Privacy Policy
When you use PasteProof's extension, you're trusting us to handle your data with care. We take that trust seriously.
When This Policy Applies
We, PasteProof, Inc., provide this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, and disclose your personal data when you interact with us as an individual, such as when you create an account and use our browser extension. It also applies when you browse our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise interact with us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, in which case we will provide you with notice of material updates or seek your consent to the updates as may be required by applicable laws.
Summary
While we hope you read this entire Privacy Policy, here is a brief overview:
- We make money when users purchase our Premium subscription ($7/month), not by selling or monetizing your data.
- When you sign up for and use our extension, we process your account information and payment information through secure payment processors.
- For Free tier users, all scanning happens locally in your browser using regex patterns. Your clipboard data never leaves your device.
- For Premium users who opt-in to AI detection, clipboard content is sent securely to our API for advanced scanning, then immediately deleted.
- We have stringent security mechanisms in place to protect your data and maintain your privacy.
How Does PasteProof Make Money?
We offer free and paid subscriptions, and we make money from Premium subscriptions. PasteProof does not monetize data or use the content you scan with our extension for advertising purposes. We will never sell your clipboard data to third parties.
What Types of Personal Data Does PasteProof Collect?
Account Information
When you sign up for an account, we collect your email address, password, and name. If you sign up through Google or Apple, we'll collect the information from them that you authorize.
Payment Information
If you subscribe to Premium, we collect payment transaction history and limited payment card information through Stripe. Your full payment details are handled by Stripe, not us.
Clipboard Content (Premium Users Only)
If you're a Premium user and opt-in to AI-powered detection, we temporarily process your clipboard content to provide advanced scanning. This content is immediately deleted after processing and is never stored or used for training.
Usage Data
We collect information about how you use our extension, such as detection counts and feature usage, to improve our product and provide you with insights.
Custom Patterns
If you create custom regex patterns, we store these patterns in our database to provide them to your extension.
Trusted Domains
We store the list of trusted domains you configure where scanning is disabled.
For What Purposes Does PasteProof Use Personal Data?
- Providing our service: To detect sensitive information and protect you from accidental data exposure

How Does PasteProof Secure and Store Personal Data?
We use industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure network configuration, and restricted employee access. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
For Free tier users: All scanning happens locally in your browser. No clipboard content ever reaches our servers.
For Premium users with AI detection enabled: Clipboard content is sent over encrypted connections to our secure API, processed immediately, and deleted. We do not store or log clipboard content.

- Service providers: We use trusted providers like Supabase, Stripe, and cloud hosting services that are bound by strict data protection agreements
