As a user, you have certain rights regarding the personal data we hold about you. These rights may include the ability to access, correct, update, or request the deletion of your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the 'Contact Us' section of our website. We are committed to helping your data rights and will respond to your requests in a timely and compliant manner.
WinSCP reserves the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time, and we will post the updated policy on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the WinSCP software and website after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy on this page will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy. This policy was last updated on April 1, 2026.
WinSCP collects minimal personal data, primarily related to the operation and improvement of the software and website. This may include anonymous usage statistics, crash reports, and technical information about your system to help diagnose issues and enhance compatibility. When you interact with our support or community forums, you may voluntarily provide contact information such as your email address. We do not collect personal files or sensitive data transferred using the WinSCP client itself, as all transfers are directly between your computer and the remote server.
The information we collect is primarily used to operate, maintain, and improve the WinSCP software and website. This includes analyzing usage patterns to enhance features, fixing bugs identified through crash reports, and ensuring the security and stability of our services. We may also use your contact information, if provided, to respond to your inquiries, provide technical support, or communicate important updates about WinSCP. Our goal is to provide a reliable and efficient file transfer solution, and data usage is strictly aligned with this objective.
We retain collected data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports are generally retained for a period that allows for effective analysis and software improvement. If you provide personal contact information for support, it will be kept only for the duration required to address your request and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. WinSCP will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. No transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including the security of your data and other personal information.
We prioritize the security of your data and implement various technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, keep in mind: that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, but we are continuously working to enhance our security protocols.
