Privacy Policy - SafePaste AI

Last updated: November 19, 2024

Privacy First: SafePaste AI is built on a foundation of privacy. All text anonymization happens locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your data.

Overview

SafePaste AI ("we", "our", "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This extension processes all data locally on your device and does not transmit any personal information or anonymized content to external servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we don't collect:

Your input text (the content you want to anonymize)
Your anonymized output text
Browsing history or activity
Personal information of any kind
Usage analytics or statistics
IP addresses or device identifiers
Location data

Information We DO Collect

The only data stored locally on your device includes:

User preferences: Your settings for features like name detection (stored in Chrome's local storage)
Pro status: If you've purchased Pro, this is stored locally (stored in Chrome's sync storage)

Why This Data is Stored

This minimal data is stored solely to improve your user experience:

Remember your preferences across sessions
Enable Pro features if you've upgraded

How the Extension Works

SafePaste AI operates entirely on your device:

You paste text into the extension
Our local algorithm detects sensitive information
The text is anonymized locally
You copy the safe text

At no point does your data leave your device or get sent to our servers.

Third-Party Services

Payment Processing (Pro Version Only)

If you choose to upgrade to Pro, payment is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you make a payment:

Stripe collects your payment information directly
We do not store credit card numbers or payment details
We only receive confirmation that payment was successful
Your email may be shared with us for support purposes

Stripe's privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy

Chrome Web Store

The extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store. Google may collect basic analytics about extension installations and usage as outlined in their privacy policy.

Permissions Explained

SafePaste AI requests minimal permissions:

Storage Permission

Why we need it: To save your preferences (like name detection settings) and Pro status locally on your device.

What we DON'T do: We do not access your browsing history, passwords, or any other Chrome data.

Data Security

Because all processing happens locally:

Your sensitive data never leaves your computer
There's no risk of data breaches from our servers (we don't have any storing your data)
Your privacy is protected by design, not just by policy

Children's Privacy

SafePaste AI is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our extension, please contact us.

Your Rights

Under data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have rights regarding your data:

Access: Since we don't collect your data, there's nothing to access
Deletion: You can delete the extension at any time to remove all local data
Portability: Your settings are stored locally in Chrome's storage
Objection: You can disable any features you don't want to use

International Users

SafePaste AI can be used anywhere in the world. Since all processing is local, there are no international data transfers to worry about.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by:

Updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
Posting a notice in the extension for significant changes

Your continued use of SafePaste AI after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Compliance

SafePaste AI is designed to comply with:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
Other privacy laws worldwide

Our Commitment: Unlike AI tools that may train on your data, SafePaste AI will never use your information for any purpose other than providing you with the anonymization service.
