CLEARCLAUSE
AI contract review in plain English
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how RW Consulting, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Nevada, United States (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use the ClearClause browser extension (the “Extension”) and the backend services that power it (together, the “Service”).
By installing or using the Extension, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the Extension.
1. What we collect and why
We collect the minimum information needed to analyze contracts and to operate the Service.
1.1. Document text you submit
When you click the ClearClause icon and choose to analyze a document, the Extension reads the text of the document visible in your current browser tab (a web page, Google Doc, or PDF) and sends that text to our backend for analysis. We send that text, on your behalf, to Anthropic’s Claude API, which returns a structured risk analysis.
We do not store the document text after analysis. The text is held in memory only long enough to produce the analysis and is then discarded. We do not log or archive it.
1.2. Your email address (Pro subscribers)
If you upgrade to ClearClause Pro, we collect your email address so that we can associate your subscription with your account, enforce your subscription tier, and communicate with you about your subscription if necessary. Your email is stored in our database (Supabase).
Free-tier users do not need to provide an email. The Extension enforces the free-tier usage limit locally in your browser’s storage and anonymously on our backend by a hashed identifier.
1.3. Usage metadata
We record the number of analyses performed per calendar month per email address (for subscribers) so that we can enforce usage limits. We record the calendar month and a count — we do not record what you analyzed or when during the month you analyzed it.
1.4. Payment information (Pro subscribers)
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not see, receive, or store your credit-card number, CVV, or expiration date. Stripe gives us back only a customer identifier and a subscription status (active, cancelled, paused). Stripe’s privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.
1.5. What we do not collect
We do not collect:
- Your browsing history, tab URLs, or the contents of tabs you have not asked us to analyze.
- Authentication credentials, cookies, or session tokens from any website.
- Your name, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, or government identifiers.
- Location data.
- Health or financial records beyond what is in a contract you voluntarily submit.
The Extension does not run automatically. It reads the active tab only after you click the ClearClause icon and press “Analyze this document.”
2. How we use the information
We use the information described above solely to:
- Perform the contract analysis you requested.
- Enforce the free-tier usage cap and validate Pro subscriptions.
- Bill you, via Stripe, if you subscribe to Pro.
- Respond to support requests or privacy inquiries you send us.
- Detect and prevent abuse of the Service (for example, automated scraping).
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or training any AI model. We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
3. Third-party services we rely on
The Service depends on the following processors. Each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data we share with them.
| Service | What it receives | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude API) | Document text you submit, during analysis only | anthropic.com/legal/privacy |
| Supabase | Your email, subscription tier, monthly usage count (Pro subscribers) | supabase.com/privacy |
| Stripe | Email and payment details you provide during checkout (Pro subscribers) | stripe.com/privacy |
| Railway | Our backend is hosted on Railway. No user data is stored on Railway; it only routes requests. | railway.app/legal/privacy |
Anthropic has confirmed publicly that customer data submitted through their API is not used to train their models. Our backend does not persist document text in any form.
4. Data retention
- Document text: not stored. Held in memory during analysis only.
- Email and subscription data (Pro): retained as long as your subscription is active, plus seven years thereafter for tax and accounting purposes, after which it is deleted.
- Usage counters: reset to zero at the start of each calendar month.
5. Your rights
5.1. All users
You can stop using the Service at any time by removing the Extension. Local data stored by the Extension in your browser is removed along with the Extension.
5.2. California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of your information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise your rights, email us at the address in Section 9.
5.3. EU / UK / EEA residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)
You have the right to access, rectify, port, and erase your personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. Our legal basis for processing is (a) your consent (you install and use the Extension), (b) performance of a contract (your Pro subscription), and (c) our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Service. You can lodge a complaint with your national data-protection authority.
5.4. Requests
For any of the above, email us at renierwalters@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy request.” We will respond within thirty (30) days.
6. Security
We use TLS encryption for all data in transit between the Extension, our backend, and our third-party processors. The Supabase database uses the service-role key for access from our backend only; it is not shipped with the Extension. We follow industry-standard practices to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.
7. Children
ClearClause is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes will be announced either on the ClearClause website or through an in-Extension notice.
