Privacy Policy

Effective March 20, 2026

The short version

PasteDrop collects as little data as possible. No accounts, no tracking pixels. We use minimal functional cookies (password unlock, internal analytics opt-out) but no tracking cookies. We don't sell your data to anyone.

What you paste

Content you drop is stored encrypted-at-rest in a Neon Postgres database. Every drop is automatically deleted after 24 hours. We don't read, index, or analyze your content.

IP addresses

Your IP address is hashed with SHA-256 and a fixed salt, then used for rate limiting and associating drops with their creator (for features like "your other drops"). We never store your IP in plaintext.

No accounts, minimal cookies

PasteDrop doesn't require sign-up. We use minimal functional cookies (password-protected drop unlock, internal analytics opt-out) but no tracking cookies, no local storage for tracking, and no browser fingerprinting.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics, which is privacy-friendly and collects no personally identifiable information. No third-party trackers, no ad networks, no retargeting.

Third parties

We do not sell, share, or provide your data to third parties. Our infrastructure runs on Vercel and Neon, both of which process data under their own privacy policies.

Abuse & contact

To report abuse or ask a privacy question, email abuse@pastedrop.ai.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. That's it.
