Privacy policy

What you put in a room

Text and files you add to a room are stored so that the room's members can see them. They are deleted when the room expires, which is 5 minutes to 7 days after it was created. They are deleted earlier when someone removes them, or when any member ends the room, which deletes the room and everything in it straight away.

Anyone with the link to a public room can read it. Room content is encrypted in transit and at rest. Use a private room for anything sensitive.

Your email address

You only need an email address to create or open private rooms. We use it to:

• Send you sign-in codes. A code and the record of codes sent are deleted within an hour.
• Check that you are invited to a private room. A private room keeps its owner's and invited people's addresses until it expires or is ended.
• Keep your recent rooms, so you can find them on any device. The list holds each room's code, whether it is private, when it expires and when you last opened it. Each entry is deleted when its room expires or is ended, and you can remove entries or clear the list at any time.

Signing in gives your browser a cookie, or rclip a token, that holds your email address and lasts 30 days. It is stored on your device, not by us. Signing out removes it.

Cookies and local storage

We set one cookie, rc_session, and only when you sign in. Your browser also remembers your light or dark mode choice, and the rooms you created or opened recently, until each room expires. These stay on your device. We use no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

Technical data

Like any website, our servers see your IP address and browser details when you connect. We use IP addresses to limit how often rooms can be created, joined and uploaded to, and to limit sign-in attempts. Our hosting provider keeps request logs for a short time to run and protect the service.

Who processes your data

Remote Clipboard runs on Cloudflare, which hosts the app, stores rooms and files, and sends sign-in emails. Data may be processed in any country where Cloudflare operates. We do not sell your data or share it with anyone else, unless the law requires it.

Your choices

You can remove text and files from a room, or end the room to delete everything in it, at any time. Everything else expires on its own. To ask what we hold about you, or to have it deleted sooner, email support@remoteclipboard.com.

Changes

If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
