The service

rf-clipboard is a free service, provided as-is, with no warranty and no guarantee of availability. It may change or shut down at any time.

Clipboard data is ephemeral and can be removed at any time — automatically when it goes unused past the server's retention window (TTL), or by the operator at any moment without notice. Do not use it as storage for anything you cannot afford to lose.

What we can see

Almost nothing, by design:

• Clipboard contents are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before upload. The encryption key never leaves your machine. We store ciphertext we cannot read, and we could not decrypt it even if compelled to.
• Accounts are anonymous hashes derived on your device. There is no sign-up: no name, no email, no password, no profile.
• Server logs: like nearly every website, our reverse proxy records standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, request path) for security and abuse prevention. Logs are kept briefly and rotated; they are not shared, sold, or used for anything else.

Your responsibilities

• Your secret (in rf-clipboard.conf) is the only key to your clipboard. If you lose it, your data is unrecoverable — by anyone.
• Because content is encrypted, we cannot review or moderate it. You are responsible for what you store and for complying with applicable law.
• Abuse (flooding, automated bulk use) may be rate-limited or blocked.

Data removal

Entries expire automatically after the retention window. To remove your data immediately, overwrite it (echo | rf-clip) and let the TTL clear it, or delete your local config to abandon the account — without the secret, the stored ciphertext is permanently indecipherable noise.
