Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 24/08/2026

Short version: Clipcro stores all your notes and clipboard history only on your device. We never sell your data. The only information sent externally is anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics/Firebase Analytics and advertising data via Google AdMob.

1. Introduction

Clipcro ("we", "us", or "the App") is a text snippet manager that helps you save, organize, and quickly copy text. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Stays on your device

The following content is created by you and stored exclusively on your device in an encrypted database. It is never sent to our servers.

  • Notes and snippets — text content and titles you save
  • Folders — names and colors you assign
  • Tags — labels you create to organize notes

2.2 Clipboard Content

Stays on your device

Each time you open the App or bring it to the foreground, Clipcro reads the current text on your device's clipboard and saves it locally in your clipboard history.

This text is never transmitted externally.

You can clear your entire clipboard history at any time from: Settings → Clear Local Data

2.3 Usage Analytics

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used in aggregate. The following anonymized events are logged:

EventWhat it contains

Sequential copy started/finishedNumber of items; whether all were completed

Important: None of these events contain your note content, note titles, clipboard text, or any personally identifiable information.

Firebase Analytics also automatically collects:

  • Device model
  • OS version
  • App version

  • A randomly generated app instance ID

This is standard Firebase behavior. Firebase Privacy

2.4 Advertising

When a crash occurs, non-personally identifiable information such as:

  • Device model
