Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Magpie (“the app”), a clipboard manager for macOS, and the website magpieapp.dev handle your information. Magpie is operated by an individual developer, Sanatzhan Aimukambetov (“we”, “us”), based in the Republic of Kazakhstan. You can reach us any time at [email protected].

The short version

Magpie is local-first and offline. Everything you copy — your clipboard history, text, images, files, colors — stays on your Mac. We don’t have a server for it, we can’t see it, and it’s never uploaded to us or anyone else. There is no account and no sign-in.

Data the app collects

None that leaves your device. Your clipboard history and any sections, vaults, or settings are stored locally in your macOS user folder (~/Library/Application Support/Magpie/). The app works fully offline and does not transmit your content to us.

Data the website collects

• Waitlist email. If you submit your email on magpieapp.dev, we store that email address (plus a timestamp and approximate country) solely to notify you about the launch and updates. It is kept using Cloudflare’s storage.
• Standard server logs. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically processes basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, and country to deliver and protect the site. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How we use information

We use the waitlist email only to send launch and product news. We don’t sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own marketing.

Third-party services

• Cloudflare — website hosting and waitlist storage.
• Apple App Store — if you buy or download Magpie from the App Store, Apple processes the purchase and any analytics under Apple’s own privacy policy.

Retention

Waitlist emails are kept until launch (or until you ask us to delete yours). You can request removal at any time by emailing us.

Your rights

You can ask us to access or delete the personal data we hold about you (your waitlist email). Just write to [email protected] and we’ll take care of it.

Children

Magpie is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “last updated” date.
