Privacy Policy

Clipboard Sanitizer collects no data about you. It has no network permission, contains no networking code, and has no account, no analytics and no server to send anything to. Your clipboard is read, cleaned and written back on your own Mac, and it works with the Wi-Fi turned off.

When the clipboard changes, the app reads its contents, removes the characters your rules cover, and writes the result back. That all happens in memory, on your Mac, in the moment. The app keeps no clipboard history: nothing you copy is written to disk, logged, or retained after the next copy replaces it.

Clipboard items marked concealed or transient, the markers password managers apply to a copied password, are never read for cleaning and never modified, whatever your settings say.

  • Your settings: which rule groups are switched on, and any per-app include or exclude rules you have set.
  • A list of up to fifty applications recently seen copying: the app name, its bundle identifier and when it was last seen. This exists so the settings picker can offer real apps to choose from rather than making you type identifiers by hand.

Both live inside the app's sandbox container on your Mac, alongside the preferences of every other sandboxed app. Removing that container removes them.

  • It never sends your clipboard, or anything else, over a network.
  • It never asks you to create an account or sign in.
  • It never runs analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or advertising code.
  • It never sells or shares data, because it never collects any.

This is not a promise you have to take on trust. The app runs in the macOS sandbox and declares exactly two entitlements: the sandbox itself, and read-only access to files you explicitly choose. Network access is not among them, so macOS would refuse the connection even if the code tried to open one. It does not try: there is no networking code in the app.
