Privacy
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Permanent Clipboard website and the Permanent Clipboard browser extension.
Permanent Clipboard is a clipboard and reusable-text tool. Its main purpose is to let you save text, organize it, and use it again later. Because of that, the product may handle the text you choose to save as well as certain clipboard-related information needed to provide its features.
What Information We Handle
Content you save or manage
The extension may handle text and related information that you choose to save, organize, edit, import, export, copy, or restore, including:
- saved snippets and notes
- entry titles and folder names
- backup and restore data
- other text you intentionally manage through the extension
Clipboard-related and page-related text
To provide clipboard features, the extension may detect or process text you copy in the browser and text you explicitly choose to save from a page. This may include recently copied text, selected text, or text inserted through the extension's popup or context-menu features.
Technical and usage information
We may collect limited technical and usage information needed to run, secure, and improve the product. This may include product version, browser or device context, feature interactions, diagnostic events, and error information.
Contact information
If you contact us directly, we may receive the information you include in your message, such as your email address and the contents of your request.
How We Use Information
We use information handled by Permanent Clipboard to:
- provide and maintain the extension and website
- save, organize, copy, insert, restore, and otherwise manage your snippets
- support local storage, browser sync, backup, and related clipboard features
- troubleshoot errors, maintain security, and improve reliability
- understand general product usage and improve the user experience
- respond to support requests and other communications
- comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
Where Information Is Stored
Depending on the features you use, information may be stored locally in your browser, in browser-provided synchronized storage, or in files you export yourself as backups.
If you use browser sync features, your data may also be processed or stored by the browser provider under its own terms and privacy practices.
Backup files you export are under your control. You are responsible for storing them safely.
Optional remote storage is not currently a general public feature. If remote storage is introduced later, this policy will be updated before general rollout. Any remote storage, if offered in the future, should be treated as a convenience feature rather than a guaranteed archive; users remain responsible for keeping their own backups, and we cannot guarantee against loss, corruption, or unavailability of remotely stored data.
Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, or improve Permanent Clipboard, including with service providers, infrastructure providers, analytics providers, or browser/platform providers involved in the features you use.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our rights, to address fraud or security issues, or to protect users, the public, or the Service.
Outside of the product features you use and the limited operational disclosures described above, we do not intentionally share the text you save with unrelated third parties.
Analytics and Diagnostics
Permanent Clipboard may use limited analytics and diagnostic tools to understand product usage, monitor reliability, and investigate errors. These tools are intended to be operational in nature.
At this time, the extension may send limited usage and diagnostic events to Google Analytics. These events are intended to help measure product usage and stability, not to publish or resell the text you save.
You should avoid using the product to store highly sensitive information unless you are comfortable with the risks associated with browser-based clipboard and storage features.
Your Choices
You can reduce or remove stored data by taking actions such as:
- deleting saved snippets or folders
- disabling or avoiding browser sync features
- clearing relevant browser storage
- removing exported backup files you created
- uninstalling the extension
If you have a privacy question or want help understanding what data may be stored, you can contact us using the email address below.
Retention
Saved snippets and related content may remain available until you delete them, uninstall the extension, clear the relevant browser storage, or overwrite them through sync, restore, or other storage actions.
Technical and diagnostic information may be retained for a reasonable period for operational, security, and product-improvement purposes.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by Permanent Clipboard. However, no method of transmission, browser storage, synchronization, or remote storage is completely secure or fully free from failure.
Third-Party Links and Services
The website or extension may link to or rely on third-party services. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, or data handling.
Children's Privacy
Permanent Clipboard is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date above.
Sub-processors
We use the following third-party service providers to operate the Service. Where required under GDPR, data processing agreements are in place with each provider.
- Google (Firebase Authentication, Firebase Hosting, Google Cloud Storage) — user authentication, website hosting, and asset storage
- Neon (PostgreSQL database) — cloud database for user data storage
- Stripe (payment processing) — subscription billing and payment handling
Each provider processes data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection agreements.
