Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Introduction

HandyPaste respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the HandyPaste website and how that information is handled.

HandyPaste is designed primarily as a browser-based temporary workspace for entering, editing, organizing, and copying text.

2. Information You Enter

Text that you type or paste into HandyPaste is intended to be handled within your browser.

Your notes may be stored locally in your browser using browser storage technologies such as localStorage. This allows your notes to remain available when you refresh the page or return to the website, depending on your browser and device.

We do not use a server-side database to store the notes created in the HandyPaste workspace.

3. Local Browser Storage

Information stored locally by HandyPaste remains on your device and is controlled by your browser.

Local data may be removed if you use the website's Clear All function, clear the website's browser data, use private or incognito browsing, change browser settings, uninstall or reset your browser, or if the browser removes stored data for another reason.

Because local browser storage is controlled by your browser and device, we cannot guarantee that locally stored notes will always remain available.

4. Information We May Automatically Receive

When you visit a website, your browser may automatically provide certain technical information to the website or its hosting infrastructure. This may include information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, and basic request information.

Such information may be processed by our hosting provider or other infrastructure providers as necessary to deliver, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the website.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

HandyPaste may use cookies or similar technologies when required for website functionality, security, analytics, advertising, or other services.

If third-party analytics or advertising services are used, those services may place or access their own cookies or similar technologies and may process information according to their own privacy policies.

6. Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website, identify technical problems, and improve HandyPaste.

Analytics services may collect technical or usage information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device information, browser information, and interactions with the website.

We do not intentionally send the actual text of your HandyPaste notes to analytics services.

7. Advertising

HandyPaste may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks.

Advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, and improve advertisements and may use information about visits to this and other websites in accordance with their own policies.

The advertising practices of third-party providers are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

8. Sensitive Information

HandyPaste is not designed for storing passwords, payment information, private keys, authentication codes, financial information, health information, confidential business information, or other highly sensitive information.

You should avoid entering sensitive information into HandyPaste unless you understand and accept the risks associated with storing information in your browser.

9. Information You Provide to Us

If you contact us through email or another communication method, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

We use this information only as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, provide support, address technical issues, or otherwise communicate with you.

10. How We Use Information

Information may be used for purposes including:

• providing and operating HandyPaste;
• maintaining the security and reliability of the website;
• diagnosing and fixing technical problems;
• understanding website usage and improving the service;
• responding to communications and support requests;
• displaying and measuring advertising, where applicable; and
• complying with applicable legal obligations.

11. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your HandyPaste notes.

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, such as hosting, analytics, security, email, advertising, or technical service providers.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the website, its users, or others.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information associated with the website.

However, no website, internet connection, browser, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for protecting access to your device, browser, and any information stored locally on your device.

13. Children's Privacy

HandyPaste is not specifically directed toward children. We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children through the service.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including rights to access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, or other applicable rights.

If you believe we hold personal information about you and would like to make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the contact information provided on the website.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

HandyPaste may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites and services.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

16. Data Retention

Notes stored by HandyPaste in your browser are retained according to your browser's local storage behavior until they are removed by you, by the website's available controls, or by your browser or device.

Information received through support communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the request, maintain records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to HandyPaste, the services we use, applicable laws, or our privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be changed.
