Your device may be quietly storing clipboard data. It might be collecting everything you've copied, from texts, passwords, sensitive messages and OTPs, thus creating a potential privacy risk if the data falls into the wrong hands. Regularly clearing your clipboard helps safeguard your sensitive data. On Android, head to Settings > System > Advanced > Clipboard to delete entries. iPhone clipboard data auto-clears, but to be safe in case of sensitive information, overwrite the clipboard data by copying random text after pasting. Windows users can press Windows + V and select "Clear All." For heavy clipboard users, consider a secure clipboard manager with encryption.
