Is Text Copier Safe? Permissions and Data

Is Text Copier safe?

Yes. Text Copier works only inside your browser: when you select text on a page, it puts that text on your clipboard. It does not store a history, does not send what you copy anywhere and does not collect your browsing. It needs access to web pages because it has to notice your selection there. The publisher is PayForSay s. r. o., Slovakia.

What it does

When you finish selecting text with the mouse on a web page, Text Copier copies that selection to the clipboard. That is all. The text stays in your computer's clipboard until you copy something else.

What it does not do

keep a history of your selections;
send selections, page addresses or browsing history anywhere;
show ads or change pages.

One thing to keep in mind

Because every selection is copied, the clipboard changes more often than you may expect. If you select something sensitive by accident, copy something else to replace it.

The full policy is on the privacy page.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Text Copier need access to websites?

To notice when you select text on a page and copy it. It does not read the rest of the page.

Can it copy passwords?

Password fields cannot be selected as text, so it does not copy them. Be aware that anything you select on a page lands on the clipboard.
