PaperLink

PaperLink browser extension privacy policy, in brief

Version 3 · Effective 22 October 2026

This policy covers the PaperLink browser extension, and what PaperLink's servers record when you use it. When it changes, its version goes up, and the extension asks you to agree again before your next sign-in.

This is a summary. The full privacy policy gives every detail, at the same version. You need to sign in to PaperLink to read it.

What the extension keeps

• Your Session Credentials, the proxy username and password of your Extension Session, with your Username and your Organization's name, in the browser's memory only. They're never saved to disk, and they're gone when the browser closes.
• Its settings, and the version of this policy you agreed to, saved in your browser.
• A diagnostics record, in the browser's memory. It reaches PaperLink only if you copy it and send it to support yourself.

What PaperLink records

• The sites you visit while your browser is Connected, and for a page loaded over plain HTTP rather than HTTPS its full address, when you visit them, your IP address and your Username. PaperLink keeps this for 365 days.
• Each time the proxy refuses you a sign-in or a site: when, your Username, your IP address or the site, and why. PaperLink keeps this for 365 days.
• Each Extension Session, the grant that lets one browser use the proxy: when it started and ended, the extension's version, the browser, and the IP addresses of its sign-in and its latest status check or Disconnect. PaperLink deletes it 30 days after it ends. Its audit log keeps the same details of its sign-in, its end and any revocation, except that latest call, with no set retention period.
• Error reports, when one of PaperLink's servers fails, with passwords and other secrets removed.

The content of the pages you visit only passes through PaperLink. HTTPS traffic stays encrypted, and PaperLink doesn't inspect it.

How it's used

Only to run, secure and support PaperLink. PaperLink Admins, the papernest staff who run PaperLink, and papernest's security team see it. It's never sold, and never given to your Organization.

Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
