Awesome product! Been using it since the original launch. Each feature is welcomed and it makes me finally feel like I’m “somewhat” in control of my online presence now.

Simple and amazing security product. You’ll be thrilled by this new version ✌️
I find it a bit ironic that an app like this fetches my clipboard right as I open the app. Makes one wonder...
Can't add screenshots in comments, but here's a Dropbox link:
@rolandleth Hey Roland! Good questions.
First, let me tell you what we use the pasteboard for, and then what we do to make that as secure as possible.
We do use the pasteboard to help with attribution, so we know where users were coming from. This all has to do with the fact that there isn’t a good mechanism for passing data from a website to an app (assuming the app was just downloaded.) So this is able to give us a source, what was the most useful in getting people to us.
A second example: We have a flow to get to the app where a user does a dark web scan on the web first. We want to show we can provide value before they download the app. Then we don’t want the user to have to enter in their email address again.
For all of this, we encrypt this data before placing it in the pasteboard. Upon app open, we attempt to decrypt it inside of the app. If that fails (as it would for all content not placed by us,) we ignore it.
We know we can do better here, so we are making a change that it will only read the pasteboard once at first app open. We appreciate that you’re raising concerns and keeping us honest.
It’s great that iOS 14 is shining a light on this practice, and we’re evaluating any other options also introduced with iOS 14 that would allow us to do the above things in a way that raises fewer concerns.
@pierrevalade Thanks for the detailed explanation!
I don't understand what the clipboard has anything to do with passing data from a website or attribution. If I tap a link on the web that takes me to the App Store to install your app, there's no clipboard involvement. The fact that it says Pasted from Safari is a coincidence, I just wrote some gibberish in the address bar and copied it for the purpose of taking the screenshot.
Your example makes sense, but that's because you previously put the content in the clipboard. Seeing Pasted from Jumbo wouldn't really concern me, even though it would still be unexpected.
The fact that you didn't mention this anywhere before someone stumbled upon it, makes it just that little bit harder to build further trust; human nature 101, I guess.

I wholeheartedly support privacy initiatives, but I wish your website provided more info about what Jumbo Privacy is.
Also, do you have a desktop version of this in mind? ?makers

The promotion video is SUPER! I use Jumbo to keep track of facebook's and Google's well hidden privacy settings, which the app allowed users to do from the start.
Now Jumbo 2 introduces a "Tracker Blocker" but I have to ask: how does it compare to Blokada? Blokada blocks ads, trackers, web and app analytics. I've been using it for close to a year. It also shows you all the servers that your phone's apps reach out to and you can choose to block any of them from that point onwards.
Is there any reason to use Jumbo over Blokada?
By the way, it really cool and generous to let early adopters use the new features free of charge :) I wonder what happens if I uninstall and reinstall the app or get a new phone though... There's no way to make a Jumbo account so how will it know whether I'm an early adopter?

I've been using Jumbo for awhile now. It's amazing how great of a job the team has done at building such an easy to use yet incredibly effective app that let's you take back control of your personal data. Really excited for future updates!
