Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 15, 2026

CopyPasteBox does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Everything stays on your device.

What CopyPasteBox Does

CopyPasteBox is a clipboard history manager for macOS. It monitors your system clipboard and saves a local history of items you copy, so you can access them later.

Data Storage

All clipboard data is stored locally on your Mac using Apple's SwiftData framework. This includes:

Text content you copy to the clipboard
Timestamps of when items were copied
Favorite status of saved items
The bundle identifier of the app you copied from

This data never leaves your device. There are no servers, no cloud sync, and no analytics.

Data Collection

CopyPasteBox does not collect any personal information. Specifically:

No data is transmitted over the network
No analytics or tracking of any kind
No crash reports sent externally
No third-party SDKs or services
No account creation required

Clipboard Access

CopyPasteBox reads your system clipboard to provide its core functionality. It uses the macOS NSPasteboard API to detect new clipboard content. You can control this behavior:

Blacklist specific apps in Preferences to prevent their clipboard content from being saved
Password manager entries marked as transient are automatically ignored
Clear your entire history at any time from the menu
Delete individual items at any time

Data Retention

Clipboard history is kept locally until you delete it or it exceeds your configured limit (default: 80 items). Oldest non-favorite items are automatically pruned. You can clear all history at any time.

Third-Party Services

CopyPasteBox uses no third-party services, frameworks, or dependencies beyond Apple's own system frameworks (AppKit, SwiftUI, SwiftData).

Children's Privacy

CopyPasteBox does not collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since CopyPasteBox collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
