Privacy Policy

ClearedUp is designed to work without accounts, without user profiles, and without invasive tracking. We believe most informational sites collect far more data than they need. Our approach is simple: collect as little information as possible while keeping the site reliable, secure, and useful. This Privacy Policy applies to ClearedUp and its related services, including subdomains, tools, and features operated under the clearedup.io domain.

Information we do not collect

ClearedUp does not collect or require:

  • User accounts or login credentials
  • Your name, home address, or phone number
  • Demographic profiles or behavioral targeting data
  • Personalized advertising identifiers

Information we may collect

While ClearedUp avoids personal data collection, basic technical information may be processed as part of normal site operation.

  • Server logs: request timestamps, pages requested, and technical metadata needed to deliver pages
  • Error logs: diagnostic information used to fix bugs and prevent outages
  • Aggregate usage metrics: anonymized counts of page views or feature usage

We do not attempt to identify individuals from this data.

Personalized guides

ClearedUp offers optional personalized how-to guidesthat are delivered by email. If you choose to purchase a guide, we collect limited information necessary to fulfill that request.

  • Email address: used to deliver the guide and send order-related messages (confirmation, delivery, support)
  • Guide details you submit: information you choose to provide about your situation
  • Payment information: processed by a third-party payment provider; ClearedUp does not store full payment card details

To generate a guide, the details you submit may be sent to an AI processing provider. Only the information required to generate the guide is shared.

By purchasing a personalized guide, you agree to ClearedUp’s Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.

Search queries

ClearedUp may store search queries to understand what topics people are looking for and to improve site coverage and usability.

Search data, if collected, is used in an anonymous and aggregate manner.

Because ClearedUp does not have user accounts, searches are not tied to personal identities.

Cookies and local storage

ClearedUp itself does not use cookies for targeted advertising or user profiling. Advertising partners used on the site may use cookies or similar technologies as described in their respective disclosures.

Limited cookies or local storage may be used for basic functionality, such as remembering interface preferences or preventing abuse.

Affiliate links

Some links on ClearedUp may be affiliate links. If you make a purchase through those links, ClearedUp may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate providers may use their own tracking methods to attribute purchases. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

Third-party services

ClearedUp uses third-party services for infrastructure and essential functionality, such as hosting, payments, analytics, and content delivery.

These services may process limited technical data as required to provide their service.

We choose providers that prioritize security and minimize data collection where possible.

Microsoft Clarity (usability analytics)

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how people interact with the site (for example: clicks, scrolling, and general usage patterns) so we can improve usability and performance.

Clarity may process device and browser information and may record anonymized session interactions. We do not use Clarity for personalized advertising.

Advertising and Ezoic

ClearedUp uses Ezoic Inc. (“Ezoic”) to provide and manage advertising on this site.

Ezoic and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from this website and elsewhere on the internet, and use that information to provide measurement services, personalization, and targeted advertisements.

Data retention

Technical logs are retained only as long as necessary for operational and security purposes.

Information related to personalized guide purchases may be retained for a reasonable period to provide support, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

No system is completely secure, but we aim to follow best practices appropriate to the limited data we handle.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding access, correction, or deletion of personal information.

Because ClearedUp does not maintain user accounts, our ability to identify or retrieve personal data is limited.

We may update this Privacy Policy as ClearedUp evolves or as legal requirements change.

When updates are made, this page will reflect the most current version.
