It’s important to note that all uploaded files are typically publicly accessible unless specific privacy settings are applied. Users should exercise caution when uploading media files containing sensitive or personal information.

Furthermore, users should be mindful of the content they upload. The content of the media file may include images of documents, animals, humans, or any other subject matter. Users should be aware that the content may include identifiable information, such as faces or personal belongings.

Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the content they upload is appropriate and does not violate any laws or regulations. While we endeavor to maintain the security of user-provided media and data and do not retain it for the long term, users should exercise caution when uploading sensitive or personal information.

By adhering to these guidelines, users can contribute to the preservation of privacy and security regarding their uploaded media files.
