Privacy policy

We built CopyClip so your copy history stays on your Mac—not on our servers.

Effective: 24 May 2026 · info@copyclip.app

Summary

  • Clipboard history is stored locally in your Mac user account.
  • We do not sell your clipboard data.
  • Optional online features (GIF search, license checks, app updates) send only what is needed for those features.

Data stored on your device

CopyClip saves items you copy (text, links, images, files, and related metadata such as source app and timestamps) in Application Support on your Mac. You can delete clips in the app; uninstalling removes the app bundle (you may delete leftover support files in Finder if you wish).

Pro license keys may be stored in the macOS Keychain on your device.

Data we do not collect by default

We do not operate a cloud sync service for your clipboard. We do not receive the contents of your clipboard unless you voluntarily send them to us (for example in a support email you write yourself).

Third-party services

Depending on how you use CopyClip, these services may apply:

  • Lemon Squeezy — If you purchase CopyClip Pro, payment and license validation are handled by Lemon Squeezy under their privacy policy. We receive license status needed to unlock Pro features.
  • Giphy — If you use GIF search (Pro), search queries are sent to Giphy's API. We do not send your clipboard history to Giphy.
  • Sparkle — In-app updates may check copyclip.app for new versions. No personal clipboard data is included in update checks.

Permissions

Accessibility — Used only to paste into other applications via simulated keyboard input when you choose to paste from CopyClip.

Network — Used for optional features above (updates, Pro license, GIF search), not for uploading clipboard history.

Bug reports & support

When you use Report a Bug in the app or on the support page, you send only what you type plus app version, macOS version, and whether Accessibility is enabled. Clipboard contents are not included. Reports are delivered to us via our form provider (Formspree).

Children

CopyClip is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product changes. The effective date at the top will be revised when we do. Continued use of CopyClip after changes means you accept the updated policy.
