Clarity, operated by Clarity Faith, is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. It applies to both the Clarity web app and the Clarity mobile apps for iOS and Android.
What we collect
- Account information — your email address when you create an account, plus optional profile information such as display name and faith tradition.
- Study data — notes, highlights, bookmarks, lesson plans, and reading history you create in the app.
- Chat history — your conversations with the AI assistant, stored so you can continue them later.
- Usage data — how you interact with features (signups, message counts, feature usage), used to improve the product and enforce fair-use limits.
- Device identifier — on mobile, the app stores a per-install identifier in the iOS Keychain or Android encrypted storage to enforce fair-use limits and recover sessions. This identifier is never linked to advertising networks or shared with data brokers.
- Server logs — IP address, user-agent, and timestamps are visible to our infrastructure providers for security and abuse prevention. These logs are retained for up to 7 days.
- Payment information — handled entirely by Apple (iOS in-app purchases), Google (Android in-app purchases), or Stripe via RevenueCat (web). We never see your payment card details.
Voice features
When you use voice dictation in chat on mobile, your microphone audio is sent to your device's built-in speech recognizer (Apple on iOS, Google on Android), governed by their respective privacy terms. Clarity itself does not record, store, or transmit raw audio from your microphone. When the app reads text aloud, only the text — not your voice — is sent to our text-to-speech provider.
How we use it
- To provide and improve Clarity.
- To sync your study data across your devices.
- To enforce subscription limits fairly.
- To respond to support requests.
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data to third parties.
- We do not use your chat history for AI training.
- We do not show you ads or share data with advertisers.
- We do not use third-party analytics SDKs (no Firebase Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Segment, etc.).
Service providers
We rely on a small number of trusted providers to operate Clarity. Each receives only the data they need to perform their service:
- Supabase — database, authentication, backend infrastructure.
- Google (Gemini API) and, when configured, OpenAI — to generate AI responses. Chat messages are sent to the active provider to produce an answer. Under our API agreements, neither provider stores or trains on your content.
- Google Cloud (Text-to-Speech) and OpenAI (TTS) — to synthesize spoken audio from text.
- RevenueCat — to manage subscription state across iOS, Android, and web.
- Apple, Google Play, Stripe — to process payments. Card data goes directly from you to them; we never touch it.
- Vercel — to host the Clarity web app and marketing site.
Data retention
- Account data — kept until you delete your account, then removed within 30 days.
- Server logs — up to 7 days.
- Subscription audit events — retained for up to 7 years to comply with financial recordkeeping obligations.
- Backups — encrypted backups are kept on a 30-day rolling window.
Children
Clarity is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we will remove the account.
Your rights
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time. In the Clarity app, open Settings → your account → Delete account; this permanently removes your account and study data on confirmation. You can also email support@clarityfaith.com with the subject "Delete my account" and we will complete the deletion within 30 days.
Depending on where you live (including the EU, UK, and California), you may also have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct inaccurate data, request portability, or object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us.
Security
All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Account credentials are stored using salted hashes; we never store plaintext passwords. No system is perfectly secure, so we recommend using a strong, unique password for your account.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If the change is material, we'll let you know in the app or by email before it takes effect.
