Copytrail saves the text you copy so you can find and reuse it later. Everything stays on your own computer. Copytrail has no server, no account, and does not send, sell, or share anything you copy with anyone — including us.
When you copy text while Copytrail is installed and turned on, it saves:
This is stored using your browser's built-in local storage, on your own device. It is never transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to any third party, not to any server. We do not operate a server that receives this data, because none exists.
Copytrail tries to detect text that looks like a password, credit card number, or API key/token, and displays it blurred in your history until you hover over it. This is a local, on-device convenience feature, not encryption — the underlying text is still stored the same way as everything else, just visually hidden by default in the popup.
You can export your history to a file at any time, and import it back later (for example, when moving to a new computer). These files are created and read entirely on your device — Copytrail does not upload them anywhere. If you choose to share an exported file with someone else, anything in it — including sensitive-flagged items — will be visible to whoever opens it, since the export is a plain, readable file.
Copytrail requests access to all websites (<all_urls>) because a copy action can happen on any page you visit — there's no way to know in advance which site you'll be copying from. This permission is used only to detect the moment you copy something on the page you're actively using; it is not used to read, monitor, or collect anything else from the pages you visit.
If what Copytrail stores or how it handles your data ever changes, this page will be updated and the extension will note the change on its next update.
