Utility Island Privacy Choices

Your data never leaves. Still, here are the controls.

Utility Island keeps everything on your Mac, so almost every privacy control is already in your hands rather than mine. This page says where each one is.

01Do it yourself, on your Mac

  • Clear the clipboard history — from the shelf. It is removed from disk immediately.
  • Empty the shelf — drag files back out, or clear it.
  • Revoke a permission — System Settings → Privacy & Security. Features that need it stop; nothing is retained as a result.
  • Delete everything — remove the app. Its container, and everything inside it, goes with it.
Worth reading the clipboard warning in the privacy policy before using the history with passwords or card numbers. Apps that mark an item as concealed — most password managers do — are respected and never recorded.

02What I could delete for you

Nothing — because I never receive anything. Utility Island has no account, no server of mine, and no analytics provider holding data on my behalf. Your clipboard, your shelf files and your shortcuts are read and written on your own machine.

That makes a data request unusually simple to answer, and it means the controls above are the whole story rather than a first step.

03Your rights, and how to use them

Depending on where you live, you have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. In California you also have the right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

Neither Utility Island nor any other app I publish sells or shares personal information with data brokers, for advertising or for any other purpose. There is nothing to opt out of, because it does not happen.

To make any request, email kolisnyk7@gmail.com with what you want done. I answer these myself, within 30 days.

You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. In the EEA that is your national supervisory authority, in the UK the Information Commissioner’s Office, and in Ukraine the Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
