Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

PasteCollage ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website pastecollage.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

No personal accounts. PasteCollage does not require registration or a user account. We do not collect names, email addresses, or passwords.

Images. All image processing happens locally in your browser. Images you paste, upload, or drag onto the canvas are never sent to our servers.

Usage data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This may include your approximate location (country/city), browser type, device type, pages visited, and session duration. This data is aggregated and not linked to your identity.

Advertising. We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your interests and browsing history across other websites.

2. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns.
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before non-essential cookies are set. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To understand how people use PasteCollage and improve the service.
• To display advertisements that help fund the free service.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
• Google AdSense — policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt out of Google's personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads or via the YourAdChoices opt-out tool.

5. Your Rights (EEA / UK / Switzerland)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent laws, including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction or deletion of your data.
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time.

Because we collect minimal data and rely primarily on Google's infrastructure, most of these rights are best exercised directly with Google via their privacy controls.

6. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained by Google for the period configured in our Google Analytics account (typically 26 months). We do not store any image data on our servers.

7. Children's Privacy

PasteCollage is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of PasteCollage after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
