Privacy Policy — PastePilot
Last updated: August 10, 2025

1) Summary

PastePilot is a browser tool that helps you type and generate text. We keep things local by default. When you use the optional “Generate with AI” feature, your prompt and the generated text are sent to OpenAI’s API over HTTPS. We do not receive or store your content on our servers.

2) What we process

  • Typed/selected content you choose to send to the AI feature.
  • Your OpenAI API key if you enter one. It is stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local or equivalent) and used only to call the OpenAI API from your device.
  • Diagnostic events strictly necessary to run the site (e.g., page loads), but we do not build profiles or sell data.

3) What we do NOT collect

  • We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you deliberately provide it via support contact.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.
  • We do not read or transmit your keystrokes except when you explicitly trigger the AI request.

4) Where data goes

  • OpenAI (api.openai.com) when you use the AI feature. Your prompts and the necessary metadata are transmitted over HTTPS. Their processing is governed by OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy.
  • No other third parties receive your content.

5) Storage & Security

  • API keys and preferences are stored locally on your device using browser storage.
  • Communications with OpenAI are encrypted over HTTPS/TLS.
  • You are responsible for safeguarding your API key on your device.

6) Chrome Web Store “Data Safety”

  • Data collection: We don’t collect or transfer your data to our servers.
  • Data sharing: We don’t share data with third parties beyond sending prompts you request to OpenAI for the AI feature.
  • Data is user-provided and processed for the core functionality you invoke.

7) Children’s Privacy

PastePilot is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

8) Your Choices

  • Use PastePilot without the AI feature. Everything remains local, and no prompts are sent to OpenAI.
  • Delete your locally stored API key at any time in the extension’s options.

9) Changes to this Policy

If we make material changes, we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date.
