Clipboard handling and formatting run locally.

Offline Friendly

Core features work without a network connection.

No accounts or analytics. Preferences stay on-device.

Data Handling

What We Collect and How We Use It

Understanding how Copyany handles your data and what permissions it requires

What We Collect

No personal data is collected.

Clipboard content is read and written locally during a copy action, then released.

Your last chosen output format (Markdown/HTML/raw) is stored in extension storage.

No browsing history, page content, or analytics are sent to servers.

Permissions We Use

Requested only for copy and formatting to work.

Clipboard write access to place the formatted link on your clipboard.

Active tab/page access to read selection/hover context and build text fragment links.

Storage permission to remember your preferred output format.

Network Use

Copyany does not call external APIs for core features.

Copying, formatting, and text fragment generation run without network access.

The built-in help page is packaged with the extension; opening it does not contact remote servers.

Updates follow your browser's extension update flow; no additional telemetry is sent.

Logs and Errors

Minimal diagnostics; no clipboard content is logged.

Runtime errors may appear in extension or page consoles for troubleshooting.

Copyany does not persist logs or transmit clipboard data.

You can remove the extension at any time to clear stored preferences.
