**Privacy Policy – PasteMate Chrome Extension**

PasteMate is a Chrome extension that helps users manage and access their recent clipboard history. We take privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data.

**1. Data Collection**
PasteMate does NOT collect or transmit any personal or sensitive user data to any server. All clipboard data is stored locally in your browser’s storage and never leaves your device.

**2. Permissions**
PasteMate requests the following permissions:
- `clipboardRead` and `clipboardWrite`: Used to manage your copied text.
- `storage`: Used to store your clipboard history and pinned items locally.
- `activeTab`, `tabs`: Used only when the extension is manually triggered.
- `content_scripts`: To detect copy actions on the active page.

These permissions are used solely for functionality and never for data collection or tracking.

**3. Data Sharing**
We do not share or sell any user data. We do not use third-party analytics.

**4. Donations**
If you choose to support us via donation, we may use third-party payment providers (e.g., BuyMeACoffee or UPI). These platforms have their own privacy policies.

**5. Contact**
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at: your@email.com

**6. Changes**
We may update this privacy policy. Changes will be posted at the same URL.
