ClipVault1. Who we are
This policy is issued by PROJECTTEAMFORYOU (프로젝트팀포유), the publisher of ClipVault (“we”, “us”). It covers the ClipVault program and this website. Our business details are at the bottom of this page.
2. The ClipVault program
What you copy is stored only on your own PC, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ClipVault. We never receive it. The program has no account, no sync and no telemetry.
Update check (optional). It stays off unless you allow it on first run or in the settings. When it is on, once a day the program requests a small file, release.json, from this website over HTTPS. The request has no body, no cookies and no identifier; the only header the program adds is a User-Agent naming ClipVault, its version and the address of this site. Like any web request, it comes from your IP address, and the hosting provider's standard logs may record that address, the time and the User-Agent. We do not count these requests or link them to anything. News and offers come from the same file, are off by default and send nothing extra. Some may be our own ads, marked as such; the program shows no one else’s ads and contains no ad code. Opening one opens a link on this website in your browser, which counts the click as described in section 3.
Links. A link you click in the program opens in your web browser, and the site you visit applies its own policy.

3. This website
The pages are static files. They load no analytics and set no cookies of their own.
Stored in your browser only. The language you pick is remembered in local storage under clipvault.site.lang, and a service worker keeps copies of the pages and images so the site opens offline. Neither is sent to us; clearing this site's data in your browser removes both.
Download counter. When you download a file, one is added to a tally for the date (UTC), the file name and a two-letter country code that the hosting provider derives from the connection. We do not store your IP address, User-Agent, referrer or cookies; the User-Agent is read only to avoid counting bots and link previews. The tally cannot identify you.
Our own ads. Some pages show an announcement or offer from us, marked “Ad”. The page asks this website for the current ads in your language — no cookies, no identifier. When you click one, we add one to a tally for the date (UTC), the ad and a two-letter country code, then send you on to the advertiser’s page. We do not store your IP address, User-Agent, referrer or cookies. From there, that site’s policy applies.
Share menu. Only when you pick a network does your browser open that network's share page with this page's address and title. From then on, that network's policy applies.
4. Why we process information
- To deliver the website and the downloads, and to keep them secure
- To count downloads in aggregate — which files, on which days, from which countries
- To answer questions, requests and vulnerability reports you send by email
We do not use personal information for advertising or profiling, and we do not sell it.
5. What we process
The ClipVault program collects no personal information. The website and email involve the following.
| What | Items | When and by whom |
|---|---|---|
| Connection data | IP address, time, requested address, User-Agent | Each visit, download and optional update check — processed by our hosting provider to deliver and protect the service |
| Download tally | Date, file name, two-letter country code (not personal information) | Each download |
| Ad click tally | Date, ad, two-letter country code (not personal information) | Each click on one of our own ads, on this website or in the program’s news |
| Your email address, any name you give, and your message | When you write to us |
We do not direct ClipVault at children under 14, do not ask anyone's age, and do not knowingly collect a child's personal information. If we learn that we hold any, we destroy it without delay.
6. Retention and deletion
- Connection data: kept by the hosting provider under its own retention rules. We do not copy it into any system of ours.
- Download and ad-click tallies: kept as aggregate statistics for as long as they are useful. They identify no one.
- Email: deleted within one year after the question or report is closed, unless a law requires us to keep it longer.
- Clipboard history: never reaches us. It stays on your PC for the retention period you choose in the program.
When a retention period ends, electronic records are deleted so that they cannot be restored.
How it is destroyed: once the retention period ends or the purpose is met, the personal information is destroyed after the privacy officer has confirmed it. We keep no paper records, so everything destroyed is an electronic record.
7. Sharing with third parties
We do not give personal information to third parties, except where a law requires it — for example, a lawful request from an investigating authority.
8. Service providers and transfers abroad
We use the providers below to run the website and email. They process data on our behalf, and may do so outside the Republic of Korea.
| Provider (country) | Contact | Task | Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. (United States) | privacyquestions@cloudflare.com | Hosting and delivering the website, security, storing the download files and the download tally | Connection data, download tally |
| Google LLC (United States) | support.google.com/policies/contact/general_privacy_form | Email (Gmail) for projectteamforyou@gmail.com | Emails you send us |
Data reaches these providers over the network at the moment you visit the website, download a file or send us an email, and is kept for the periods in section 6. You can avoid this by not using the website or email; the program itself needs neither once you have it.
9. Your rights
You can ask us to show, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to stop processing it, by writing to projectteamforyou@gmail.com — yourself or through a representative. We will reply within 10 days. Because we hold almost nothing that identifies a person, the answer will often be that we hold nothing about you.
We do not hold your clipboard history. You can view, export or delete it in the program, or remove the whole %LOCALAPPDATA%\ClipVault folder.
10. Safeguards
The download counter stores no personal information. The statistics endpoint answers only a request carrying a secret token, and does not exist at all when no token is configured. The website and downloads are served over HTTPS, and access to the hosting account is limited to the publisher. The page where we manage our own ads requires a Cloudflare Access sign-in (or a secret token) and does not exist when neither is configured.
