Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 9, 2025
Paste Keyboard ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
In short: We never see, collect, or transmit the text you type or the snippets you create. Everything stays on your device.
1. Data We Collect
Analytics Events (Firebase Analytics)
We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data to improve the app experience. This includes:
- Screen views (e.g., which screens are opened)
- Purchase events (e.g., when a subscription is started or restored)
- Snippet count events (e.g., how many snippets a user has created — never the content)
- App launch and session duration
These events contain no personally identifiable information and cannot be traced back to individual users.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Keyboard input: We never record, monitor, or transmit anything you type using Paste Keyboard.
- Snippet content: The text you save as snippets is stored only on your device. We never access, read, or upload it.
- Personal information: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal data.
- Contacts, photos, or location: The app does not request or access any of these.
2. Data Stored on Your Device
The following data is stored locally on your device (in the app's shared container) and is never transmitted to any server:
- Snippets and their content
- Folders and organization data
- App settings and preferences
- Premium/purchase status
This data stays entirely on your device and is accessible only to the Paste Keyboard app and its keyboard extension.
3. Full Access Explanation
iOS requires third-party keyboards to request "Full Access" to enable certain features. Paste Keyboard uses Full Access solely to allow the keyboard extension to read your saved snippets from the app's shared data container. This is a technical requirement by Apple — without Full Access, the keyboard extension cannot access the shared container where your snippets are stored.
Full Access does NOT mean we can see what you type. We do not use this permission to monitor, record, or send any keystrokes or typed content.
4. Third-Party Services
- Firebase Analytics (Google): Used for anonymous usage analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Apple In-App Purchases: Subscription and purchase processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive or store payment information. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
5. Children's Privacy
Paste Keyboard is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect personal information from any user, there is no special risk to children using the app.
6. Data Deletion
Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time by:
- Deleting individual snippets or folders within the app
- Uninstalling the app, which removes all associated data from your device
Firebase Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous, so there is no personal data to request deletion of.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
