data for use in our machine learning models
- Maintains a clear separation between your private content and the data we use
- Gives you control over what information can be used and how
How We Use Your Data
We are able to offer unlimited free storage because we utilize anonymized, abstracted data to improve our services and develop new technologies. Specifically:
- We use federated learning with anonymized data to train our AI models
- We sell aggregated, anonymized insights derived from user data to trusted partners
- We analyze usage patterns to improve our service performance and features
- We may use non-personal content to train language and image processing models
Data Monetization
To provide our free unlimited storage service, we do monetize certain aspects of anonymized data. This includes:
- Selling anonymized, aggregated trend data to market research companies
- Licensing abstracted content datasets to AI research organizations
- Providing anonymized usage analytics to technology partners
- Using anonymized data to improve targeted advertising for our premium services
Important: We never sell or share your personally identifiable information, raw file contents, or sensitive data. All monetized data is thoroughly anonymized and abstracted through our PrivAct model.
Your Control Over Your Data
We believe in giving you control:
- You can opt out of data usage for AI training at any time
- You can request deletion of your data from our systems
- You can view what data has been abstracted and how it's being used
- You can choose to upgrade to a premium account which limits data usage
Data Security
We implement strong security measures to protect your data:
- End-to-end encryption for all stored files
- Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
- Strict access controls for all systems containing user data
- Compliance with relevant data protection regulations
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for regulatory reasons. We will notify users of any significant changes.
