Privacy by architecture, not by promise.
Most privacy policies describe what companies choose not to do with your data. Ours describes what is architecturally impossible.
Architecturally impossible to phone home.
This isn't a policy promise — it's a code fact. QuietClip ships with zero networking code. There is no URL, no endpoint, no socket. The app cannot reach the internet because we never wrote the code that would let it.
- No server. QuietClip has no server, no backend, no API. There is no infrastructure to breach.
- No network. Zero network connections — not on launch, not ever. The app contains no networking code.
- No telemetry. No analytics, no crash reporters, no identifiers. We literally don't know how many users we have.
- No accounts. No sign-up, no email collection, no device fingerprinting. Download it, use it, done.
- No dependencies. Pure Apple frameworks — SwiftUI, SwiftData, AppKit. Zero third-party code to audit.
- Local only. Your clipboard history lives in a local SwiftData store. Delete the app and it's completely gone.
Formal privacy policy
The legal version. Kept short because there's genuinely nothing to disclose.
Data we collect
None. QuietClip does not collect, transmit, or store any data outside your Mac.
Clipboard data
Your clipboard history is stored locally in SwiftData on your device. It is never transmitted anywhere. You can clear it at any time from within the app.
Analytics & tracking
None. QuietClip contains no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, and no usage tracking of any kind.
Network connections
QuietClip makes zero network connections. The app contains no networking code — no URLSession, no sockets, no HTTP calls.
Third-party services
None. QuietClip has zero external dependencies. It is built entirely with Apple's first-party frameworks.
Mac App Store
Apple may collect anonymized analytics if you have opted in via macOS Settings > Privacy > Analytics. This is controlled entirely by Apple, not by QuietClip.
Excluded apps
When you configure excluded apps, that configuration is stored locally on your device. QuietClip cannot read the content of excluded apps — it only knows not to record clipboard changes that originate from them.
Data retention
All data is stored locally on your Mac. Uninstalling QuietClip removes all stored data.
Children's privacy
QuietClip does not collect any data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change this policy, we will update this page with the date. Given our architecture, meaningful changes are unlikely.
