This Privacy Policy explains how Clause.dev ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our websites and services (the "Service").
1. Who is responsible for your data
Clause.dev is the controller of personal data processed in connection with the Service, unless your organisation has a separate agreement with us.
Websites and app:

2. Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account or sign in (including via Google or GitHub), we collect your name, email address, profile image (if provided), and identifiers from the provider.
Workspace and usage data
We collect the content you create in the Service (e.g. projects, work items, descriptions, comments), and basic usage events needed to operate the Service (e.g. authentication events, feature usage, request logs).
Device and technical data
We receive information about your device and how you access the Service, such as IP address, browser type, and approximate location (derived from IP). We also use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in and to secure the Service.
3. How we use information
- To provide, maintain, and secure the Service.
- To authenticate users and manage sessions.
- To process Customer Content and display it to you and your collaborators.
- To improve the Service, fix bugs, and develop new features.
- To communicate with you about service updates, security, and support.
4. Legal bases (UK/EU)
If you are in the UK/EEA, we process personal data under the following legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the Service you request.
- Legitimate interests: to secure and improve the Service and prevent abuse.
- Consent: where required for optional analytics or marketing communications.
- Legal obligation: to comply with applicable law.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, keep you signed in, and help prevent fraud. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
6. AI-assisted features
If you use AI-assisted features, we may process the inputs you provide (which can include Customer Content) to generate outputs. We use this processing solely to deliver the feature, improve the Service, and maintain safety. You should avoid submitting sensitive personal data unless necessary.
7. How we share information
We share information only as necessary:
- Service providers: hosting, databases, email, and security services who process data on our behalf.
- OAuth providers: when you sign in with Google or GitHub, those providers receive information as described in their policies.
- Legal: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfers: if we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
8. International transfers
We may process and store information in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
9. Data retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Service and for legitimate business purposes (such as security, dispute resolution, and compliance). You can request deletion of your account subject to legal requirements.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
To exercise your rights, contact us at support@clause.dev.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, via the Service or by email). Your continued use of the Service means you accept the updated policy.
14. Contact
