Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NexoPad collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website, dashboard, browser extension, Windows app, and related services.

1. Data controller

The controller of personal data processing is NexoPad, a business activity operated by a natural person under the laws of the Republic of Colombia.
Contact email: support(at)nexopad.app
Country of operation: Colombia
Website: nexopad.app

2. Information we collect

We may collect different categories of information in order to operate and improve our services:
  • Account data: email address, user identifiers, core authentication data, and account preferences.
  • Sign-in with Google: if you choose to sign in with your Google account, we receive your email address, name, and profile photo through Google and Supabase. We do not receive your Google password or access your Gmail, Google Drive, or other Google services.
  • User content: notes, snippets, text fragments, links, captured CSS selectors, settings, and other content the user chooses to save or sync.
  • Usage data and statistics: number of text expansions, characters saved, links used, and other aggregated productivity metrics.
  • Payment data: processed exclusively by Lemon Squeezy. NexoPad does not store full credit card numbers or full banking details.
  • Support information: data that the user shares when contacting us for customer support.
  • Technical information: browser type, extension version, error logs, and service operation data.
  • Devices: a randomly created identifier for each browser and computer where you sign in, together with the browser and system name (for example, “Chrome · Windows”), to show them under My account › Devices and to apply the number of devices allowed by your plan.
  • Windows app: what the app does on your PC and the data it sends are explained in section 23.
Note about the browser extension: NexoPad does not monitor your browsing history, does not capture passwords, and does not send the content of the pages you visit to our servers. The extension only accesses a page in these cases: (1) to insert your shortcuts into the active text field when you tell it to; (2) to fill in variables, it may read some visible data on the page in your browser, such as the sender and subject of an email open in Gmail or a contact's name on LinkedIn or in a CRM; that data is used on the spot to complete the shortcut and is not stored on our servers unless you include it in a note or shortcut; (3) if you use the {{clipboard}} variable, it reads your clipboard at that moment, with your browser's permission; (4) when you ask it to, it may read your open tabs or your browser bookmarks to save them as links, and the CSS selectors you pick with the capture tool.

3. How we obtain information

We may obtain information when you:
  • Create an account or sign in.
  • Save notes, snippets, links, or selectors inside the extension.
  • Use the NexoPad app for Windows (see section 23).
  • Add a template from the nexopad.app gallery with the “Add to NexoPad” button.
  • Sync content across devices.
  • Interact with our website or dashboard at dashboard.nexopad.app.
  • Make a payment or subscribe to a plan.
  • Contact us for support or inquiries.
  • Generate technical logs required to operate the service.

4. Purposes of processing

We use information to:
Create and manage user accounts.
Store and sync user content.
Provide the cloud service and manage teams.
Process payments and manage subscriptions.
Maintain backup copies.
Prevent fraud, abuse, and breaches of the terms.
Improve stability, performance, and features.
Provide customer support.
Send you service emails (for example, welcome, security, or account status emails) and product news, which you can unsubscribe from at any time using the link in each email.
Generate aggregated non-identifiable usage statistics.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.

5. Legal basis for processing

Personal data processing relies on the following legal bases, as applicable:
  • Colombia (Law 1581 of 2012): by registering or using NexoPad, you authorize the processing of your personal data for the purposes described in this policy.
  • European Union / GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679): processing may rely on contractual necessity, consent, legitimate interest, and legal obligation, depending on the situation.
If we collect data subject to special rules, we will request any additional authorizations that may be required.

6. Analytics and cookies

The NexoPad website uses Vercel Analytics to collect aggregated and anonymous information about site performance and traffic. Vercel Analytics does not use tracking cookies and does not share information with third-party advertising platforms.
NexoPad does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or other advertising trackers. We do not display ads and we do not sell data to third parties.
We may use strictly necessary technical cookies for the operation of the service, such as session and authentication cookies. These cookies do not require additional consent because they are essential to provide the service.
The language is part of the address itself (for example, /en/), so the site doesn’t need any cookie to remember it. Some interface preferences (for example, whether a menu is open) are stored only in your browser, and page speed is measured with Vercel Speed Insights, which does not use cookies either. YouTube videos load from YouTube’s no-cookie version (youtube-nocookie.com) and only when you press play.

