Individuals who reside outside of the United States, including any visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, may not access this website or any of our Services.
Papercut AI is provided by Papercut Studios LLC (“Papercut,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. This Privacy Policy is provided for your information and explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, when we may transmit it to third parties, who receives it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have, including to opt-out of the sale of that information.
This Privacy Policy covers papercutai.io and its subdomains (the “Site”), applications owned and operated by Papercut (the “App”), the hosted services, behind them, and any other features, products, goods, or services Papercut provides (together, the “Services”). “Personal Information” means information that identifies or could reasonably be linked to an identifiable person or household, as defined by applicable law.
Your Personal Information will only be shared with members of Papercut who need to know this information in order for us to provide Services to you. At times, we may need to disclose your Personal Information to third parties outside of Papercut who may be assisting us with providing Services to you, as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at privacy@papercutai.io.
If you voluntarily provide your information in the course of interacting with any Site or App or by otherwise using our Services, we will take that as your agreement to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use, which govern your use of this Site and the other Services. By accessing or viewing a Site, contacting us to inquire about our Services, visiting our Locations, or participating in or otherwise using any Services, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to our Terms of Use.
We may ask you to provide certain Personal Information to us in connection with the Services, including:
Your decision to provide us with Personal Information is voluntary, but if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to take advantage of all of a Site’s or App’s features or our other Services.
In addition to information that you choose to submit to us, we and/or our service providers may automatically collect and/or store certain information when you visit or interact with a Site or App (“Usage Information”). This Usage Information may be stored on and/or accessed from your Device whenever you visit or interact with a Site or App. Usage Information may include:
By collecting and/or storing location information, we may use this information to provide customized Services, content, and other information that may be of interest to you.
If you no longer wish for us or our service providers to collect and use location information, you may disable the location features on your Device. Consult your Device manufacturer’s settings for instructions. Please note that if you disable such features, your ability to access certain features, content, promotions, products, or other Services may be limited or disabled.
The Services may also contain buttons, tools, links, and other content that leads to third-party services, like Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite of applications, X, or LinkedIn. Interacting with these buttons, tools, links, and other content may automatically send some of your Personal Information to these third parties. This Privacy Policy does not cover third-party websites, products, goods, services, or content, all of which are governed by their respective privacy policies. Please review the privacy policies of these other companies for more details.
We may use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies may set, change, alter, or modify settings or configurations on your Device. A few of the Tracking Technologies that may be used on the Services include, but are not limited to, the following (as well as future-developed tracking technology or methods that are not listed here):
Papercut is a service provider to our users. One of the features of the Services is the ability to create individual profiles (“Profiles”). These Profiles may be created by us or by users, and may pertain to registered or non-registered users of the Services or non-users. Some Profiles may be available in whole or in part to all users, while others may be available to only a subset of users.
In the course of providing the Services, we may also collect Personal Information about you from other sources, including court and other public records, and/or state, federal, or international agencies. We may combine the information we collect from third parties with information that we have collected from you or through your use of our Services.
The Services may also include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Services and your account on a third-party website or application, like Adobe’s website and applications (including Adobe Premiere Pro). The use of this functionality may involve the third-party site or application providing information to us. For example, we may provide links on our Sites to facilitate sending communications from the Sites or we may use third parties to facilitate emails or postings to social media (like a “Share” or “Forward” button). These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy. We may not control or have access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use third-party sites or other third-party services, you are using their services and not our Services and they, not we, are responsible for their practices. You should read the applicable third-party privacy policies before using such third-party tools on our Services. Please also see our Terms of Use for further information.
The Personal Information we process depends on how you interact with and access our Services. The ways in which we may process your Personal Information include:
We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Services so it is no longer linked to your Personal Information. We may use and share this aggregated and anonymized information (non-Personal Information) for any purpose, including without limitation, for research purposes, and may also share such data with our affiliates and third parties.
To the extent permitted by law, certain nonpublic information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:
Our Services include products, features, or tools that are powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and similar technologies (collectively, “AI Products”) that we rely on to provide core aspects of the Services. The terms in this Privacy Policy govern your use of the AI Products that are part of our Services.
