Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

1. What data we collect

OnlineCopyPaste does not collect personally identifiable information. We do not require an account, email address, phone number, or name to use the service.

When you create a session, the following temporary data is held in server memory:

  • Your IP address (used for rate limiting and session creation)
  • Session ID, pair code, and expiry time
  • A hashed (SHA-256) copy of the session JWT — never the raw token
  • WebRTC SDP messages during the connection handshake

This data is held in memory only. It is deleted when the session expires (10–60 minutes), when you click "Destroy Session", or when the server restarts. It is never written to a database, log file, or persistent storage.

2. File and content transfers

Files, text, code, images, and links you transfer through the DataChannel are transferred peer-to-peer using WebRTC. The signaling server facilitates the initial connection but does not receive, store, or log transfer content.

3. Cookies and local storage

OnlineCopyPaste uses sessionStorage (cleared when the browser tab closes) to store the active session credentials locally. We do not use tracking cookies or cross-site cookies.

If Google AdSense is configured on this instance, AdSense may place advertising cookies on your browser. You can control these via your browser settings or Google's ad settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

4. Analytics

If Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is configured on this instance, aggregated usage data (page views, session counts) may be collected. IP addresses are anonymized. No personal identifiers are sent to GA4.

5. Data retention

All session data is held in memory and deleted on session expiry or destruction. We have no long-term data store associated with sessions or transfers.

6. Third-party services

We may use the following third-party services: Google AdSense (advertising), Google Analytics 4 (usage analytics), and public STUN servers (WebRTC connection). Each has its own privacy policy.
