Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 1, 2026

Effective Date: April 3, 2026 Last Updated: April 3, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how PaidWrite uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you use our mobile app, web app, and Chrome extension.

1. Overview

PaidWrite uses minimal client-side storage to operate the Service. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

2. Essential Storage

The following storage is required for PaidWrite to function:

| Technology | Purpose | Duration | Type | |-----------|---------|----------|------| | Device UUID | Unique device identifier (UUID v4) generated on first launch | Persistent until app uninstall or data clear | `expo-secure-store` (mobile), `localStorage` (web) | | Authentication token | Session token for logged-in users | Until logout or token expiration | `expo-secure-store` (mobile), `localStorage` (web) | | Stripe session data | Temporary payment session identifiers during checkout | Duration of checkout session | Set by Stripe payment iframe | | App settings | Language preference, onboarding completion status | Persistent | `AsyncStorage` (mobile), `localStorage` (web) |

3. Chrome Extension Storage

The PaidWrite Chrome extension uses `chrome.storage.local` to store:

  • Device UUID — identifies the extension installation
  • Analysis history cache — recently analyzed documents for quick access
  • API endpoint configuration — server URL for API communication
No cross-site tracking occurs. The extension only activates when you explicitly invoke it (right-click context menu or extension popup).

4. Cookies Set by Third Parties

Stripe

During the payment process, Stripe's embedded payment iframe may set cookies necessary for fraud detection and payment processing. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.

Sentry

Sentry's error monitoring SDK may use local storage to track session information for error reporting. No personal information or document content is included. This is governed by Sentry's Privacy Policy.

5. What We Do NOT Use

  • No advertising or marketing cookies
  • No third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
  • No social media tracking pixels
  • No cross-site tracking of any kind
  • No fingerprinting technologies

6. Managing Your Data

  • Android: Settings > Apps > PaidWrite > Storage > Clear Data, or uninstall the app

7. Do Not Track

PaidWrite does not engage in behavioral tracking regardless of your browser's Do Not Track (DNT) setting. We do not track your browsing activity across websites.
