Acceptable Use Policy

yankd is a local utility. There is very little to misuse, but our merchant of record requires this to exist, and a couple of the rules are ours rather than theirs.

You may not

• Use yankd to capture clipboard contents from a machine you do not own or administer, or without the informed consent of the person using it.
• Deploy it as covert monitoring of employees or others. The Team tier exists for administered fleets with disclosed policy, not for surveillance.
• Redistribute modified builds that disable credential redaction while still calling them yankd.
• Use it in breach of applicable law, including data-protection law where clipboard contents include personal data.

Why the monitoring clause matters

A clipboard manager on somebody else’s machine is a keylogger with extra steps. The Team tier is designed so that policy is enforced and visible, and the audit log records metadata only, never clip contents — deliberately, so it cannot become a surveillance record.

Enforcement

Breach may result in licence termination without refund. Report abuse to support@dfacto.ai.
