Privacy Policy

What We Collect

Nothing. Pastry has no account, no analytics, no crash reporting and no servers. It does not have permission to use the network at all.

What Stays on Your Mac

• Your clipboard history: text, links and images
• Your collections and the names you give items
• The text Pastry reads from screenshots, and the titles it gives them
• Your settings and app rules

Screenshot reading and naming use Apple's on-device Vision and Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent to Apple or anyone else to do it.

How Your Privacy Is Protected

Secrets Expire

One-time codes, API keys and card numbers are deleted automatically after a time you choose, five minutes by default.

Password Managers Are Respected

Anything an app marks as private or temporary, as password managers do, is never saved.

Links and Photos Are Cleaned

Tracking codes are removed from links you copy, and location and camera details are removed from images, without changing the picture.

Hidden from Screen Sharing

Pastry keeps its window out of screenshots, screen sharing and most recordings.

Purchases

The one-time unlock is an in-app purchase handled by Apple. Pastry learns only that the purchase exists. It never sees your name, your email address or your payment details.

Accessibility Access

If you choose to let Pastry paste directly into other apps, macOS asks you to grant Accessibility access. Pastry uses it only to press Command-V for you. It is optional, and Pastry works without it.

Data You Control

You can delete any item, clear your history from Settings, or delete the app to remove everything it stored.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy ever changes, this page and the app's description in the App Store will be updated.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to get in touch. The short version is simple: what you copy stays on your Mac.
