P2P Networking Policies
Security for both end users and publishers is a top priority for Joltid and is a fundamental part of the PeerEnabler design. Below are answers to common security concerns and clarifications regarding misconceptions about P2P technologies and the P2P Networking component:
- P2P Networking never caches files that the user or installed applications have not explicitly downloaded. It does not push content to users without request.
- It does not distribute illegal content. Responsibility for published content lies with the publisher, and any violation of licensing or legal rules may result in revocation of publishing rights and termination of distribution.
- The component uses only a limited portion of disk space for caching purposes.
- It is designed to operate without disrupting normal bandwidth usage. Users typically do not notice its presence, except for improved download performance.
- P2P Networking does not function as spyware and does not collect or expose personal user data. It only gathers limited, aggregated usage statistics similar to standard web servers.
- The only data collected relates to download activity (such as number of files downloaded), and this information is not linked to personally identifiable details.
- The software is designed with privacy protection in mind and does not include hidden spyware functionality.
Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how Joltid collects, uses, and protects information provided through its software and services.
Service Overview
Joltid Ltd. provides software and manages services that enable high-speed access to content distributed by various partners within the Joltid network. Accessing some content may require separate agreements with those providers. Users may be required to allow limited use of system resources to enable efficient content delivery. Certain data is collected to support and operate the service.
Use of Information
Joltid does not sell, rent, lease, or trade any personal information collected through its software to third parties outside the Joltid network. All information is treated as confidential and is only shared within the network when required and authorized under relevant service agreements.
Types of Information Collected
Users may provide two types of data:
- Active Information: Information voluntarily provided by the user when required for specific services.
- Passive Information: Automatically collected usage data, similar to standard website logs, gathered anonymously.
The software itself does not collect Active Information. Any personal data required by specific services is used strictly to deliver those services and communicate related updates.
Passive Data Collection
Passive data may include:
- Date, time, and duration of software usage
- Amount of data uploaded or downloaded
- Software version and system performance data
- Device details such as IP address, bandwidth, memory, and operating system
This data is aggregated anonymously and used for service optimization and reporting. In some cases, content identifiers (“Certificates”) are tracked to monitor distribution and may be used for billing purposes.
System Information
No unrelated system information is collected. This includes:
- No access to unrelated software
- No tracking of non-service content
- No monitoring of hardware peripherals
Only data necessary for providing the service is processed, and it is not shared externally unless required by agreement.
Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold or shared with third parties unless explicitly required under a service agreement. Any sharing occurs only within the Joltid network and with authorized partners.
Use of Collected Data
Collected data is used to:
- Bill customers (publishers distributing content)
- Provide aggregated download statistics
- Improve performance and configuration of the system
Resource Usage
The software uses system resources such as disk space, bandwidth, and processing power to support content delivery. These resources are shared in a controlled and minimal-impact manner. In some cases, a system may temporarily act as a “supernode,” but this does not affect normal system operation.
Data Protection
Joltid uses industry-standard security measures to protect user data and system resources. Digital certificates ensure only authorized content is shared. Private user data cannot be accessed or distributed through the network. All collected information is stored securely and used in aggregate form only.
Software Installation & Updates
The software may be installed alongside other applications or websites. It functions as networking utility software based on peer-to-peer technology. Users are shown license terms before installation and can uninstall the software at any time via Windows Control Panel.
Updates may be applied with user consent for major changes, while minor configuration updates may occur automatically to improve performance.
Children’s Privacy
The software is not intended for users under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from children.
Data Deletion
Users can request deletion of personal data by contacting delete@joltid.com. Requests are processed within five working days, though some residual data may remain due to backups.
Data Retention
Unless deletion is requested, data may be retained for up to two years, after which it is automatically removed.
Disclaimer
Users are responsible for their own online activity. While efforts are made to protect data, Joltid cannot guarantee absolute security of transmitted information.