7. Technology providers and subprocessors

To operate the service, NexoPad relies on the following technology providers, who may process user data as processors or subprocessors:
Supabase, Inc. (United States): database, authentication, and storage on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Vercel, Inc. (United States): website hosting, admin dashboard hosting, and anonymous web analytics.
Lemon Squeezy (United States): payment processing, subscription management, and billing. NexoPad does not store payment card data; those details are handled directly by Lemon Squeezy.
Brevo (France, European Union): sending emails, such as the welcome email and product news.
Resend, Inc. (United States): sending notices about your account, for example about inactivity.
Google LLC (United States): sign-in with Google, only if you choose that option.
These providers may process information only to the extent necessary to deliver their services to us and are subject to contractual obligations of confidentiality, security, and proper data handling. This list may be updated; the current version will always be available on this page.
Website icons: to show each website's icon next to your links, the extension and the dashboard request it from Google's public icon service (google.com/s2/favicons). Google only receives the website's domain (for example, example.com) and, as with any page you load, your IP address. It does not receive the link's full address, your account, or the content of your notes.

8. International transfer and storage

NexoPad operates from Colombia, but the technological infrastructure is primarily located on servers in the United States (AWS via Supabase, Vercel, Lemon Squeezy, Resend and, if you sign in with Google, Google). Some emails are sent through Brevo, which is based in the European Union.
As a result, personal data and user content may be stored, transmitted, and processed outside Colombia. By using NexoPad, the user expressly authorizes the international transfer of data to the extent necessary to operate the service.
For users in the EU/EEA: transfers to the United States rely on European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses or other valid transfer mechanisms offered by our providers. If a transfer mechanism is invalidated, we will adopt reasonable supplementary measures or notify affected users.

9. User content

Users may voluntarily store content inside NexoPad, including notes, snippets, links, and captured CSS selectors. This content is processed and stored to enable syncing, cross-device access, team vault features, and management from the dashboard or extension.
Users are responsible for the content they choose to store and must not store unlawful, malicious, or unauthorized information.

10. Sensitive data and restricted content

NexoPad is not designed to store special categories of personal data, master passwords, full banking credentials, social security numbers, or classified third-party information without a sufficient legal basis.
If you choose to store that kind of information in NexoPad, you do so at your own risk. NexoPad does not assume additional custody duties or special regulatory compliance obligations such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or similar frameworks unless expressly agreed in writing.

11. Information security

We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or improper disclosure, including:
  • HTTPS/TLS encrypted communications in transit.
  • Encryption at rest through infrastructure provided by AWS/Supabase.
  • Row Level Security policies in the database.
  • Authentication with JWT tokens and automatic refresh.
  • Optional PIN lock to hide on-screen content in the browser extension.
  • Signature verification for payment webhooks.
NexoPad team access to your account: we only view the content of your account when you ask us for help and it is needed to solve your request (for example, to see why a shortcut isn't showing up). Every access is logged internally together with its reason.
However, no system is completely infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for keeping their access credentials secure.

12. Security breach notification

NexoPad undertakes to act with reasonable diligence in the event of any security incident involving personal data.
If a security breach affects users' personal data, NexoPad commits to:
  • Notify affected users by email within a reasonable period and, where applicable, within 72 hours after detecting the incident.
  • Notify the Colombian Superintendence of Industry and Commerce and any other competent authority when legally required.
  • Describe the nature of the incident, the categories of data affected, the measures adopted, and recommendations for users to protect their information.
  • Document the incident internally, including its effects and the corrective actions implemented.