We provide the AI Products through third-party service providers (“AI Service Providers”), including Google Vertex AI. Your input, output, and personal information will be shared with and processed by our AI Service Providers when you use our AI Products.
Our AI Products perform the following functions:
All of your Personal Information that we process using our AI Products is handled as described in this Privacy Policy and in our agreements with AI Service Providers and other third parties to help protect your Personal Information throughout processing.
We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please either update your information through your online account or contact us at privacy@papercutai.io. We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the request (but we may retain prior information as business records).
You can request deletion of your whole account from your account page or by emailing privacy@papercutai.io. Deletion requests currently route to our team, which runs the deletion promptly and confirms when it is done.
When your account is deleted, we delete the projects where you are the only member, including the records, media, and files associated with your projects and the account itself. Projects you maintain with others will remain for the remaining users associated with the projects. Some of your Personal Information, including your name and other identifying information, may be kept in our database for the limited periods described under “Retention of Personal Information” (for example, the security audit log, which is anonymized when your account is deleted) even after a deletion request to maintain the integrity and records of the databases and systems of our Services or to comply with applicable laws and requirements. We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your use of the Services, service announcements, notices of changes to this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, or other terms, and similar administrative or transactional messages, all of which will not be affected by any choice to opt out of marketing communications.
The Services are not intended to be used by children. You must be at least 18 to use the Services, per our terms. We do not request or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will delete the account and its Personal Information. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 18 who you believe has provided his or her information to us, please contact us at privacy@papercutai.io to request that we delete that information.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. There is no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.
Some browsers can send opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). Our Site is configured to acknowledge and honor GPC signals. If you use a browser or extension that supports GPC, we will treat this as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes under applicable state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and make reasonable efforts to automatically apply your opt-out preference as required by applicable law without you needing to take any additional action. Because we do not sell Personal Information or share it for advertising, there is no sale or sharing to opt out of; the signal requires no further action from us or from you. You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it here.
The Services are not meant for or available to any residents outside of the United States, including those visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, as stated in our Terms of Use.
The Services are hosted in the United States and available only to users in the United States. If you are visiting the Site from outside of the United States, you are prohibited from accessing our Services as stated in the Terms of Use. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. If you visit the Site from outside the United States, your connection to the Site will be through and to servers located in the United States, and the information described in this Privacy Policy is processed and stored in the United States.
We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the internet, mobile networks, or wireless transmission or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Services, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.
We keep Personal Information only as long as necessary for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (including tax, accounting, and audit obligations, secure our Services, detect and prevent potential illegal activity that violates Papercut’s policies, to resolve disputes and enforce legal agreements and policies, or for other legal requirements. Where a longer period is required by law (for example, tax or audit obligations), we keep the specific records required, for that purpose only.
We use the following criteria to determine the length of time that we will retain Personal Information:
We either delete or anonymize Personal Information when we no longer have a legitimate business need to process it. If this is not possible, such as when Personal Information is stored in backup or archival copies, the Personal Information remains securely stored and isolated from any further processing until we can delete or anonymize it.
This section supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy and applies only to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (the “CCPA”).
For residents of other U.S. states, see Your Privacy Rights Under Other U.S. State Laws.
As a California consumer, you have specific rights about how your Personal Information is collected and used. These rights include:
Under certain circumstances, California residents have the right to request that a business that collects Personal Information about them disclose the information listed below for the preceding 12 months:
If we collected information about you for a single, one-time transaction and do not keep that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section. Additionally, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.
You can also request that we correct or delete your Personal Information. There may be certain exceptions to our obligation to correct or delete your information, such as if you have an existing account or transaction with us or if we have a legitimate business reason to keep your information.
California residents also have the right, at any time, to tell us not to sell Personal Information. This is called the “right to opt-out” of the sale of Personal Information. We do not sell consumers’ Personal Information to third parties at this time.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

The CCPA regulations’ rules on automated decision-making technology apply when a business uses such technology to make “significant decisions” about consumers, such as decisions about financial or lending services, housing, education, employment, or healthcare. We do not use automated decision-making technology to make any significant decision about you.
You or your authorized agent may make an access, deletion, or correction request to us by contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
