We do not collect anything

This covers Driven Clipboard for Windows and Driven SmartClip for Android. Both keep what you save on the device that saved it. There is no account, no analytics and no server of ours holding your data. The Windows app does check for updates, which is the one connection it makes, and it is described in full below rather than left for you to discover.

What the apps store

Whatever you choose to save: text, links, code and images, along with the name of the app it came from and the time you saved it. All of it lives in the app's own private storage on your device. It is not transmitted, not backed up to us, and not accessible to us or to anyone else. We never see it, because there is nowhere for it to go.

What they do not do

Driven SmartClip does not read your clipboard in the background. Android does not permit this for any app other than your keyboard, and SmartClip is not a keyboard. It reads the clipboard only while you have the app open and in front of you, to offer to save what you just copied, and only if you tap to accept.

There is no analytics library, no advertising, no advertising identifier and no crash reporting service in either app. Nothing you copy or save is ever transmitted. The only connection either app makes is the Windows update check described next.

Internet access

Driven Clipboard on Windows checks for updates. Roughly fifteen seconds after it starts, and about every four hours after that, it asks dl.drivenmemory.com whether a newer version has been published. The request carries no identifier, no account, no machine fingerprint and nothing you have copied. It is an ordinary web request for a small file, and the only thing our side learns is what any web server learns when it is asked for a file.

You can block that host in a firewall and the app carries on working normally. You simply stop being told that updates exist.

Driven SmartClip on Android requests internet access, which arrives with Google's own billing library. There is currently no paid tier in SmartClip, so nothing is being checked and nothing is being sold. Nothing you save travels over that connection.

You do not have to take our word for any of this. Run Wireshark, or read your firewall log, and you will see exactly one thing leaving: the update check above, roughly every four hours, carrying nothing about you.

This website

drivenmemory.com sets no cookies, loads no analytics and embeds no third-party trackers. There is nothing to consent to, which is why you have not been asked.

One thing is counted. The Download button routes through go.drivenmemory.com, which adds one to a tally of downloads and to a per-day and per-country total, then sends you on to the installer. No cookie is set, no IP address is stored and nothing identifies you; it is a counter, not a profile. It exists so a beta with a handful of users can tell whether anybody arrived. The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes request logs as any host does.

Export, and what happens after

SmartClip can export everything you have saved as a single file, so you can move to a new phone or keep a copy. You choose where that file goes using your phone's own file picker. If you place it in a cloud drive, it is in that cloud, under your account and that provider's rules. We never learn where it went, and we cannot read it.

That is worth stating plainly rather than hiding behind "nothing ever leaves your device". Nothing leaves unless you send it, and then it goes exactly where you sent it.

Device backup

If you have Android's own backup switched on, SmartClip's data may be included in the backup your phone makes to your personal Google account, in the same way as other apps' data. That backup belongs to you and is governed by Google's privacy policy. We have no access to it and receive nothing from it. You can exclude SmartClip from backup in your Android settings.

Deleting your data

Delete an item in the app and it is gone from your device. Uninstall the app and everything it stored goes with it. Because we hold nothing, there is nothing to request from us and no process for you to follow.

Payments

Nothing is for sale. Driven Clipboard is free during the beta and SmartClip has no paid tier, so no payment details exist for us to see or mishandle. If that ever changes, payment will be handled entirely by the app store involved, we will still never see your card details, and this page will say so before it happens rather than after.

Children

The apps collect nothing from anyone, including children.

Changes

If a future version ever collects or transmits anything, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be stated here plainly rather than buried.
