Smart Paste Privacy Policy

Effective October 17, 2026

In short: Smart Paste works entirely inside your browser. It never sends what you paste or type anywhere, has no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no ads, and never sells or shares data.

What Smart Paste does with your data

Smart Paste adjusts text that you paste or type into fields on web pages so it fits what the field expects. To do that, it handles the following on your device only:

• Text you paste into a field, including text that may contain email addresses, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs or verification codes. It is cleaned up in memory at the moment you paste and then inserted into the field. It is not stored or transmitted.
• Keystrokes in fields where you created a rule (for example "digits only"). Each keystroke is checked against your rule and allowed, changed or blocked. Keystrokes are not recorded.
• Field values of fields with a rule, which may be tidied when you leave the field.

Smart Paste never reads or changes password fields.

What Smart Paste stores

• Your settings, such as which cleanup rules are on.
• Per-site preferences and field rules: the site's name (for example example.com), a technical reference to the field (a CSS selector), the field's label, and the rule you chose.
• A count of cleaned pastes, shown in the toolbar popup. It is only a number.

Settings and rules are saved with Chrome's storage. If you have Chrome sync turned on, Chrome syncs them across your own devices through your Google account, under Google's privacy policy. The developer of Smart Paste has no access to them. The paste count stays on your device.

What Smart Paste does not do

• It makes no network requests and has no servers.
• It does not use analytics, tracking or advertising.
• It does not sell, transfer or share any data with anyone.
• It does not use data for any purpose other than adjusting the text you paste or type.
• It does not use data to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Permissions

• Access to all websites: needed so pastes can be cleaned on any site you use.
• Storage: saves your settings and field rules.
• Context menus: adds "Smart Paste rule for this field…" to the right-click menu.
• Scripting: activates Smart Paste in tabs that were already open when you installed it.

Deleting your data

In Smart Paste's settings you can forget any site, or reset everything to the defaults. Uninstalling Smart Paste removes all of its stored data.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published here with a new effective date.
