Terms
Last updated November 5, 2026. By using BeanPaste, you agree to these terms.
What BeanPaste is
BeanPaste is a free service for sharing text. It has no accounts. Anyone with a public paste's link can read it, so a link is not a secret. Don't paste anything you need to keep private.
Private pastes, made through the API, stay off the website, but BeanPaste stores them unencrypted. Read the privacy notice to see who can receive your text.
Your text
You keep the rights you have in what you paste. You let BeanPaste store it, show public pastes to anyone with the link, and handle it as the privacy notice says, including after it expires or is removed. You're responsible for what you paste and for having the right to share it.
What you can't paste
- Sexual content involving minors, in any form
- Anything illegal to share, or that helps someone break the law
- Stolen data: credentials, card numbers, leaked databases
- Someone's personal details shared to harass or expose them
- Malware, or links to it
- Spam and scams
- Work you have no right to share
Removal
BeanPaste checks every new paste for abuse, automatically. It can remove or refuse any paste or API token at any time, without notice, including through automated checks that sometimes get it wrong. If you think that happened to you, write to us.
BeanPaste removes pastes that infringe copyright, and blocks sources that post them again and again. To report a paste, see Report abuse.
No guarantees
BeanPaste comes as it is, with no warranty. A paste kept "Forever" stays up until someone removes it or the service stops, and the service can change or stop at any time. Keep your own copy of anything you need. As far as the law allows, BeanPaste isn't liable for any loss from using it.
Changes
