Clip Vault Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Clip Vault browser extension published by ExtHive, on every browser where it is distributed.

It does not cover the websites you use Clip Vault on. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and using our extension does not change how they treat your data.

The general ExtHive Privacy Policy covers everything not specific to this extension, including your rights and how to exercise them.

The final permission set for Clip Vault will be published here before release, with an explanation of the feature that requires each one.

The table below lists every category of data Clip Vault touches, how it is handled, and whether it ever leaves your device. Only if enabled means it stays local unless you turn on a feature that needs otherwise, or are on a plan that includes one.

Clipboard contents are about as sensitive as browser data gets — passwords, tokens and half-written messages all pass through it. We have therefore designed Clip Vault with no account and no server component, and we do not intend to offer clipboard sync. If that ever changes, it would be end-to-end encrypted, strictly opt-in, and announced here before it shipped rather than after.

There is no account, no login and no server-side component, so there is no category of data here to describe.

To be explicit, Clip Vault does not collect, transmit or store any of the following:

• your browsing history or the list of sites you visit;
• the content of pages you view, beyond the moment-in-time processing described above;
• keystroke logs or clipboard contents;
• device fingerprints, advertising identifiers or location data;
• anything used to build an advertising or behavioural profile.

We do not sell data, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not use your content to train machine learning models.

Clip Vault uses your browser’s extension storage to keep your preferences. That storage is sandboxed to the extension: other websites and other extensions cannot read it.

You can clear it at any time from the extension’s settings, or by removing the extension. Uninstalling deletes all local extension data permanently.

We hold no copy of any of it, so once it is gone from your device it is gone entirely.

If you enable your browser’s built-in extension sync, your browser vendor — not ExtHive — may sync those preferences across your own devices under their privacy policy.

Clip Vault has not been released. Its data practices will be documented in full on this page before the extension ships.

Extension stores require developers to declare their data handling. Our declarations for Clip Vault state that we do not sell or transfer user data to third parties beyond the approved use cases, do notuse or transfer it for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose, and do not use or transfer it to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Those declarations match this policy. If you ever find a discrepancy between what a store listing says and what this page says, please tell us at privacy@exthive.com and we will correct it.

Because Clip Vaultkeeps your data on your own device by default, you can exercise most privacy rights directly: view your data in the extension’s settings, export it where an export exists, and delete it by clearing storage or uninstalling.

For any personal data we do hold, such as a support email you have sent us, write to privacy@exthive.com. Your full set of rights, and the timeframes we work to, are set out in the general Privacy Policy.

If Clip Vault’s data handling changes, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change ships. A change that would send data off your device where it previously did not will always be announced in advance and, where the law requires, made subject to your consent.
