01 Introduction

Welcome to Clippr – Smart Link Vault ("Clippr", "the App", "we", "us", or "our"). Clippr is developed as a native, private, local-first Android link vault and bookmark manager (Application ID: com.clipprvault.app).

We believe your personal bookmarks, browsing intentions, and saved research are private to you. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to absolute data privacy and transparency regarding how the App operates.

02 The Local-First Architecture

Clippr operates entirely on your physical device. We do not operate remote databases, link syndication servers, or cloud storage backends.

  • Local Database: All saved links, collections, custom tags, reading progress, and personal notes are stored strictly in an encrypted/private SQLite database inside your device's isolated application storage sandbox.
  • No Cloud Sync: Clippr does not transmit your bookmarks or browsing habits to any external servers.
  • Full Ownership: You retain complete and total ownership of all content saved in the App.

03 Information We Do NOT Collect

Because Clippr is designed around zero-knowledge principles:

  • We do not collect personal identification information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical location).
  • We do not collect device identifiers (such as IMEI, Android ID, Advertising ID, or MAC address).
  • We do not log your IP address or monitor what links you save, read, or organize.
  • We do not utilize any third-party behavioral analytics (such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Segment).
  • We do not embed advertising frameworks or commercial trackers (such as Google AdMob, Unity Ads, or Meta Audience Network).

04 Android Device Permissions

Clippr requests only the minimal set of system permissions strictly required for its core functionality:

Permission Purpose Data Handling
INTERNET Used strictly on-device to connect directly to the target web address you choose to save in order to retrieve the page title, description, and preview image (OpenGraph metadata). Direct device-to-website HTTP request. No intermediary server or tracking proxy is used.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Enables the App to detect when an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection is present before attempting to fetch link previews. Read locally by Android OS; not collected or logged.
USE_BIOMETRIC Allows you to lock and unlock the App using your fingerprint, face unlock, or device PIN (Vault AppLock). Handled entirely by the secure Android BiometricPrompt system. The App never accesses, reads, or stores your biometric templates.

05 Security & Encrypted Backups

Clippr leverages cutting-edge Android platform security standards:

  • Android Keystore: Cryptographic keys used for secure storage and backups are generated inside your device's hardware-backed Secure Enclave / Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), ensuring keys cannot be extracted even on compromised devices.
  • Vault Export & Backup: When you export your data, Clippr creates an encrypted .clippr vault archive using industry-standard AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with a user-supplied password and Argon2/PBKDF2 key derivation.
  • App Isolation: Android's application sandboxing prevents other applications installed on your phone from accessing Clippr's private internal storage.

06 Third-Party Links & Services

When you click to open or view a link stored in Clippr, you may open the target URL in your default web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) or via Android Custom Tabs. Once you navigate to an external website, their respective privacy policies and terms of service govern their data collection practices. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of websites you frequent.

07 User Control & Data Deletion

Because all data resides exclusively on your local device, you possess total control over your data at all times:

  • Manual Deletion: You can delete individual links, clear your trash, or reset collections at any moment from within the App.
  • Complete Eradication: Clearing Clippr's storage via your device's Settings > Apps > Clippr > Clear Storage / Data, or uninstalling the App, permanently and immediately deletes all stored links, bookmarks, thumbnails, and cache from your device.

08 Children’s Privacy

Clippr does not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). The App is fully suitable for all audiences as a private local utility and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play Families Policy.

09 Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any revisions will be reflected on this hosted page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp. Because the App collects no email or contact information, checking this page periodically is recommended.
