PasteTiles saves only the reusable text you deliberately add. Your working library is local first. If you voluntarily create an account and use PasteTiles Sync, your email, authentication data, settings, and saved tiles are securely transmitted to and stored on MTC Core servers so they can be available on your other devices.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how PasteTiles MTC ("PasteTiles," "we," "our") handles information through the Chrome extension, optional PasteTiles Sync service, and this product website.
2. Information PasteTiles handles
Local extension data
PasteTiles stores the saved text, titles, categories, formatting, pin settings, display settings, and local usage ranking that you choose to create or generate while using the extension. This data is held in Chrome local extension storage on your device.
Optional account and sync data
If you create a PasteTiles account, we process your email address, password during secure transmission, hashed password, email-verification and password-reset records, authentication tokens, device identifiers, synchronization metadata, settings, and the saved tile content you choose to sync. Cloud tile content is limited to 10 MB per account.
Website interaction
This website does not use advertising trackers or analytics scripts. Standard hosting security logs may temporarily include technical information such as IP address, request time, requested page, user agent, and error information for security, reliability, and abuse prevention.
3. What PasteTiles does not collect
- PasteTiles does not automatically save everything you copy or type.
- PasteTiles does not collect or maintain your browsing history.
- PasteTiles does not upload the webpages where you open the visual board.
- PasteTiles does not automatically send messages or forms on your behalf.
- PasteTiles does not sell user data or use it for personalized advertising, creditworthiness, or lending.
4. How information is used
Information is used only to provide, maintain, secure, and support PasteTiles' single purpose: letting you organize and insert reusable text. This includes local storage and retrieval, optional account access and device synchronization, backup and restore, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and account security.
5. Permissions
- storage: stores your library, preferences, account session, and sync state locally.
- activeTab and scripting: after you invoke PasteTiles, inject the packaged visual board and insert your selected text into the focused supported field on that tab.
- contextMenus: offers pinned saved text in Chrome's right-click menu.
- clipboardWrite: copies selected saved text when direct insertion is unavailable or when you choose Copy.
- alarms: schedules optional background synchronization while you are signed in.
- Host access to mtccore.com/api/pastetiles: communicates only with the PasteTiles account and sync API over HTTPS.
6. Sharing and human access
We do not sell or share user data with advertisers or data brokers. Service providers may process limited information only when necessary to operate infrastructure and email delivery, subject to appropriate safeguards. Humans are not permitted to read synced saved-text content except with your explicit consent for support, when necessary for security or abuse investigation, when required by law, or when data is aggregated and anonymized for permitted internal operations.
7. Security
PasteTiles uses HTTPS for server communication. Passwords are stored as one-way password hashes; session and one-time tokens are stored as cryptographic hashes on the server. You should not save passwords, financial credentials, or highly sensitive secrets as reusable tiles.
8. Retention and deletion
Local extension data remains on your device until you delete it, clear the extension's storage, or uninstall the extension. Optional account and cloud data remains while your account is active. You can delete the account and associated active cloud data from the PasteTiles Sync settings. You can also contact support for a privacy request.
9. Excel backups
Excel backup files are created locally and contain your saved tile content. You choose where to store and share them; MTC Core does not automatically receive those files.
10. Children
PasteTiles is a general productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13. Do not create an account if you cannot lawfully consent to the processing described here.
11. Chrome Web Store Limited Use
PasteTiles' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. User data is used only as necessary to provide or improve PasteTiles' disclosed single purpose and related security and reliability operations.
12. Changes
If our data practices materially change, we will update this policy and provide an appropriate in-product disclosure before the changed practice applies where required.