13. Data retention

We retain personal data and user content according to the following criteria:
  • Active account: while the user keeps an active account and uses the service.
  • Inactive accounts: if an account is not used for more than 12 months, we may delete it along with all its content. We will notify you by email first, at least 30 days before deletion. To keep your account, just sign in.
  • Account deletion: after an account deletion request, personal data and user content are removed within a maximum of 30 calendar days, unless a legal retention obligation applies.
  • Trash: notes and links you move to the trash are automatically deleted from our servers 30 days later. In TEAMS plans, company notes deleted from the trash stay in the team trash for another 30 days, so the owner or an admin can recover them, and are then deleted.
  • Audit logs (TEAMS) and support access logs: retained for 12 months from creation for security and traceability purposes, and then deleted automatically.
  • Previous versions of notes (TEAMS): kept for 15 days so they can be restored, and then deleted automatically.
  • Backups: backup copies that may contain user data are deleted within 90 days after account deletion.
  • Billing data: retained for the period required under applicable tax law.

14. Data subject rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may exercise the following rights:

Colombia (Law 1581 of 2012)

  • Know, update, and correct your personal data.
  • Request proof of the authorization granted.

If you need additional assistance exporting your data, you can contact us at support(at)nexopad.app and we will process your request within a reasonable timeframe.

16. Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for companies

If your company or organization requires a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under Article 28 GDPR or another applicable data protection framework, you may request one by writing to support(at)nexopad.app.
The DPA sets out NexoPad's obligations and responsibilities as a processor when handling personal data on behalf of your organization, including security measures, breach notification, authorized subprocessors, audits, and data deletion at the end of the contract.

17. Procedure for requests and complaints

To exercise your rights, you may write to support(at)nexopad.app and include:
  • Name and identification of the data subject.
  • Email associated with the account, if applicable.
  • A clear description of the request or complaint.
  • Supporting documents, if any.
We will respond within a maximum of 15 business days under Colombian law. For users in the EU/EEA, the response period is 30 calendar days, extendable in justified cases of complexity.

18. Children

NexoPad is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. By creating an account, the user represents and warrants that they are at least 16 years old.
If we discover that we collected personal data from a child under 16 without verifiable parental or guardian consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe that a child has provided data to NexoPad without authorization, please contact us immediately at support(at)nexopad.app.

19. No sale of personal data

NexoPad does not sell, rent, or trade users' personal data to third parties for advertising, marketing, or any other unrelated purpose. User data is shared only with the technology providers identified in section 7 of this policy, exclusively to operate the service.
Google data and the Chrome Web Store: The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. NexoPad's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only use your data to provide and improve the features you see in NexoPad, never for advertising, and no person reads it except when you ask us for help (section 11) or when the law requires it.

20. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will publish the current version on this page and indicate the date of the latest update.
In the event of material changes, we will notify registered users by email at least 15 days in advance. Continued use of the services after that period constitutes acceptance of the updated version to the extent permitted by law.

21. International user rights (GDPR and CCPA)

If you live in the European Economic Area or in California, the law may grant you specific rights over your personal data:

Users in Europe (GDPR)

  • Access and portability: you may request an exportable copy of the data and notes we hold about you.
  • Rectification: you may update or correct inaccurate data from your control panel.
  • Erasure: you may request permanent deletion of your account, note vault, and associated data from our servers.
  • Objection: you may object to the processing of your data for analytics or marketing purposes.

Users in California, U.S. (CCPA)

  • Right to know and delete: you have the right to know what information we collect and to request its deletion.
  • No sale of information: NexoPad does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or note content to third parties.
  • Non-discrimination: we will not deny service or change its quality because you exercise your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, regardless of your country of residence, email us at support(at)nexopad.app from the email associated with your account. We will process your request free of charge within a maximum of 30 days.

22. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Features

NexoPad offers AI-assisted features under a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model: the user provides their own API key from a third-party AI provider (for example, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, or other compatible providers).
  • The API key is stored only locally in the user's browser and is never transmitted to or stored on NexoPad's servers.
  • When the user uses an AI feature, the selected content is sent directly from their browser to the chosen AI provider, using their own key, without passing through NexoPad's servers.
  • NexoPad does not intercept, log, or store the content of these requests or the responses generated by the AI provider.
How that third-party AI provider handles the information sent (including retention, use for model training, or its own privacy policies) is governed by that provider's own terms, not by NexoPad. We recommend reviewing those policies before sending sensitive information through these features.
NexoPad assumes no responsibility for data handling carried out by third-party AI providers freely chosen by the user.

