Privacy Policy

Before Paste — Effective date: 2026-04-19

What data the extension accesses

When you copy text on a webpage, the extension reads:

The selected text.
The current page's URL and title.
The URL and title of the page you most recently navigated from (within the same tab).

What data the extension stores

Only your preferences (enabled/disabled toggle and denylist domains) are stored, in your local browser storage (chrome.storage.local). This data never leaves your device.

What data the extension transmits

None. The extension makes no network requests. No selected text, no URLs, and no usage data are ever sent to any server.

Third parties

The extension has no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or any other third-party integrations.

Permissions used

storage — save your denylist and enabled flag locally.
tabs / webNavigation — read the current tab's URL and title, and track navigation history within the tab, so the clipboard enrichment can include "Previously visited:" context.
host_permissions (<all_urls>) — inject the copy listener on any webpage the user visits.
