Privacy Policy

Effective May 19, 2026
Privacy focused clipboard utility

ClpbrdPlus

ClpbrdPlus is built around a simple idea: a clipboard tool should help you without watching you. Clipboard contents stay on your Mac, and the app does not collect user data.

For App Store privacy purposes, ClpbrdPlus does not collect data.

TL;DR

No tracking

Local Processing

On device

ClpbrdPlus processes clipboard history and link cleaning locally on your device. The app does not upload clipboard contents to GeekToyBox, third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or cloud storage.

Link sanitization also happens locally. When ClpbrdPlus removes tracking fields from copied URLs, that work is performed on your Mac.

History Storage

Encrypted

Clipboard history is optional and local. If persistent history is enabled, ClpbrdPlus stores saved clips in a local encrypted cache file on your Mac.

The macOS Keychain stores only the local encryption key needed to unlock that encrypted cache. Clipboard contents are not stored in Keychain.

ClpbrdPlus includes a readable cache viewer so you can inspect what the app can decrypt from its local cache. The viewer does not create a separate unencrypted cache file.

Sensitive Items

Best effort

ClpbrdPlus uses local, best-effort detection for likely sensitive clipboard items such as passwords, tokens, private keys, and recovery phrase-like text.

Sensitive items can be hidden from previews, excluded from disk persistence, cleared when your Mac locks, and removed from history after a short delay. Detection cannot be perfect, so users remain in control of these settings.

Permissions

User initiated

ClpbrdPlus may ask for Accessibility permission so the Paste command can work from the menu bar. When you choose Paste, the app writes the selected item to the system clipboard, returns focus to the previously active app, and sends the standard Cmd+V keyboard shortcut.

ClpbrdPlus uses Accessibility permission only for user-initiated paste actions. Without this permission, the app can still copy the selected item back to the clipboard, but it cannot automatically paste into another app.

macOS may also show a Keychain prompt when ClpbrdPlus needs to read the local encryption key for its encrypted cache.

Purchases

Handled by Apple

ClpbrdPlus uses Apple's App Store purchase system for paid history-capacity upgrades and optional tips. Purchases are handled by Apple. ClpbrdPlus does not receive your payment card details.

Apple App Store Statistics

Aggregate only

Apple may provide developers with aggregate App Store information, such as sales, downloads, crash reports, or broad OS version statistics. ClpbrdPlus does not add custom analytics, tracking, telemetry, or profiling of its own.

Changes

Policy updates

This policy may be updated as ClpbrdPlus evolves. Any meaningful privacy change should be reflected here before or alongside the related app update.
