Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your AI sessions are processed entirely on your local machine. Klip does not send your session data, conversations, or code to our servers. All parsing, searching, and analysis happens locally using your own hardware and your own AI agents.
We believe your coding conversations and source code are private. That's why we built Klip to work offline-first, with cloud services only used for account management and license verification.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address
- Name (optional)

Device Information for License Verification
To prevent license abuse and manage trials, we collect device identifiers when you use the extension. This information is used solely for license enforcement:
- Machine ID (a unique identifier for your device)
- Platform and architecture (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux)
- OS version
- VS Code version and extension version
This data is never sold or shared with third parties. It is used only to verify your license and manage device limits.

- Your AI session content or conversations

All session parsing, searching, and analysis is performed locally on your hardware.
