Privacy Policy — UniPaste

1.Who we are

UniPaste is published by Ankit Agrawal, contact ankit@apphealer.ai. The app’s official identifier on both stores is ai.apphealer.unipaste.

If you have a privacy concern, question, or data-subject request, you can reach us at the email above. We aim to respond within 30 days.

2.What UniPaste does

UniPaste keeps the clipboard in sync between Apple and Android devices that you have explicitly paired with each other on your local Wi-Fi network.

The flow you’ll experience:

• The app finds other UniPaste devices on the same Wi-Fi network you’re on.
• Before any clipboard content is shared, you pair two devices by viewing a short matching code on both screens and confirming it.
• Once paired, anything you copy on one device is sent directly to the other paired devices on the same network, in encrypted form, and made available there.
• Your clipboard data never leaves your local network. UniPaste does not send it to any server we run. There is no cloud sync, no internet relay, no backend.

If your devices are not on the same local network (for example, your phone is on cellular and your laptop is on home Wi-Fi), UniPaste does not sync between them — there is no internet fallback.

3.What data UniPaste touches

UniPaste only handles data that is necessary for it to do its job, and only on your devices:

We never receive any of this. UniPaste contains no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no tracking, and no telemetry. There is no point in the app’s normal operation where any of your data is sent to us or to any third party.

4.Permissions UniPaste requests and why

UniPaste only asks for the permissions it actually needs to do clipboard sync. Each one maps to a specific feature you experience.

macOS

• Local network access — so UniPaste can find your other paired devices on the same Wi-Fi network and exchange encrypted clipboard data with them.
• Keychain access — so UniPaste can safely keep the keys that protect your paired connection and your locally-stored history. macOS will ask for your password the first time UniPaste needs to use these.

UniPaste runs inside macOS’s sandbox, which keeps it confined to its own storage area and prevents it from reaching into other apps’ or system files.

Android

• Local network access — same reason as on macOS: to find your other paired devices and exchange encrypted clipboard data with them.
• Foreground service + notification — Android requires apps that do background work (like watching for clipboard changes) to display a small ongoing notification while they’re running. That’s the notification UniPaste posts; it lets the operating system know UniPaste is actively in use and shouldn’t be silently killed.
• Accessibility service — Android restricts apps from reading the clipboard in the background. To make clipboard sync work without requiring you to open the app every time, UniPaste registers a small accessibility service whose only function is to be notified when you copy something so it can be synced. The service does not read the contents of your screen, does not inspect text fields, does not log keystrokes, and does not interact with any other app. You can disable it at any time from Android Settings → Accessibility; clipboard sync will then only work while UniPaste is open in the foreground.

What UniPaste does NOT ask for

UniPaste does not request access to your microphone, camera, location, contacts, calendar, messages, call logs, photos, files outside its own storage, or any other sensitive permission. If you ever see UniPaste asking for one of these, something is wrong — please report it to us.

5.How and where your data is stored

All of your UniPaste data lives on your own devices. Each device keeps it in the private storage area the operating system assigns to UniPaste — that area is isolated from other apps by macOS and Android’s built-in app sandboxes and is not accessible to anyone but UniPaste on that device.

We do not run a server, so there is no copy of your UniPaste data anywhere outside your own devices.

If you have device-level backups enabled (such as Time Machine on a Mac or your Android backup) some UniPaste data may be included in those backups, subject to the privacy and security of the backup system itself. Those backups are governed by Apple’s and Google’s policies, not ours.

6.We do not share your data

We share your data with no one, because we never have it.

UniPaste contains no analytics tools, no crash-reporting services, no advertising, no third-party trackers, no cloud storage integrations, and no third-party sign-in. The only communication UniPaste sends over a network is the encrypted, direct, device-to-device sync between the devices you have explicitly paired on your own network. We cannot see it, we do not log it, we never receive it.

7.Children’s privacy

UniPaste is a general-purpose productivity utility and is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction) because we do not collect personal information from anyone. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child’s information has somehow been collected by us — it has not, because we collect nothing — you can still write to ankit@apphealer.ai and we will respond.

8.International users — GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws

UniPaste handles personal data only on your own devices. Because we do not collect, transmit, or store your data, most data-subject rights under regimes such as the EU’s GDPR, the UK GDPR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, Brazil’s LGPD, and India’s DPDP are exercised entirely on your device:

• Right of access: all your UniPaste data is on your device and visible to you through the app.
• Right to deletion / “right to be forgotten”: clearing UniPaste’s history, leaving a paired group, or uninstalling the app removes the data. We have no copy.
• Right to data portability: your data lives entirely on your devices in a form UniPaste itself controls; we do not operate a service to export from.
• Right to object / withdraw consent: uninstall the app.
• Right to lodge a complaint: with your local data protection authority. We will cooperate fully with any such inquiry.

We do not have a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link because we do not sell personal information — we have no personal information of yours to sell.

9.Security

UniPaste is designed so that clipboard data leaving one of your devices reaches only the devices you have explicitly paired with, and only in encrypted form. Pairing requires you to verify a matching short code on both devices before any data is shared, so an unrelated device on the same network cannot quietly join your group. Removing a device from your paired group prevents that device from receiving any of your future clipboard items.

For the most sensitive use, pair your devices on a trusted home or office network rather than on shared public Wi-Fi.

No software is unconditionally secure. If you discover a security issue, please email ankit@apphealer.ai before public disclosure so we can address it responsibly.

10.Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to how UniPaste handles your data, we will:

• Update the “Last updated” date at the top of this document.
• For substantive changes — for example, if a future version were ever to introduce any kind of off-device data flow, which is not currently planned — show a notice inside the app the next time you open it.

11.Contact

For all matters — privacy questions, data-subject requests, security reports, or general contact — please email ankit@apphealer.ai.
