PasteKit Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-18 Last updated: 2026-10-18

PasteKit ("PasteKit" or "the app") is an iOS clipboard manager with a custom keyboard. It is made by Ihwan, an independent developer ("I", "me"). This policy describes what PasteKit handles, where that information is stored, who can access it, and how you can delete it.

Summary

• Your clips are stored on your device. I don't run a server that receives your clips.
• The PasteKit keyboard doesn't record your keystrokes and doesn't send what you type anywhere.
• iCloud Backup & Sync is optional and requires PasteKit Pro. It stores your clips in the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account. I can't read that database.
• Export files are created only when you tap Export, and you decide where they go.
• Apple processes purchases. RevenueCat checks them and receives an anonymous app user ID and your purchase information. It never receives your clips.
• PasteKit has no ads, no tracking, and no analytics SDK. You don't need an account.

1. Information stored on your device

What: the clips you save (text, images, and optional titles), your categories (names and colors), pin status, custom order, creation and modification dates, and app settings. Settings include keyboard preferences, the keyboard's last category, filter, layout, and scroll position, whether auto-save is on, and your last known PasteKit Pro status.

Where: this information lives in the app's App Group container on your device. Only the PasteKit app and its own extensions can use that container: the PasteKit keyboard, the Share extension, and the Home Screen widget. Sharing the container lets each of them show the same clips.

None of this information is sent to me.

If PasteKit can't save clips permanently (for example, if the on-device store can't be opened), the app shows a warning. Clips added while the warning is showing may be lost when the app closes.

2. The PasteKit keyboard and "Allow Full Access"

iOS requires a custom keyboard to have Allow Full Access before it can read data shared with its app (your saved clips) or use the system clipboard. When you turn it on, iOS shows a general warning that a keyboard with Full Access could send what you type. Here is what the PasteKit keyboard actually does:

• Reads your saved clips from the App Group container so it can show, search, and insert them.
• Inserts text clips into the text field you're typing in. Copies image clips to the system clipboard so you can paste them yourself, because iOS keyboards can't insert images directly.
• Reads the system clipboard only when:
  • you tap Save Clipboard, or
  • you turn on Auto-save when keyboard opens (off by default). With auto-save on, the keyboard checks for newly copied text or an image each time it appears and saves it as a clip. Items that password managers mark as passwords or one-time codes are never saved automatically.
• Doesn't record keystrokes. Letters you type with PasteKit's keys either go into the current text field through iOS or, when you search, are used on your device to filter your clips. They aren't logged, stored, or sent anywhere.
• Doesn't send your clips or typed text to me or to anyone else.

3. The PasteKit app, Share extension, and widget

• Share extension: receives only the text, links, or images you choose to share to PasteKit. It saves them as clips in the category you pick.
• Clipboard check in the app: when you open or return to the PasteKit app, it can check the clipboard for new text and show a banner offering to save it. Nothing is saved unless you tap to save. You can turn this off with Settings → Offer to Save Copied Text. iOS may also ask whether to allow pasting from other apps. This check happens only while the PasteKit app is open; PasteKit doesn't watch the clipboard in the background.
• Home Screen widget: uses only the data stored on your device.

4. iCloud Backup & Sync (optional, PasteKit Pro)

iCloud Backup & Sync is off unless you turn it on. When it's on:

• Your clips are stored in the private CloudKit database of your iCloud account. This includes text, images, titles, categories, pin status, order, and dates. Small deletion records are stored too: a random identifier and a deletion date, so that deleting a clip on one device also deletes it on your other devices.
• Only someone signed in to your Apple Account can access this private database. I can't access, read, or export it. Apple's iCloud terms and privacy policy apply to that data.
• Sync spreads deletions to all your devices. Deleting a clip while sync is on also removes it from your iCloud copy. Sync isn't a version history, so a deleted clip can't be brought back from iCloud. For a copy you control, use Export (section 5).

To remove all PasteKit data from iCloud, open iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage (the wording differs between iOS versions). Then choose PasteKit if it's listed and delete its data.

5. Export and import

• Export (Settings) creates a JSON file with your clips only when you tap Export. You choose where the file goes, for example Files or AirDrop. PasteKit doesn't upload it anywhere. The file contains your clip content, so keep it somewhere safe.
• Import reads only the file you select and adds its clips to PasteKit on your device.

6. Purchases: Apple and RevenueCat

• Apple processes all payments. I don't receive your name, your Apple Account email, or your payment details.
• PasteKit uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) to check purchases, restore purchases, and keep track of whether PasteKit Pro is active. RevenueCat receives:
  • an anonymous app user ID created by the RevenueCat SDK, which isn't linked to your name or email, and
  • purchase information: the product, transaction and receipt details, and subscription status.

RevenueCat may also receive technical details that come with any network request, such as app version, iOS version, storefront or locale, and IP address. - Only the PasteKit app contacts RevenueCat. The keyboard and Share extension read your last known Pro status from the device. - I use RevenueCat's dashboard to see combined purchase and subscription figures (for example, the number of active subscriptions). RevenueCat never receives your clips or anything you type. - RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

7. What PasteKit does not do

• No ads and no advertising networks.
• No tracking across other companies' apps or websites. PasteKit doesn't use the advertising identifier (IDFA).
• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple may give me crash reports and combined usage statistics under Apple's own privacy policy.
• I don't sell or rent personal information.
• No sign-up or account is required.

8. Keeping and deleting your information

• One clip: delete it in the app.
• Everything on your device: delete the PasteKit app. This removes the app, its keyboard, Share extension, and widget, and the clips stored in its App Group container on that device.
• iCloud copy: see section 4.
• Exported files: delete them wherever you saved them.
• Purchase records: Apple keeps its own records of your purchases, which you can manage in your Apple Account. To ask RevenueCat to delete the record linked to your anonymous app user ID, email me and I'll handle it with RevenueCat. Your purchase still exists with Apple, so it can be restored afterwards.
• Support emails: if you email me, I keep your email address and message only as long as I need them to help you and keep basic support records. You can ask me to delete them.

9. Children

PasteKit isn't directed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or move your personal information, or to object to how it's processed. Examples include the EU/UK GDPR, Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU No. 27 Tahun 2022), and Korea's Personal Information Protection Act. Your clips are stored on your device or in your own iCloud account, so you can view, export, and delete them yourself at any time. For anything else, email ihwan@pemrogramkode.my.id.

11. Security

Clips on your device are protected by iOS's built-in data protection. Clips in iCloud are protected by Apple's iCloud security. No method of storage is perfectly secure, so treat exported backup files as you would any private document.

12. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, I'll update this page and the "Last updated" date. If a change significantly affects how your information is handled, I'll also mention it in the app's release notes.
