Work with us
Partnerships, sponsorships and integrations
LanCopy aims to make direct file sharing easier wherever people work across different devices. We are open to suitable collaborations with projects, companies, educational organizations, communities and infrastructure partners. Whether the idea involves joint development, sponsorship or an integration into an existing service, we can discuss the goals and constraints together and shape an approach around the actual use case.
How we get startedFinding the right way to work together
For us, a useful partnership starts with the real need rather than a ready-made package. We first want to understand who should use LanCopy, which devices need to exchange data and what technical or organizational environment surrounds that workflow. Usability, privacy, security, accessibility and operational requirements are equally relevant.
From there, we can develop an appropriate direction together. It might be a focused pilot, a content partnership, a technical adaptation, a dedicated deployment or longer-term support for a defined development goal. Scope, responsibilities and success criteria should be agreed transparently for each project rather than implied by a generic partnership label.
Projects, organizations and networks
LanCopy may be useful wherever people frequently move files between phones, tablets and computers without creating accounts or permanent cloud storage. Potential contexts include education, events, workshops, creative teams, aid organizations, local communities and editorial workflows. Every environment also brings its own network policies and device restrictions.
Collaboration can therefore begin with product trials, structured feedback, translation, documentation, accessibility work or a carefully defined use case. Editorial partnerships and exchanges with projects working on open web technology are also welcome, provided that claims about functionality, security and reach remain verifiable and honest.
Sponsors and supporters
Support can take many forms: hosting and test infrastructure, broader browser and device coverage, security reviews, translation, design, accessibility or funding for clearly defined development work. Expert feedback and access to realistic testing environments can sometimes be more valuable than purely financial support.
Sponsorship should improve LanCopy’s quality and availability; it must not create access to transferred data. Contributions and any agreed recognition need to be described transparently. Hidden tracking, opaque advertising profiles or pressure to weaken security explanations do not fit the project. Names, logos or endorsements will only be published with explicit permission.
Third-party integrations
Platforms and service providers may benefit from different forms of integration. Possibilities worth evaluating include a clearly labelled link to LanCopy, a QR or invitation flow within onboarding, a dedicated deployment for a defined audience, or the joint design of a future technical interface. The right approach depends on supported browsers, networks, security needs and the intended user journey.
The current public version is not a ready-made API, SDK, iframe component or white-label product. Its security policy deliberately prevents arbitrary framing by other websites. We can still assess requirements and technical feasibility together and develop a robust plan instead of promising an integration that may fail under real network or browser conditions.
Principles for every collaboration
LanCopy’s core should remain easy to understand in any collaboration: few steps, transparent technology and no file storage on the signaling server. File contents, filenames and chat messages receive end-to-end encryption in the participating browsers. A partnership does not change that protection model or give sponsors and partners privileged access to transfers.
New features should serve the actual workflow and must not quietly introduce trackers, dependencies or new data flows. If a specific integration requires additional servers, protocols or personal data, its purpose, retention, responsibilities and risks must be discussed first. This keeps technical implementation aligned with public promises.
How we get started
A useful first conversation needs only a few concrete details: who is behind the project, which audience it serves, which devices and networks are involved, what the desired workflow looks like and what timeframe matters. Technical, organizational and legal constraints are helpful too. Together, these details can define sensible next steps, a small pilot and realistic evaluation criteria.
We welcome enquiries, unusual ideas and new forms of collaboration, and we are happy to discuss tailored strategies and integration options. A permanent public project contact is currently being set up. Until it is verified, we deliberately avoid publishing a temporary address or adding a form that would store contact details without an established purpose and retention policy.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who can work with LanCopy?
We welcome concrete proposals from projects, organizations, companies, educational institutions, communities and technical or infrastructure supporters. The size of an organization matters less than a clear use case and an approach that fits the project’s technical and privacy principles.
What kinds of integration are possible?
That depends on the intended workflow, browsers, network and required security level. Links, QR or invitation flows, dedicated deployments and future technical interfaces can be evaluated, but functionality and timelines should not be promised before that assessment.
Is there a ready-made API, SDK or white-label product?
There is currently no public turnkey API, finished SDK or general white-label product. If a project needs such an interface, requirements, operation, security, maintenance and commercial terms can be assessed individually.
Can partners or sponsors access transferred data?
No. Partnership and sponsorship do not change the end-to-end model. File and chat content should remain decryptable only in the participating browsers. Any additional processing for a specific project would require separate justification, documentation and agreement.
Interested in working together?
Outline your project, audience and preferred form of collaboration. We can then assess together which strategy or integration is useful and realistic.
