Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This policy covers the Magic Clipboard Android app (package com.clipboard.magic), including its Magic Keyboard, in both the Google Play version and the version you download from this website. It also covers this website, magicclipboard.iovii.com. Magic Clipboard is made by Iovii ("we", "us"). Contact: iovii@outlook.com.

2. What the app reads, and when

• Clipboard: only when you tap the floating bubble, Check clipboard, the Quick Settings tile, the widget or the app shortcut, once each time. The app does not use Android's Accessibility service. The one exception is Magic Keyboard, below.
• Selected or shared text: only the text you pick “Quick actions” or “Share” for.
• Images you share, and Scan screen: when you share a screenshot or photo with the app, or tap Scan screen and agree in Android's prompt, the app reads the text in that image on your phone. Scan screen takes a single picture each time you agree; nothing is recorded. Images are never uploaded. A small preview is kept in History.
• Notifications (off unless you turn it on): with Settings → Watch notifications on and Notification access granted, the app reads the text of notifications you receive, on your phone. If a message contains a phone number, email, link, address, date, amount or encoded message, it copies the message to your clipboard (replacing what was there) and saves it in History. Its own notifications, ongoing and system notifications, calls, one-time codes and other private-looking text are ignored. Notification text is never sent anywhere.
• New screenshots (download version only, off unless you turn it on): with Settings → Detect screenshots on and photo access allowed, while the bubble runs the app checks new screenshots only, reads their text on your phone, and saves the text and a small preview in History. Other photos are not read. The Google Play version doesn't include this feature or ask for photo access.
• Never: your contacts, location, calendar, files, SMS database or call log. Actions that save a contact or add an event hand the details to your contacts or calendar app, where you save them yourself.

3. Magic Keyboard

Magic Keyboard is optional. It does nothing until you turn it on in Android's keyboard settings and choose it as your keyboard. While it is your keyboard:

• It types what you tap, and never stores, learns or sends it. There is no keystroke log, no history of typed text and no network access from the keyboard.
• It reads the text in the field you are typing in only when you tap Magic, Encode or Change case. Live answers, word suggestions and autocorrect look at the line you are typing as you type. All of this stays in the phone's memory and is gone when you move on.
• Word suggestions and autocorrect use a word list built into the app. The keyboard doesn't learn your words or build a personal dictionary.
• In password fields, and in fields that ask keyboards not to learn (such as incognito browser tabs), the tools and suggestions are off and nothing is read.
• Copies: Android lets the keyboard you are using notice when something is copied. Magic Keyboard reads each new copy once, so the bubble can glow and the copy can be kept in History on your phone. Copies that the copying app marks as sensitive, and copies that look private (see section 5), are not saved. Copies Magic Clipboard makes itself are skipped.

4. Where it's analysed

On your phone. Phone numbers are recognised with Google's open-source libphonenumber library. Addresses, dates and the text in images use Google ML Kit, which runs on the device through Google Play services. Google Play services may download ML Kit's models the first time they are needed; Google's terms apply to that download, and no text from you is sent with it. Calculations, conversions and encoding are done by the app itself.

We don't keep what you copied after the panel closes, except in History on your phone (section 8).

5. Private-looking text

If text looks like a card number, bank account number (IBAN), one-time code or password, or Android marks it as sensitive, the app doesn't analyse it or save it to History, and offers to clear your clipboard.

6. When you pick an action

The text goes only to the app you chose, using Android's standard sharing and intents: for example an address to your maps app, a phone number to your dialler or WhatsApp, or an email address to your email app. Calls, messages and calendar events open filled in for you to check; the app never completes them for you. What those apps do with the text is covered by their own privacy policies.

To show only actions you can use, the app checks whether a few named apps are installed (such as WhatsApp, Google Maps, Waze, Uber and Careem) and lists apps that can open a location when you pick a Maps or Ride app. When you hold the space bar, Magic Keyboard lists the keyboards you have turned on. It does not scan all your apps, and this information isn't stored or sent anywhere.

7. What uses the internet

• Exchange rates: at most once a day the app downloads public exchange rates from Frankfurter (api.frankfurter.dev). The request asks for rates only and contains nothing about you or your content. Like any web server, Frankfurter can see your IP address.
• Links you open go to your browser or the app you chose, as if you had tapped them yourself.
• Nothing else in this version. Magic Keyboard never uses the internet.

8. What stays on your phone

• History: the last 50 texts you showed the app, including copies Magic Keyboard noticed, watched notifications and the text of screenshots and scans, with small previews. You can delete items, clear it, or turn it off (which deletes it). Private-looking text is never saved.
• Your settings: region, currencies, tax rate, preferred apps, appearance and which features are on.
• How often you use each kind of action, to show your favourites first. These are counts per action type, never content.
• The latest exchange rates.
• Bubble settings, and counts of how often it was stopped, to help with troubleshooting.

Everything is kept in the app's private storage. The app opts out of Android cloud backup and device transfer, so none of it is copied off your phone. Settings → Clear all data deletes it, and uninstalling the app removes everything.

9. Ads, analytics and crash reports

This version has no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting. If a future version adds any of them, we will update this policy first, say which services are used and what they collect, and give you choices where the law requires. What you copy, select, share or type will never be included.

10. Permissions

You can withdraw any of them at any time in Android's settings or the app's Settings → Permissions.

11. Sharing and selling

We don't collect personal data from the app, so we don't share or sell it. The app has no account, and we can't see your History, settings or anything you type.

12. Your choices and rights

Your data stays on your phone and under your control: you can view and delete History in the app, clear all data in Settings, turn off any optional feature, or uninstall the app. Because we don't hold your data, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side, but you are welcome to ask us anything about privacy at iovii@outlook.com. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or US state privacy laws), you may also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

13. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone.

14. This website

This website has no cookies, no analytics and no third-party content; its fonts and images are served from this site. Like any web server, our host may keep standard access logs (such as IP address, browser and pages visited) for a short time for security and to keep the site running. We don't use them to identify you.

15. Changes and contact

We will update this page when the app changes what it does with data, and change the date at the top. Questions or requests: iovii@outlook.com, with “Privacy” in the subject.
