Plain Paste Privacy Policy
Plain Paste is private by design. The app only reads text that you explicitly paste into the app. Clipboard history is stored locally on your device, can be cleared whenever you want, and does not leave your device.
Overview
Plain Paste is a utility for removing formatting from copied text and keeping a local history of cleaned text items. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles and how it is protected.
Information Plain Paste Handles
Plain Paste handles text that you explicitly paste into the app. When you paste text into Plain Paste, the app cleans the text by removing rich text formatting and copies the plain-text version back to your clipboard.
If clipboard history is enabled, Plain Paste also saves cleaned text items in a local clipboard history on your device so you can copy them again later.
Information We Do Not Collect
Plain Paste does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal information. In the current version of the app:
- No account is required.
- No analytics are collected.
- No advertising identifiers are used.
- No tracking is performed.
- No clipboard history or pasted text is sent to a server.
Clipboard Access
Plain Paste only reads and cleans text that you explicitly paste into the app. It does not monitor your clipboard in the background and does not automatically read clipboard contents without your paste action.
Clipboard History
Clipboard history is stored locally on your device. It is used only to let you access and reuse your recent cleaned text items inside Plain Paste.
You can turn clipboard history off in the app. You can also clear your clipboard history whenever you want. Clearing history removes the saved items from the app's local storage on your device.
Data Storage and Security
Plain Paste stores clipboard history locally using the storage provided by iOS and iPadOS. Because the app does not send pasted text or clipboard history to any external server, that content remains on your device unless you choose to copy, paste, export, back up, or otherwise share it outside the app.
Third-Party Services
Plain Paste does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services in the current version of the app.
Children's Privacy
Plain Paste is not designed to collect information from anyone, including children. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if Plain Paste changes how it handles information. When the policy changes, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated.
