Clutch – Privacy Policy

Clutch ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the Clutch app.

1. Information We Collect

When you use Clutch, we may collect or process:

• Content you provide: messages, screenshots, or text you upload or paste into the app to receive suggestions.
• Usage information: how you use the app (for example, features used and language preference) to improve the service.
• Device information: device type and operating system for compatibility and support.
• Language and preferences: your in-app language and settings, which may be stored locally on your device.

We do not sell your personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Clutch service (for example, generating replies, coaching, and profile analysis).
• Process your requests and deliver AI-generated suggestions.
• Improve app performance, security, and user experience.
• Comply with applicable laws and enforce our Terms of Use.

Content you upload (for example, screenshots or conversation text) may be sent to our service providers to generate AI responses. We do not use this content to train general-purpose AI models for unrelated products.

3. Data Storage and Retention

• Content you submit may be processed temporarily to generate responses.
• We retain data only as long as necessary to provide the service and as required by law.
• You can delete app data via your device settings or by uninstalling the app.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information only:

• With service providers that help us operate the app (for example, hosting and AI APIs), under strict confidentiality.
• When required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.
• In connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, with notice where required.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

5. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information using industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Choices and Rights

• You can control in-app settings (for example, language) from the Settings screen.
• You can stop using the app at any time; uninstalling will remove locally stored data.
• Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

7. Children

Clutch is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, please contact us.

8. International Use

If you use Clutch from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the app, you consent to such transfer.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
