PasteDo

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data PasteDo (“the Software”) and this website collect, and how they’re used. PasteDo is developed by Stefano Licari, an individual based in Italy (“we”, “us”, “our”).

We built PasteDo around a simple principle: your clipboard is yours. Here’s exactly what that means in practice.

1. Data Inside the App

  • Clipboard history is stored locally, in a database file on your own computer. It is never uploaded, synced, or transmitted anywhere by us — we don’t have servers that receive it, because none exist for this purpose.
  • Sensitive content (API keys, credit card numbers, IBANs, and similar) is detected automatically and automatically removed from your history after a short time. This runs entirely on your device.
  • Diagnostic logs, stored locally on your device, never contain clipboard content, snippet text, or API keys — only technical events (timestamps, error types) to help you troubleshoot problems yourself. These logs are never transmitted to us automatically.
  • The AI features (Pro tier, optional): if you choose to use an AI-assisted action, the specific text you’re acting on is sent directly from your device to the third-party AI provider you’ve configured (using your own API key). It does not pass through our servers, because we don’t have any that sit in that path. See that provider’s own privacy policy for how they handle it.
  • We do not collect telemetry, usage analytics, or crash reports from the application, unless a future version explicitly asks your permission first.

2. Data From This Website

  • The mailing list. If you ask to be notified when Pro launches, we collect your email address and nothing else — no name, no company, no record of which emails you open. The purpose is the one printed next to the box you tick: to email you when Pro is released, and to send you the early-bird discount. Nothing else goes to that address.
  • The legal basis for that is your consent, given by ticking a box that is never pre-ticked. We do not add an address that did not ask to be there. You can withdraw your consent at any time from the unsubscribe link at the foot of every email we send — one click, no reason to give, and the address leaves the list.
  • The list is held by Buttondown (Buttondown, LLC, United States), which stores the addresses and sends the emails on our behalf, as our processor. What reaches it is your email address and the date you subscribed. See Buttondown’s own privacy policy for how it operates as a company.
  • This website and the beta download are served by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.) — the pages through Cloudflare Pages, the installer through the same network. Delivering a page or a file means Cloudflare handles the connection itself, including your IP address, the request, and your browser’s user agent, which it processes as our provider for delivery, security, and abuse prevention. We do not receive that as a list of visitors and we build no profiles from it.

3. Payment Data

Purchases are handled entirely by Paddle.com Market Ltd, acting as Merchant of Record. Paddle collects and processes your payment and billing information under its own privacy policy. We receive only confirmation that a purchase was made (and the license details needed to activate it) — never your full card details.

4. Your Rights

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you have rights under GDPR (or equivalent law) including access, correction, deletion, and portability of your personal data. Since almost all PasteDo data lives locally on your own device under your own control, exercising most of these rights is as simple as deleting data yourself within the app. For anything held by us directly (such as your email on our mailing list), contact us and we’ll act on your request.

5. Data Retention

  • Clipboard and application data: stays on your device until you delete it yourself (or, for detected sensitive content, until it auto-expires).
  • Mailing list: kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Unsubscribing removes your address from Buttondown, and we hold no copy of the list anywhere else.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
