Summary

HekaCopy is a clipboard history extension that stores all data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data or clipboard content. The extension performs no network requests.

What data HekaCopy handles

HekaCopy handles only the text you explicitly choose to save. Text can enter the clipboard history via:

  • The context menu option “Save to HekaCopy” (always enabled)
  • The “Save on text selection” feature, when enabled by the user (Alt + selection, or Ctrl+Shift+C)
  • The “Capture all copy operations” feature, when enabled by the user (captures every Ctrl+C, right-click Copy, or equivalent operation performed inside the browser)

This may include any content present on web pages you interact with, including user-generated text, public information, or personal data you intentionally copy. When the “Capture all copy operations” feature is enabled, any text you copy inside the browser — including potentially sensitive data like passwords (except from fields explicitly marked as passwords, which are automatically skipped), personal identifiers, or confidential content — will be stored in the local clipboard history. Users should use this feature with care and periodically review or clear their clipboard history.

The extension also stores your preferences (language, theme, blacklist, maximum items, feature toggles) and the hostname of the page where each clipboard entry was captured (for display purposes only).

Sites added to the blacklist are never read or captured, regardless of which features are enabled.

Where the data is stored

Chrome: All data is stored exclusively on your device using Chrome’s extension storage APIs (chrome.storage.local for pinned items and settings, chrome.storage.session for the session history). Data never leaves your device and is not accessible by any remote server or third party. Pinned items persist across browser restarts. Non-pinned items are cleared when the browser is closed.

Firefox: All data is stored exclusively on your device using the browser’s extension storage APIs (storage.local for pinned items and settings, storage.session for the session history). Data never leaves your device and is not accessible by any remote server or third party. Pinned items persist across browser restarts. Non-pinned items are cleared when the browser is closed.

No tracking, no analytics

HekaCopy does not include any analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, or third-party libraries. The extension does not open any network connection.

Your rights

Because all data remains on your device and is never transmitted to us, Hekasoft does not hold, process, or have access to any of your personal data. You can delete all stored data at any time using the “Clear all data” button in the Settings page, or by removing the extension.

Children’s privacy

HekaCopy is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly process data from children. Because the extension does not transmit any data to us, no personal information about any user (including minors) is received by Hekasoft.

Changes to this policy

If the way HekaCopy handles data ever changes, this policy will be updated and the version of the extension will reflect the change. Your continued use of a new version constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
