Privacy Policy

Introduction

At PasteJet, we believe your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy explains how PasteJet (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles your information when you use our clipboard management application for macOS (the “App”).

The short version: We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. Everything stays on your Mac.

Information We Don't Collect

PasteJet is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or usage data. Specifically:

• Clipboard Content: The text and data you copy stays exclusively on your Mac. We never upload, transmit, or store your clipboard history on external servers.
• Personal Information: We don't collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information.
• Usage Analytics: We don't track how you use the app, what you copy, or when you use it.
• Crash Reports: We don't automatically collect crash reports or diagnostic data.
• Device Information: We don't collect information about your Mac, operating system version, or hardware specifications.
• Network Activity: The app does not connect to the internet or communicate with external servers.

How the App Works Locally

PasteJet operates entirely on your Mac using local storage:

• Clipboard Monitoring: The app monitors your system clipboard to detect when you copy new content.
• Local Storage: Your clipboard history is stored locally in your Mac's application container, accessible only by PasteJet.
• Keyboard Monitoring: The app monitors keyboard input to detect the Command+V shortcut. This is done locally and no keystroke data is stored or transmitted.
• No Cloud Sync: Your clipboard history is not synchronized to any cloud service or across devices.

Permissions Required

PasteJet requires certain system permissions to function properly:

These permissions are used solely for the app's core functionality and do not enable us to collect any data about you or your usage.

App Sandbox and Security

PasteJet is fully sandboxed in accordance with Mac App Store guidelines. This means:

• The app can only access files and data within its own container.
• The app cannot access your personal files, photos, or documents without explicit permission.
• The app cannot make network connections or communicate with external services.
• Apple's sandboxing technology provides an additional layer of security and privacy protection.

Data Retention and Deletion

Your clipboard history is stored locally on your Mac. You have complete control over this data:

• The app keeps up to 100 items in your clipboard history by default.
• You can manually delete individual items or clear your entire history at any time from within the app.
• Uninstalling the app removes all clipboard history data from your Mac.
• Your data is never sent to us or any third party, so there's nothing for us to delete on our end.

Third-Party Services

PasteJet does not integrate with, share data with, or use any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. The app is entirely self-contained and operates independently on your Mac.

Children's Privacy

PasteJet does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because we don't collect data, there is no risk to children's privacy when using our app.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy.

Given that we don't collect any data, it's unlikely that any changes would materially affect your privacy. However, we encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your Privacy Rights

Because PasteJet does not collect, store, or process any personal data about you, traditional data privacy rights (such as the right to access, delete, or port your data) are not applicable in the conventional sense. However:

• You have complete control over your clipboard history data stored locally on your Mac.
• You can delete any or all of your clipboard history at any time through the app interface.
• You can uninstall the app at any time to remove all associated data.

GDPR and CCPA Compliance

PasteJet is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by design, as we:

• Do not collect, process, or store any personal data.
• Do not sell personal information (because we don't have any).
• Do not share data with third parties.
• Do not use cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics.
