Core Commitment

Clipz is a local-first clipboard manager. Your clipboard content, search index, clip history, and application settings never leave your device. We do not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data.

Data Storage and Security

All copied text, images, and clips are stored strictly on your local file system within an SQLite database.

  • Local Database: SQLite FTS5 stores history locally in your user profile directory.
  • Encryption: Sensitive clips marked as private are encrypted on disk using Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI), bound exclusively to your Windows user account.
  • No External Servers: Clipz operates without remote database synchronization or cloud backup servers.

Telemetry and Analytics

Clipz contains zero analytics software, zero tracking scripts, and zero crash-reporting telemetry SDKs. The application makes no background network requests during standard operation.

Third-Party Services

The Clipz desktop application does not integrate with third-party tracking services or data brokers. If you visit this website, web hosting logs (such as IP addresses and user agents) may be processed by our static site host solely for network delivery and security enforcement.

Open Source Transparency

Clipz is open source under the MIT license. You can inspect the complete source code, audit database routines, and verify network behavior on our GitHub repository.
