Security

When you set up your Skrivr account you ask Skrivr to connect to Dropbox, and Dropbox to send a token to Skrivr on your behalf ("User Token"). User Token's are generated by Dropbox, your User Token is unique to you and kept by Skrivr for as long as you keep your account with us. If you terminate your account with Skrivr, your User Tokens are deleted as well.

In addition to the User Token Skrivr will provide you with a password to you Skrivr account. Your password will be used to login and manage your Skrivr account. The password has nothing to do with the Dropbox connection and is only used when you login at Skrivr. The password is encrypted, we can not access it. The encryption ensures that your password cannot be "reverse-engineered" and consequently we can never provide you with your password if you forget it. In such case you must replace the lost password with a new one.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are responsible for any activity using your account, whether or not you authorized that activity. You should immediately notify Skrivr of any unauthorized use of your account.
