PasteBoard Pro - Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
PasteBoard Pro is a smart clipboard manager and text toolkit designed to help users capture, organize, and transform text easily. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Important Note:
- No login or signup is required to use the app.
- All clipboard processing happens 100% offline, directly on your device.
- PasteBoard Pro is free to use and is supported by ads.
Clipboard Processing & Privacy
PasteBoard Pro processes and stores your clipboard history locally on your device. We do not access, store, or transmit your copied text, passwords, or personal data to any external servers.
How PasteBoard Pro Accesses Your Clipboard
Starting with Android 10, apps running in the background are restricted from reading the system clipboard for privacy reasons. To reliably capture your copied text, PasteBoard Pro includes its own keyboard (input method). When PasteBoard Pro's keyboard is set as your active keyboard, it can access clipboard content while you're typing — the same standard approach used by other clipboard manager apps to work around this Android restriction.
You are never required to use PasteBoard Pro's keyboard for everyday typing — you can switch back to Gboard or any other keyboard at any time from your device's keyboard settings. Clipboard capture is limited to detecting copied text; PasteBoard Pro's keyboard does not log, record, or transmit anything you type.
