Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 24, 2025

Welcome to CopyPasteFree.ca (the "Service"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of our Service.

Information We Do Not Collect

We are committed to ensuring your privacy and anonymity when using CopyPasteFree.ca.

Our core service of sharing text and files is designed to be temporary and secure, with end-to-end encryption.

We do not track, store, or collect any personal information that you share through our copy and paste functionality.

Sessions are temporary, and data is deleted after the session ends.

Specifically, we do not require you to create an account, sign up, or provide any personal details to use our primary features.

Information We Collect

We utilize Google Analytics to understand and improve our Service. This involves two types of data collection, each with distinct consent considerations:

  • Essential App Usage Data. We collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about how our core application features are used (e.g., session starts, content shares, file uploads/downloads). This data is vital for ensuring the Service's performance, stability, and ongoing development. This collection is considered essential for the operation of the Service and is always active.
    •  
  • Advertising and Behavioural Data. If you provide your consent, we also collect additional anonymous data through Google Analytics for advertising measurement, personalization, and behavioral modeling purposes. This helps us understand user demographics, interests, and to run more relevant advertising campaigns.
 

The information collected by Google Analytics is anonymous statistical data and does not identify you personally. We do not combine Google Analytics data with any personally identifiable information.

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
