Clipora is a Chrome extension that records text you copy in the browser and stores it locally so you can search and re-use your clipboard history. This policy explains, in plain language, what that means for your privacy.
The short version: Clipora stores everything on your own device. Nothing is ever sent to us, or to anyone else. We do not have a server. We do not see your data. We cannot see your data.
Clipora is developed and maintained by the Clipora developer (reachable at to@allahabadi.dev). In this document, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Clipora developer. “You” refers to anyone who installs and uses the Clipora Chrome extension.
Clipora processes two categories of information, and only when you actively use the extension:
a. Copied text (clipboard contents). When you perform a copy action (Ctrl+C, Cmd+C, right-click → Copy, or equivalent) on a web page in Chrome, Clipora records the copied text into its local history.
b. Source metadata for each copy event. At the moment of a copy event, Clipora also records:
No other information about the page (its body content, form fields, cookies, saved passwords, browsing history, etc.) is read or stored.
All Clipora data is stored locally on your device, inside your Chrome profile, using the browser’s IndexedDB storage API.
The unlimitedStorage permission, if declared in the extension manifest, is used solely to let the browser allocate enough space for a long local clipboard history. It does not enable any network transmission.
Your Clipora data is used exclusively to provide the features of the extension you have chosen to install:
Clipora does not use your data for advertising, profiling, content recommendation, machine-learning training, creditworthiness analysis, or any other purpose.
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data. We do not transfer your data to any third party for any purpose, including advertising, analytics, or lending decisions.
This is not a policy commitment we make despite having your data — we simply do not have your data to sell or share. It never leaves your browser.
Clipora does not use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, fingerprinting, third-party analytics SDKs, or any other tracking technologies. The extension makes no network requests of any kind during normal operation.
Clipora requests the minimum Chrome extension permissions needed to function. For each permission, here is what it is used for — and what it is not used for:
clipboardRead / clipboardWrite — to read text you copy (so it can be saved in history) and to write a selected history item back to your clipboard when you click “Copy again.” Clipora does not read your clipboard in the background or when you are not actively copying.activeTab — to read only the URL and title of the currently focused tab at the moment of a copy event, so each snippet shows its source. Clipora does not read page contents, scripts, DOM, or any other tab data.storage — to persist your clipboard history locally across browser sessions.unlimitedStorage (if requested) — to allow your local clipboard history to grow beyond Chrome’s default extension storage quota. Used only for local storage; no network transmission is involved.Because everything is stored locally, you control your data directly:
You do not need to contact us to exercise any of the above. You do not need an account. We cannot access your history to delete it on your behalf, because we don’t have it.
Clipora is a general-purpose productivity tool. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly process data from children under 13. Because Clipora does not transmit any data off-device, no data about any user — of any age — is received or retained by us.
Your Clipora data inherits the security posture of your Chrome profile. Because data never leaves your device, the relevant threats are ones that would compromise your device itself — such as another person with physical access to your unlocked computer, or malware running on your operating system.
We recommend standard hygiene: use a screen lock, keep Chrome updated, review installed extensions periodically, and avoid copying highly sensitive data (passwords, full credit card numbers, etc.) if you are concerned about local persistence. You can clear sensitive items from Clipora immediately via the popup.
If we change how Clipora processes data — for example, if a future version ever adds an optional sync feature — we will update this policy and update the “Last updated” date at the top. Any change that introduces new data collection, processing, or transmission will be announced in the extension’s changelog and in the extension’s Chrome Web Store listing description before the change takes effect.
We will never silently start sending your data anywhere.

We try to respond to privacy inquiries within a reasonable time. Because Clipora has no servers and no user records, most “please delete my data” requests can be handled by you directly in seconds — see Section 8.
