# Security
We take security very seriously and have taken several precautions to prevent anyone from accessing your clips without your authorization. However, keep in mind that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link! For this reason, we recommend you respect all computer security best practices. 
### Latest Clips
These clips are encoded and stored as files on your hard hard drive. If you’ve enabled CloudConnect then these files will also be stored in a (hidden) folder on your cloud storage provider’s servers. .
### Saved Clips
By default, these clips are stored as regular files. If you would like to apply an additional layer of security, you can opt to secure a folder with a password. This will create a “protected folder” in which files are encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, which is approved by the National Security Agency (NSA) for top-secret information.





###  Clips: 
Text, image data, or files copied to the clipboard at some point. These are stored temporarily until the Clip Limit is reached.
### Snippets: 
Text, image data, or files made available in the Paste Menu. These may contain Strings.
### SubSnippets: 
These are marked text strings within snippets that can be extracted individually.
