We Do Not Store Any Photos on Our Servers!

1. Introduction

Welcome to Camera to Clipboard ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application and desktop application Camera to Clipboard (the "Apps").

2. What Camera to Clipboard Does

Camera to Clipboard allows you to instantly transfer photos from your mobile device to your computer's clipboard using your local Wi-Fi network. The process works entirely within your local network - no photos are ever sent to the internet or stored on external servers.

3. Information We Collect

• Automatic Cleanup: Photos are automatically deleted after successful transfer

3.2 Device Information

• Device Identifiers: We generate unique device GUIDs for pairing your mobile and desktop apps
• Network Information: Local IP addresses and network interfaces are used to establish direct connections
• Connection Status: We monitor connection status to ensure reliable photo transfers

9. International Data Transfers

Your photo data never leaves your local network, so no international transfers occur for photo content. Analytics data may be processed in various countries where our service providers operate, but this data is anonymous and aggregated.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Apps after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
