Our Legal, Trust and Security teams have carefully scrutinised the GDPR and taken all necessary steps to identify changes that needed to be made. Organisations established in the EU and processing personal data of EU-based individuals have been required to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data hosting based in Europe is available for Dropbox Business customers with 15+ seats. European data requirementsĭropbox is certified under the EU-U.S. Those principles include being transparent, fighting overly broad requests, providing trusted services and protecting all of our users, no matter where they are. We publish a transparency report to share how often we receive government data requests, as well as our government data request principles, which guide our responses to those requests. Our privacy policy clearly describes when we collect your information and the steps we take to protect it. You own your data and, whether it’s your personal or work information, we’re committed to keeping it private. In addition, we use OAuth, an industry-standard protocol for authorisation, to allow users to grant apps different levels of account access without exposing their account credentials. Third-party accessĭropbox has terms and guidelines for third-party developers to create apps that connect to Dropbox whilst respecting user privacy and account security. Potential security bugs and vulnerabilities can be reported to us on the third-party service HackerOne. We also work with third-party specialists, industry security teams and the security research community to keep our users and their files safe. We test our infrastructure and apps regularly to identify and patch vulnerabilities. Dropbox Business users have 180 days to recover deleted files. Extended version history is available as a Dropbox Plus subscription add-on.

Learn more File recovery and version historyĭropbox saves a history of all deleted and previous versions of files, and allows you to restore them for up to 30 days. Only blocks that have been modified are synced. Each file is split into discrete blocks, which are encrypted using a strong cipher. Dropbox protects files in transit between our apps and our servers, and at rest.
