1. About Paperuna
Paperuna is an online document utility service. This policy explains what information may be processed when you use the website and your privacy choices. The operator responsible for Paperuna should add its legal name, business address and privacy contact details here before public launch.
2. Documents you process
Paperuna prefers browser-side processing. For tools described as working in your browser, document contents stay on your device and are not uploaded to Paperuna for processing.
Some tools may require server processing. When a tool clearly identifies server processing, the selected file is transmitted securely to the processing server, stored only in temporary restricted storage, assigned a random internal name and deleted after processing. Document contents are not stored in Paperuna's database.
We do not use document contents, filenames, OCR text, passwords or generated files for advertising, analytics or model training.
3. Information we may receive
- Basic technical request information, such as IP address, browser type, timestamps and requested pages, may appear in security and hosting logs.
- Consent preferences are stored in your browser.
- If you allow analytics, Paperuna may record privacy-safe events such as the tool used, broad file-size bucket, number of files, processing outcome and approximate processing-time bucket.
- If advertising is enabled with your permission, advertising providers may process device identifiers, cookie information and advert interaction data according to their own notices.
4. Why information is processed
Information is processed to provide requested tools, secure and troubleshoot the service, prevent abuse, understand aggregate product performance where consent is required, and fund the free service through advertising where advertising consent has been provided.
5. Legal bases
Depending on the context, processing may be necessary to provide the service you request, based on Paperuna's legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, required by law, or based on your consent. Optional analytics and advertising storage is not activated until you make a choice where consent is required.
6. Service providers and international transfers
Paperuna may use hosting, security, content-delivery and analytics providers. If you allow advertising, Paperuna may use Google AdSense to deliver and measure adverts. These providers should receive only the information needed for their role. Some may process information outside the UK; appropriate safeguards must be used where required.
7. Retention
Browser-side documents remain under your control. Temporary server files are deleted after processing or expiry. Security logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security and operations. Consent choices remain in your browser until cleared or replaced.
8. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, receive portable data, and withdraw consent. You may change optional technology choices at any time using . You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office or your local supervisory authority.
9. Security
Paperuna uses measures intended to reduce risk, including local processing where practical, file validation, temporary random storage keys for server tools, restricted file handling, sanitised errors and secure response headers. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
Paperuna is a general document utility and is not directed at children. Advertising configuration must be reviewed carefully before the service is knowingly offered to children.
11. Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when the service, providers or legal requirements change. Material changes will be identified by a revised date. Paperuna's operator contact information must be published here before launch so users can make privacy requests.
