THOTBB Files ("we", "our", "the service") is a file hosting platform for members of the THOTBB.PK community. This policy describes how we handle information when you use the service.

1. Information we collect

• Account data: When you sign in with your forum credentials, we receive your user ID, username, avatar URL, and forum usergroup IDs from the THOTBB.PK XenForo forum. We do not receive or store your forum password.
• Uploads: File names, sizes, optional descriptions, passwords (stored in hashed form), and expiry settings you set. File contents are stored on our infrastructure.
• Usage: We may log uploads, downloads, and IP addresses for abuse prevention, rate limiting, and security. Admin tools may show aggregate stats (e.g. top uploaders).

2. How we use it

We use this data to operate the service (e.g. enforce upload limits by usergroup, show your files, allow password-protected downloads), prevent abuse (e.g. IP bans, rate limits), and respond to lawful requests (e.g. DMCA, court orders).

3. Sharing

We do not sell your data. We may share information with the forum (THOTBB.PK) for account linkage, and with law enforcement or rights holders when required by law or to enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Retention

Files and metadata are retained until you delete them or they expire. Logs may be retained for a limited period for security and debugging. Banned user/IP records are kept to enforce bans.

5. Your choices

You can delete your files and folders at any time. To stop using the service, simply do not log in; we do not maintain a separate "account" beyond your forum identity.

6. Contact

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact dmca@thotbb.pk.

By using THOTBB Files you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Use of the service

THOTBB Files is a file hosting service for the THOTBB.PK community. You must sign in with a valid forum account. You may upload, store, and share files within the limits set by your forum usergroup and our technical limits (e.g. file size, storage).

2. Acceptable use

You must not:

• Upload content that infringes copyright, is illegal in your or our jurisdiction, or violates the forum's rules.
• Upload malware, viruses, or content designed to harm others.
• Abuse the service (e.g. excessive automation, circumventing rate limits, or attempting to overload the system).
• Impersonate others or use the service for phishing or fraud.

We may remove content, suspend or ban accounts (forum-linked), or ban IPs at our discretion to enforce these terms or protect the service.

3. Disclaimer

THOTBB Files does not host content on its own servers in a way that makes us the "host" of all data; we use third-party infrastructure. We are not responsible for the content users upload. We do not endorse any user content.

4. DMCA and abuse

We respond to valid DMCA takedown notices and abuse reports. Send notices to dmca@thotbb.pk. Repeat infringers may be banned.

5. Availability and data

We strive to keep the service available but do not guarantee uptime. You are responsible for keeping backups of important files. We may change or discontinue features with reasonable notice where possible.

6. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised when we make material changes.
