Acceptable use policy

Use Boita to move and store your own work with people you have a reason to share it with. Do not use it to distribute malware, infringing material or spam, or to attack anyone, including us.

Why this exists

File-sharing services are abused for phishing, malware and piracy, which harms the people who receive links and gets legitimate links blocked. This policy protects your recipients, your reputation and ours. It applies to workspace members, share-link recipients and portal uploaders.

You may not use Boita to

Store or distribute malware, phishing kits, credential-harvesting pages or anything designed to harm a device or deceive a person.
Store or share content that infringes copyright, trade marks or other rights, including unreleased material you are not authorised to distribute.
Store or share unlawful content, including child sexual abuse material, content that incites violence, or content prohibited under Indian law.
Send unsolicited bulk links, or use share emails and portal notifications to spam or harass anyone.
Probe, scan, overload or attempt to bypass the security of Boita, the transfer server, other workspaces or share pages, including path traversal, token reuse or automated scraping.
Resell bandwidth or storage, run a public file-hosting or download-mirror service, or otherwise use a plan far beyond its fair-use allowance in a way not intended by the plan.
Impersonate another person or organisation on share pages, portals or in emails sent through Boita.
Upload personal data you do not have a lawful basis to process.

Fair use

Plans are flat and carry no per-GB fees, but lower plans have a monthly transfer allowance. If a workspace is consistently far above it we will contact you about the right plan before anything is limited. Free workspaces have limits on public links while the account is new.

Reporting and enforcement

Report abuse of a Boita link or portal to security@boita.io with the link and what you saw; we aim to review within 24 hours. Copyright owners may send takedown notices to the same address with the material identified and a statement of ownership. We may disable a link, a file or a workspace while we review, warn or suspend the account concerned, and report unlawful content to the authorities where the law requires. Decisions can be appealed by writing to hello@boita.io.

Security research

We welcome good-faith security research on our own systems within a responsible-disclosure policy published before launch. Do not test against other customers’ workspaces or data. Report findings to security@boita.io.