23. NexoPad app for Windows

NexoPad for Windows is a desktop app that inserts your text shortcuts into the programs on your PC (for example, Word, Outlook, WhatsApp, or Teams). To do this, it needs some access on your computer. This section explains what it accesses, what data stays on your PC, and what is sent to our servers.

What it does on your PC

  • Keyboard: it only remembers the last characters you type (60 at most) to recognize when you type a shortcut. Those characters exist only in your PC’s memory, are cleared when you switch windows, and are never saved to disk or sent to our servers or to third parties.
  • Sensitive programs: in password managers, terminals (such as PowerShell or Command Prompt), remote desktop programs, Windows security windows, browsers (where the extension works), and any programs where you turn it off, the app keeps nothing you type and does not insert shortcuts. You can also pause it at any time.
  • Clipboard: to insert a shortcut, it briefly places the text on the clipboard and pastes it; this step is kept out of the Windows clipboard history and is not synced to other devices. If a shortcut uses the clipboard variable, it reads the clipboard at that moment to complete the text, without saving or sending it.
  • Screenshots: only when you use the screenshot tool. Images are saved on your PC, in the folder you choose (by default, Pictures\NexoPad), with a history and thumbnails in the app’s folder. They are never uploaded to our servers. You can delete them at any time or have them deleted automatically after 7 or 30 days. The “Copy text” feature uses the text recognition built into Windows, which works on your PC without sending the image. Scrolling screenshots take pictures of the area you choose while you scroll and join them on your PC; with "Auto scroll", the app moves the mouse wheel in that window. "Open an image" only reads the file you choose or the image you copied.
  • Screen recording: only when you start it (with Alt+3 or the "Record" button), and a red frame marks the area while recording. The microphone is only used if you turn it on in the recording bar, and your PC's sound only if you enable that option; both start off and the app remembers your choice. Drawings you make while recording are part of the video. Videos are created and saved on your PC (temporary files in the app folder) and are never uploaded to our servers.
  • Local copy of your data: to work quickly and also offline, it keeps on your PC a copy of your shortcuts, your basic account details (email, name, plan, and team), your usage counters, and the latest values you typed in shortcut forms. This copy is encrypted with Windows data protection, so it can only be read with your Windows user account on that PC. Your app preferences and this PC’s identifier are stored separately, unencrypted, because they don’t contain your texts. Your session is stored in Windows Credential Manager.
  • Browser extension: to open the extension’s Notebook from the app, it checks the Chrome, Edge, and Firefox settings files on your PC to see whether the NexoPad extension is installed and enabled. It only looks for the extension: it does not read your history, passwords, or tabs, and it sends nothing.
  • Open programs: the “Apps” section shows the programs you have open so you can choose where to turn NexoPad off. That list never leaves your PC.
  • Start with Windows: the app only opens when your PC starts if you agree, and you can change this in Preferences.

What it sends to our servers

  • Sign-in: your email and password, or Google sign-in, to connect to your account. With Google, your browser opens and the response returns to the app through a local address on your own PC.
  • Your shortcuts: the app downloads your shortcuts and your team’s, and checks for changes from time to time.
  • This PC in your account: a randomly generated identifier for this PC and the Windows version (for example, “Windows 11”), to show it under My account › Devices in the web dashboard, apply the number of PCs in your plan and let you disconnect it from there. The PC’s name is not sent.
  • Usage statistics: how many times you use each shortcut and how many characters you insert, to show your time saved and to apply the monthly limit of the Free plan. The text you type and the names of the programs where you use your shortcuts are not sent.
The Windows app does not include Artificial Intelligence features, does not show ads, and does not use analytics or tracking tools.

How to delete the data on your PC

  • Signing out deletes the saved session and the local copy of your shortcuts and account.
  • You can delete screenshots from the app’s “Screenshots” section or from their folder.
  • Uninstalling the app removes the data it keeps in its folder. Screenshots you saved in your pictures folder are kept, because they are your files. To also delete the session, sign out before uninstalling.
