Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 23, 2026
Cliporin does not collect, transmit, or sell your data. Everything the App stores stays on your Mac. There is no account, no analytics, and no network connectivity.
Cliporin ("the App") is a menu-bar clipboard manager for macOS, developed by Lorin Totah. This policy explains what information the App handles and how it is stored.
Information the App processes
When you use Cliporin, the App may store the following locally on your device:
- Clipboard history — text and, if enabled, images you copy while the App is running.
- Snippets — text you save as permanent snippets.
- Preferences — settings such as history size, language, global shortcut, excluded apps, and launch-at-login.
- Source app identifier — bundle ID of the frontmost app when an item was copied (used only on-device; never transmitted).
This data can include sensitive content if you copy passwords or personal messages. We recommend using Preferences → Privacy to exclude password managers. Cliporin ships with default exclusions for 1Password, Bitwarden, and Keychain Access.
Where data is stored
All App data is saved in macOS UserDefaults for the bundle identifier com.cliporin.app. Data is not synced to iCloud or any server.
To remove all App data, run in Terminal:
defaults delete com.cliporin.app
Permissions
- Clipboard access — required for the App's core function.
- Accessibility — requested only if you enable Auto-paste in Preferences. The Mac App Store version does not offer auto-paste.
- Launch at login — optional; uses macOS Login Items.
What we do not do
- No account registration or sign-in
- No advertising or tracking SDKs
- No sale or sharing of personal information with third parties
- No transmission of clipboard contents to any server
App Store
If you download Cliporin from the Mac App Store, Apple processes purchase information according to Apple's Privacy Policy. That processing is outside our control.
Children
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
