Data VanX handles locally
VanX may process clipboard content, clip metadata, user-created labels and collections, preferences, encrypted-library keys, protected or quarantined items, and diagnostics needed to operate the app. By default, this information remains on your Mac. Core clipboard management, search, local storage, and on-device processing work without a VanX account, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or remote AI service.
VanX does not sell personal data, use personal data for advertising, or track you across apps or websites.
Optional network features
VanX does not automatically send clipboard content to a VanX-operated service. Network features are disabled by default and require a user action or explicit opt-in. When enabled and used, these features contact the relevant third-party destination directly from your device:
A URL you copied or selected
Retrieve a site icon
OffA URL you copied or selected
Retrieve page-title or related preview metadata
OffA URL you select for preview
Retrieve media or preview content
OffThe query you review and submit, plus any approved public-page URLs in the configured scope
Retrieve public web sources for research
OffThese requests are sent to the relevant website, its content-delivery provider, or another destination necessary to provide the selected feature. Those third parties may process request metadata, such as your IP address, under their own policies. VanX does not control those policies.
Retention and deletion
You control how long items stay in your library. History retention can be configured in Settings, and individual clips, notebooks, or your entire database can be deleted at any time from within the app.
Protected items, pinned clips, and encrypted workspace contents are preserved according to your explicit rules until you delete or unlock them.
On-device security and Keychain storage
VanX stores its library and local indexes inside this Mac's app container. Primary and engine stores are encrypted at rest with device Keychain-backed keys; encrypted-workspace content also uses per-workspace envelopes. Factory Reset removes VanX-managed local data and key material while preserving trial and purchase records.
User controls and choices
You can use VanX without enabling optional network features. You can disable those features in Settings → Privacy & Network, decline or cancel an outbound request, and use the app’s controls to delete local clips and other local content. macOS system privacy settings and permissions also control relevant platform access.
