TREX
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority. Learn how TREX protects your data with complete transparency.
Privacy-First by Design
TREX Clipboard Manager is built with privacy as a fundamental principle. Unlike many apps, we believe your clipboard data should stay on your device, under your control. This policy explains our privacy practices in clear, simple terms.
What Data We Collect
Your Clipboard Data
Stored 100% locally on your Mac. Your clipboard history, favorites, and all content remain on your device. We have no access to this data, and it never leaves your computer.
Website Data Only
Our website uses standard web analytics (Google Analytics) to understand visitor patterns. This helps us improve our website and documentation. The application itself collects no data.
How We Use Your Data
Clipboard Data
Used solely for the app's functionality on your device. We never access, transmit, or analyze your clipboard content.
Website Analytics
Help us understand website usage to improve our documentation and user experience.
Contact Forms
Used only to respond to your inquiries and provide support. Never shared with third parties.
No App Tracking
The TREX application itself collects no usage data, crash reports, or analytics. Complete privacy.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
What We DON'T Do
- Sell your data to anyone
- Share clipboard content with third parties
- Use your data for advertising
- Store your clipboard data on our servers
- Track your clipboard usage patterns
Limited Sharing Scenarios
We may share minimal, non-personal data only in these situations:
- Website analytics with Google Analytics (website visitors only, not app usage)
- Legal compliance if required by law (though this has never occurred)
Data Security
Local File Storage
Data stored in standard JSON format in your Application Support folder
No Cloud Storage
Everything stays on your device, eliminating cloud security risks
📁 Technical Details
Your clipboard data is stored as a JSON file at: /Library/Application Support/Trex/clipboardHistory.json
The data is stored in plain text format and protected by your macOS user account permissions. As an open-source application, TREX is not code-signed by Apple.
Your Privacy Rights (GDPR Compliance)
Under EU/Dutch Law (GDPR)
As a Netherlands-based service, we comply with GDPR. Because your data stays on your device, you have complete control:
- Right to Access: All your data is accessible through the app interface
- Right to Portability: Export your clipboard history at any time
- Right to Erasure: Clear individual items or entire history instantly
- Right to Object: No tracking or profiling occurs
- Data Minimization: Only necessary data is collected
🇳🇱 Netherlands Jurisdiction
This service is operated from the Netherlands and complies with Dutch and EU privacy laws. Since all clipboard data is stored locally on your device, most data protection concerns are inherently addressed by our architecture.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do:
- We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top
- Significant changes will be announced on our website
- App updates will include policy change notifications if relevant
