Privacy policy
Last updated: October 20, 2026
Scope
This policy applies to the BiBimba app and website.
Personal information
There is no separate BiBimba account to create. At checkout, or when a complimentary license is granted individually, we handle the email address used to receive license verification codes.
Purchases and license verification
Stripe processes payments. Cloudflare and Resend are used to confirm purchases and complimentary licenses, verify licenses, and send verification codes. We handle the email address, purchase or complimentary-grant identifier, a random installation identifier generated by the app, verification-email language, activation state, and last license-status-check time. BiBimba does not use your Apple ID, Mac serial number, or iCloud account. This information is used to enforce the active-Mac allowance, authenticate the license, localize the verification email, and provide support; it is not used for advertising or analysis of clipboard and feature usage.
For abuse prevention, Cloudflare processes network connection information needed to handle requests. BiBimba derives a salted hash from the IP address and uses it to separate rate-limit buckets for verification-code requests and purchase checks. The raw IP address is not stored in BiBimba's D1 records.
Data in the app
Clipboard history, screenshots, OCR text, snippets, and settings are stored on your Mac.
Starting with BiBimba 1.1.0, when copy source context is enabled (the default), BiBimba may also save the source window title and HTTP(S) document URL for copied text, using Accessibility access you have already granted. Collection happens only when a copy is observed and the accessible selection matches the copied text; support varies by application. No browser extension or online service is used. URL query strings and fragments are removed and URLs with embedded credentials are rejected, but titles and URL paths can still contain private information. Private browsing windows are not automatically excluded. You can turn off future collection in Settings > History; existing source information is retained and deleted with its clipboard item. Source titles and URLs are used for local search and are not added to pasted text or AI transformation input.
Permissions
BiBimba uses Screen Recording for screenshots and screen OCR, and Accessibility for automatic pasting into the previous app and optional copy source context. You can change either permission in macOS System Settings.
Updates
When automatic updates are enabled, BiBimba contacts its distribution server to check for a new version. Clipboard history and screenshots are not included.
Website
To improve our articles, we aggregate download actions in Cloudflare by article, language and UTC date. These are not completed downloads or installations. This counter stores no individual browsing history, IP addresses or visitor IDs. Purchase links may carry a shared article/language label; we save it with the existing purchase record after Stripe confirms payment and use it for aggregate reports. We do not create a new anonymous user ID; the underlying purchase record still contains the information described above.
This measurement uses no cookies or browser storage and does not track purchases across devices, through the app or on later return visits. Labels passed from an article to the homepage are valid only on the same UTC day. Shared labeled links can also count toward that article, so these figures are not individual journeys or a precise conversion rate. When Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is enabled, the browser does not send these events or add labels. Cloudflare and Stripe process network information needed to serve requests. No app history or copied content is included.
Deleting data
You can delete history in the app. If data remains after removing the app, use “Show Local Data” in Settings to find its location.
Changes and contact
Changes to this policy will be posted on this page. Questions can be sent through the support page S.
