Effective as of October 19, 2025
Terms of Service
Welcome to PasteProof! These terms of service govern your use of our browser extension and services.
Our Mission and Business Model
Our mission is to protect users from accidentally exposing sensitive information when using AI tools and web applications.
We offer free and paid subscriptions and hope you'll purchase our Premium tier. PasteProof does not monetize data or use the content you scan with our extension for advertising purposes.
Who We Are
PasteProof is provided by PasteProof, Inc. For more information, please visit our website at pasteproof.com.
Paid Accounts
Billing
When you upgrade to Premium ($7/month or $70/year), we'll automatically bill you from the date you convert and on each renewal until cancellation. You are responsible for all applicable taxes.
Refunds
You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time through your dashboard. Refunds are issued if required by law.
Downgrades
Your paid account will remain in effect until canceled or terminated. If you don't pay on time, we reserve the right to suspend it or downgrade you to the free version.
Changes
We may change subscription fees but will give you advance notice before changes take effect.
Your Data and the Limited Permissions You Give Us
You own your data. PasteProof doesn't own your clipboard content, custom patterns, or any other data you provide.
To provide our service, you grant us a limited license to:
- Process clipboard content to detect sensitive information (Premium users only, if AI detection is enabled)
- Store your custom regex patterns and trusted domains
- Analyze usage data to improve our extension
- Provide you with detection statistics and insights
This license is only for the above purposes. We will not sell or license your data to third-party data brokers.
For Free tier users: All scanning happens locally in your browser. Your clipboard content never reaches our servers.
Our Intellectual Property Rights
Our extension and services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our extension solely for its intended purpose.
We welcome feedback, but you agree that we can use that feedback without restriction or any obligation to you.
Your Use of AI Detection (Premium Only)
AI-Powered Detection
Premium users can opt-in to AI-powered detection. When enabled, clipboard content is sent to our secure API for advanced analysis. You are responsible for the content you scan and must not use this feature to process content that infringes on others' rights.
No Guarantees
While our AI detection is advanced, we do not guarantee 100% accuracy. You should review all detections and not rely solely on our extension for compliance purposes.
Usage Restrictions
You may not use our AI features to develop competing products or in ways that violate our Acceptable Use Policy.
Limitations on Use and Responsibilities
Acceptable Use
You must not use PasteProof to:
- Violate any laws or regulations
- Infringe on others' intellectual property rights
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or hack our extension
- Abuse, harass, or harm others
- Distribute malware or engage in fraudulent activity
Account Security
You are responsible for safeguarding your password and account. Don't share your credentials with others.
Minimum Age
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU) to use PasteProof.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if:
- You breach these terms or our Acceptable Use Policy
- You use our extension in a manner that causes harm to us or other users
- You don't have a paid account and haven't used our extension for 12 consecutive months
We'll provide reasonable advance notice before termination unless doing so would cause legal liability or harm.
Warranty Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PASTEPROOF IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT OUR EXTENSION WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUR AI DETECTION WILL CATCH ALL SENSITIVE INFORMATION. YOU USE PASTEPROOF AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL PASTEPROOF BE LIABLE FOR:
- Any amount exceeding the fees you paid us in the past 12 months
- Any lost data, lost profits, or failure to detect sensitive information
- Any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages
Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.
Resolving Disputes
Before filing a claim, please contact us at pasteproof@gmail.com to try to resolve the dispute informally.
Any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California (unless you live in a jurisdiction with laws requiring local resolution).
For U.S. residents: You agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration, not class actions.
Controlling Law
These terms are governed by California law, except where mandatory local laws apply (such as in the EU).
Modifications to These Terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes in law, regulations, or our services. If an update significantly affects your rights, we'll notify you at least 30 days before it takes effect.
If you don't agree to the updates, you must cancel your account before they become effective. By continuing to use PasteProof after updates take effect, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
