Privacy and Terms

The PastePoint software ("Service") is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

You are solely responsible for any data you transmit and for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Service operates purely peer‑to‑peer; no files, messages, or session metadata are permanently stored on our servers.

For the complete legal disclaimer, please refer to the DISCLAIMERS.md file in the project repository.

This Privacy Policy explains how we process information when you use PastePoint. Because the Service is designed for direct peer‑to‑peer communication, we intentionally minimize the data we collect and retain.

No content sent through the Service (files, messages, or session codes) is stored on our servers. Once the peer‑to‑peer transfer is complete, the content is no longer accessible to us.

All transfers occur over WebRTC data channels secured by DTLS and SRTP, providing end‑to‑end encryption between the participating devices.

Connection metadata such as IP addresses may transit our signaling server solely to coordinate the WebRTC handshake. This metadata is transient, retained only as long as necessary to establish the connection, and is never used to identify you.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Open‑source, self‑hosted analytics (e.g., Umami) may aggregate anonymized usage statistics to help us improve the Service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the new policy in the application. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

By accessing or using PastePoint you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is intended for lawful, personal or organizational use to share files and messages directly between devices.

PastePoint is open‑sourced under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL‑3.0). See the LICENSE file for details.

You may not use the Service to transmit any content that is unlawful, harmful, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable, nor to violate the rights of others or applicable laws.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the Service operator is established, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
