Privacy Policy, Save to Paperless

Last updated July 16, 2026

Save to Paperless is a browser extension, by Vida Solutions, Inc, that lets you upload documents to your own Paperless-ngx server. This policy explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with your data. It is separate from the Vida Solutions website privacy policy.

What the extension stores

Your Paperless-ngx server URL and API token. These are stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. They never leave your device except to authenticate requests to the Paperless server you configured.

What the extension sends, and to whom

  • The extension communicates only with the Paperless-ngx server URL you enter.
  • It sends your API token to that server, in an Authorization: Token header, and uploads the document you choose: a file you pick, or the page or PDF in your current tab when you use "Send current tab" or the right-click menu.
  • It sends data to no other server. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no third-party service, and no advertising.

What the extension does NOT access

  • It does not read your browsing history.
  • It does not access your tabs or page content in the background. It reads the current tab's address only at the moment you click "Send current tab" or the "Send page to Paperless" right-click item, and only to upload that document to your own server.
  • It accesses no website other than the Paperless server you configured. Host access is requested at runtime for that one origin only.
  • It does not collect personal information for the developer.

Data retention and deletion

Your URL and token remain in your browser until you remove them, by clearing the fields in Settings, or by uninstalling the extension, which deletes all stored data. Documents you upload live on your own Paperless server; this extension keeps no copy.
