Paste-In privacy

What it keeps, and where.

These are the extension's own words: the same paragraphs, in the same order, that the Paste-In settings screen shows you. Nothing on this page is a shorter version written for a website.

What Paste-In stores

Paste-In keeps your most recent downloads — up to 20 of them — the files you pin, and one image at a time from your clipboard. It keeps each file's name, size and type alongside the copy.

All of it lives in this browser's own storage for Paste-In, on this device. There is no account, no sync and no server of ours.

Nothing about your files, your clipboard or the pages you visit is sent anywhere. The only request Paste-In makes is to download a file again from the same address you just downloaded it from, so it can offer that file back to you.

Paste-In reads your clipboard when the picker opens, so a copied image is ready to use; the switch in settings turns that off, and the button still reads on demand. Either way the copied image stays on this device.

If you allow Paste-In a folder, it lists the files in it and reads one only when you pick it. It never writes to the folder, and the folder itself is never copied or sent. Chrome refuses Downloads and the Desktop: they hold system files.

The small ad beside your files is text that Paste-In draws itself. It loads nothing from the internet and tells nobody it was shown. Clicking it opens 99six.dev in a new tab, and only then.

The copied image is forgotten when you close Chrome. Everything else stays until you remove it: this page can clear your recent files, remove every pin, forget the copied image and give a folder back.

Where to ask

Anything this page does not answer goes to hello@99six.dev, the same address the rest of the site uses.

This page is about the extension on your own machine. What 99six.dev itself does when you read it is a separate question, answered on the site's privacy statement.
