Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
ClipboardPortal lets you copy text, links, images, audio, video and files on one device and paste them on another. This page explains what we handle and why. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
- Your clips: the text, links and files you send, with their names, types, sizes, time and the device type (for example Android or Mac).
- Account data: an anonymous account ID. If you choose to save your account, your email and a password stored only as a salted hash.
- Device presence: a random device ID and device type, kept only while a device is connected, so we can show which devices are online.
- Technical data: your IP address and basic request logs, used for security and rate limiting.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data or show ads.
- We do not read your clips for advertising or profiling.
- We do not use cookies for tracking. We use one sign-in cookie to keep you signed in, and local storage on your device for settings.
Google Drive (optional)
If you tap Connect Google Drive, we ask for the drive.file permission only. It lets ClipboardPortal create and manage the files it creates in a "ClipboardPortal" folder in your Drive. We cannot see any other file in your Drive. We store a refresh token so we can copy new clips there until you disconnect. ClipboardPortal's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Disconnecting stops new copies; files already in Drive stay there until you delete them.
Retention and deletion
Clips are deleted automatically after 30 days. You can delete any clip at any time, and you can delete your whole account and all clips from the menu in the app. Deleting a clip also removes its copy in your connected Google Drive folder.
Where data is stored
Clips are stored on our hosting provider's servers (currently Render, Frankfurt, EU). Data is sent over HTTPS. Clips are not end-to-end encrypted at this time, so do not send secrets you cannot risk exposing.
Sharing
We share data only with the infrastructure providers needed to run the service, with Google if you connect Drive, or if the law requires it.
Children
ClipboardPortal is not intended for children under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above.
