Fair Use Policy
At SaberSync we don’t impose fixed limits to the amount of storage you put on your Vaults. We don’t charge you per GB of storage or for Bandwidth used or for the load that you generate on our systems.
To date, instances of “unfair use” have been very rare ensuring customers continue to enjoy the limitless qualities of our service.
What does this Fair Use Policy mean?
SaberSync is a shared service and we cannot allow the actions of a few users to negatively influence the system performance for the majority. Some types of activities are obviously violations such as the placing of illegal content on to a SaberSync Vault and we retain the right to shut down the Vault for these purposes. However, some other activities can cause network performance issues. These activities are difficult to summarize in a policy but are usually caused by a combination of items such as file types used, applications running, storage capacities, geographic locations, etc. As such, we retain the right to intervene in order to uphold the overall SaberSync high-quality user experience.
When do we invoke the Fair Use Policy?
- SaberSync retains the right to limit or halt service to any user placing dangerous or illegal content on a Vault. E.g., don’t store illegally downloaded music on your SaberSync Vault. Laws that prohibit accommodating this particular use bind SaberSync.
- SaberSync retains the right to limit or halt service to any user imposing excessive load on the SaberSync system so that this will compromise the system performance for the majority. E.g., don’t turn your SaberSync Vault into a popular software-sharing site. It’s just not meant to be used that way.
- SaberSync retains the right to limit or halt service to any user, in the rare event that we are not able to keep up with the overall storage growth.
What happens when we invoke the Fair Use Policy?
SaberSync wishes to keep its customers satisfied, even those who are in violation of the Fair Use Policy, because we acknowledge that this might not be intentional. Therefore, when we invoke the Fair Use Policy, by limiting or halting the service, we will get in touch with the impacted users to find a mutually agreeable solution.

Data Collection Policy
How do we improve our software?
At SaberSync, we strive to continuously improve the quality of our software. In addition to our development process, we also monitor the quality of our products by collecting information about errors and problems. The information helps us to diagnose problems so we can further improve our software and service(s).
How do we collect information?
If a problem occurs in our software program, a report is automatically sent to our server. You are not prompted to review the information that is sent out because no personal information is collected.
What types of information do we collect?
The reporting service collects information about problems that occur behind the scenes while you work with SaberSync. It is important to diagnose errors that occur behind the scenes because these problems, if left unsolved, may cause additional problems such as performance or program failures.
Reports contain information that is most useful for diagnosing and solving the problem that has occurred, such as:
- In what part of the software the problem occurred
- Type of the problem
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is also collected because you are connecting to our servers and to allow you to Theftguard your files.
Reports might unintentionally contain personal information, but this information is not used to identify you.
Who can use the information and how can it be used?
SaberSync uses information about errors and problems to improve the software and services. SaberSync employees may be provided access to information collected by the reporting service. However, they may use the information only to diagnose and repair issues or improve the SaberSync products.
Information storage, processing and release:
Information that we collect may be stored and processed in the United States or Belgium. SaberSync abides to the policy regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. SaberSync may disclose this information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SaberSync; (b) protect or defend the rights or property of SaberSync, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of SaberSync employees, users of SaberSync software or services, or members of the public.
SaberSync occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on its behalf, such as providing customer support, processing transactions. SaberSync will provide these companies only the information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
Security practices:
SaberSync is committed to helping protect the security of the information we collect. The Error Reporting Service uses multiple security technologies and procedures to help protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, reports are sent to SaberSync from your computer using encryption technology. The information is then stored on computer servers with controlled access.
