Privacy Policy — Papeleo

Last updated: February 21, 2026 Effective date: February 21, 2026


1. Who we are

This browser extension (“Papeleo”) is developed and published by:

Xabarin B.V. KvK: 69834717 Registered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands Contact: hola@getpapeleo.com

For questions about this privacy policy or your personal data, you can reach us at hola@getpapeleo.com.


2. What this extension does

Papeleo is a productivity tool designed for anyone who fills online forms repeatedly — bookkeepers, accountants, sellers, expats, families and administrative professionals. It allows users to:

  • Import data from CSV and XLSX files into collections (groups of same-type data)
  • Auto-fill web form fields using the imported records
  • Create and save custom field mappings per website
  • Store multiple collections and records locally for repeated use

3. Data we process — and where it stays

3.1 Data imported by the user

When you import a CSV or XLSX file, the records (names, identification numbers, addresses, contact details, tax identifiers, product details, and any other fields present in your file) are:

  • Stored exclusively on your local device, in the browser’s local storage (chrome.storage.local)
  • Encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM via the Web Crypto API
  • Never transmitted to our servers or any third party
  • Never accessible to Xabarin B.V. or any of our service providers

We have no technical means to access, view, recover, or process the data you import into the extension. Your device is the sole location where this data exists.

3.2 Field mappings and configuration

Custom field mappings (which CSV column maps to which form field) and your extension settings are stored locally on your device alongside the imported data, under the same encryption. These mappings may contain field labels from websites you use but do not contain PII.

3.3 Account and payment data

When a paid version of Papeleo becomes available, your payment will be processed by Paddle (as Merchant of Record). During this process:

  • Your email address is collected to create and manage your subscription
  • Your payment details (credit card, SEPA, PayPal, etc.) are processed directly by Paddle and are never accessible to us
  • Your subscription status (active, cancelled, trial) is stored by Paddle to enable premium features
  • VAT is calculated and collected by Paddle automatically based on your location

Paddle’s privacy policy: https://www.paddle.com/legal/privacy

3.4 Usage analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics tool, to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data on our website (getpapeleo.com). This includes:

  • Page views and referral sources
  • Browser type and device category
  • Country (approximate, from IP — IP addresses are not stored)

We do not collect: the content of any form field, any imported data, any URL containing personal information, or any browsing history. Umami does not use cookies and does not track individual users across sessions.

The extension itself makes no analytics or telemetry network requests.


4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR Article 6)

DataLegal basisDetails
Imported data (CSV/XLSX)Not applicable — data is processed locally on your device; Xabarin B.V. is not a data processorYou remain the sole data controller
Email (payment)Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b))Necessary to provide the subscription service
Payment detailsContract performance (Art. 6(1)(b))Processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record
Website analyticsLegitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))To improve website quality; anonymous, cookie-free, no PII

Important note on roles

Because all imported data is processed exclusively on your local device and is never transmitted to or accessible by Xabarin B.V., we do not act as a data processor under GDPR with respect to the data you import. You (the user) remain the data controller for any personal data stored in your collections.

If you are a professional processing your clients’ personal data using this extension, you are responsible for having a lawful basis for that processing under GDPR (typically: contractual necessity or legitimate interest in performing your administrative services).


5. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any personal data with third parties for advertising, marketing, or any purpose unrelated to the core functionality of the extension.

The only third-party services involved are:

ServicePurposeData shared
PaddlePayment processing and subscription management (Merchant of Record)Email, payment method, billing address (processed by Paddle directly)
UmamiAnonymous website analytics (cookie-free)Aggregated page views, browser type, country — no PII

No imported data (the data you store in collections from CSV/XLSX files) is ever shared with any third party.


6. Data retention

7. Data security

  • Imported data is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM via the browser’s Web Crypto API
  • No imported data is transmitted over any network
  • The extension requests only the minimum permissions required:
    • activeTab — to read and fill form fields on the current page, only when you click “Fill”
    • storage / unlimitedStorage — to store encrypted collections and records locally
    • <all_urls> (host permission) — to fill forms on any website you navigate to (only triggered by explicit user action)
    • alarms — to implement automatic session lock after inactivity (clears decrypted data from memory)
    • webNavigation — to detect iframes within pages so form fields inside embedded frames can also be filled
  • Payment data is handled by Paddle, which maintains PCI DSS compliance

8. Your rights under GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding the personal data we hold about you (specifically: your email and subscription data managed by Paddle):

  • Access — Request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure — Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Restriction — Request that we limit processing of your data
  • Portability — Request your data in a machine-readable format
  • Objection — Object to processing based on legitimate interest
  • Withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hola@getpapeleo.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Regarding data stored locally in the extension: since this data exists only on your device and we have no access to it, you can exercise full control over it directly within the extension (view, export, delete).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In The Netherlands: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). In Spain: Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (https://www.aepd.es).


9. International transfers

We do not transfer imported data internationally (it never leaves your device). Subscription-related data (email, payment status) may be processed by Paddle, whose servers may be located outside the EEA. Paddle maintains appropriate safeguards for international data transfers (Standard Contractual Clauses).


10. Children’s privacy

This extension is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

  • This extension’s use of data is limited to providing or improving the extension’s core functionality (form auto-filling)
  • Data collected by this extension is not used for personalized advertising
  • Data is not sold to third parties, data brokers, or information resellers
