Short version: URLStrip is local first.

URLStrip, the app

URLStrip is designed to clean links locally on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Windows device. When you paste, share, scan, or open a URL in URLStrip, the normal cleaning process happens on your device.

• No URLStrip account is required.
• We do not sell personal data.
• We do not use URLStrip to track you across apps or websites.
• We do not collect your browsing history.
• We do not collect a history of the links you clean.
• We do not use third-party advertising SDKs in URLStrip.

Optional issue reports

URLStrip may let you report a missed tracker or product issue by sending an email to Tacita Labs. That report is optional and is only sent if you choose to send it.

An issue report may include:

• The original URL you were trying to clean.
• The cleaned URL URLStrip produced.
• The tracking parameters URLStrip detected or missed.
• Basic app/platform details needed to debug the issue.
• Anything else you choose to write in the email.

We use those reports to fix rules, improve URLStrip, and respond to you if a response is needed. We do not use issue reports to build advertising profiles or sell data.

Camera and photo access

URLStrip may ask for camera access to scan QR codes. It may ask for photo library access if you choose to scan a QR code from an image. Those permissions are used for QR-code scanning, not for collecting your photos.

Safari Extension and Share Extension

URLStrip's Safari Extension and Share Extension exist so you can clean links from Safari and other apps. Their purpose is to clean URLs on device and return the cleaned result to you. Tacita Labs does not receive your Safari browsing history from these extensions.

TestFlight

If you use a beta version of URLStrip through Apple's TestFlight, Apple may collect and share beta feedback, screenshots, crash logs, device details, and app diagnostics as part of TestFlight. That TestFlight data is handled under Apple's TestFlight terms and privacy practices.

This website

The Tacita Labs website is intended to be simple and informational. It is not here to build a profile on visitors. If we add analytics or other services that materially change that, this policy should change too.

Email and contact

If you email Tacita Labs, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We keep email long enough to answer you, maintain the thread, and improve the product when your message is about a bug or missed tracker.

For privacy questions, contact hello@tacitalabs.com. For missed tracker reports, use the reporting flow in URLStrip or email submissions@tacitalabs.com.
