This is an extract from an archived copy, fetched 30 August 2026. MEGA didn't author this page for us. It's a snapshot we captured from https://mega.io/privacy. We hold the whole page and publish this part of it: the sentence a verdict rests on, with the text either side, so you can see it hasn't been lifted out of an exception.

The entry cited this capture from 30 August 2026 until 7 September 2026, when the document was re-read; it now cites the capture of 7 September 2026. This page stays so that anything that linked it still works.

The passage, in context

Paragraph 9 of 86

This Policy governs the processing of your personal data as data controller. The terms " Personal data ", " processing " and any other relevant terms are used as defined in the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"). Processing includes collection, storage, and all of the ways we use, and allow you to use, personal data when we provide our services.

Important: We store Personal Data in our primary data centres in Japan, Canada and/or the European Union. In order to provide our services, Personal Data may transit or be temporarily stored on servers in other countries, the full details of which can be found on our website . In this Policy, 'Personal Data' refers to Account Data and Usage Data, together, as those terms are defined below.

None of your Personal Data is stored in, or made available from, the United States of America. We do not collect or store any data that is not mentioned in the present Policy. We will never sell your Personal Data to a third party.

This Policy does not deal with Your Files (the actual encrypted files that you upload, access and share using our services) or Your Chats (the encrypted text, voice and video chats you engage in using our services) because they are not personal data: we cannot decrypt Your Files and Chats thus they are not information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

The GDPR provides rights to European users, but, as a leading privacy company, to the extent possible, we aim to make the GDPR protections and rights available to all our users globally in respect of their Personal Data wherever they may live.

Account Data

When you sign up for particular services you will need to give us the details required in our registration form and must keep that information up to date, including any payment information.

Checking the rest of it

The complete page is kept here and isn't republished. It's MEGA's copyrighted document, and an extract is what a reader needs to check a quotation. The SHA-256 above is of that whole snapshot: fetch the page yourself, hash it, and you can tell whether ours has been altered without having to trust us.

If you work for MEGA, or you are researching this and need the full capture, ask us for it and we will send it. If you believe a quote here is wrong or out of date, send us the paragraph. The correction gets published beside the clause.
