Terms of Use

Last Updated: July 9, 2026 · Provided by Adam Dreyfuss

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Adam Dreyfuss ("Clearly," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Clearly: Privacy Companion mobile application and related services (the "App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Please read the Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Dispute Resolution sections carefully — they limit our liability and affect how disputes are resolved.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent where you live) and able to form a binding contract to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements.

What Clearly Is (and Is Not)

Clearly is a personal privacy-awareness and education tool. It helps you review the permissions and privacy practices of apps you choose to track and surfaces publicly available breach, class-action, and privacy-news information.

Clearly is not:

• a security scanner, antivirus, or device-monitoring service;
• an identity-theft protection, credit-monitoring, or insurance product;
• a provider of legal, security, financial, or other professional advice; or
• a substitute for official sources, professional advisors, or your own judgment.

The App does not scan your device, read your system settings, or detect real-time breaches of your personal data. Information is based on what you enter and on public sources.

License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. You may delete your account and associated server data at any time in Settings.

Subscriptions, Billing, and Free Trials

Certain features require a paid subscription ("Clearly Premium"), offered as auto-renewable subscriptions.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
• Your subscription automatically renews for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
• If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable. Trial and pricing terms shown at purchase apply.
• We may change subscription prices; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, only after notice and/or your consent as provided by the App Store.
• Purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple under its policies; we generally cannot grant refunds directly.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the App for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose;
• attempt to access, probe, or disrupt our systems, or bypass security, rate limits, or entitlement checks;
• reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or create derivative works except as permitted by law;
• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App or its content;
• misuse the AI features to generate unlawful, abusive, or harmful content; or
• infringe the rights of others or violate applicable laws.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

Your Content

You retain ownership of the notes and information you enter ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate the App for you. You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the right to provide it.

No Professional Advice

The App, including AI outputs, educational materials, privacy scores, and breach and class-action information, is provided for general awareness and educational purposes only. It is not legal, security, financial, medical, or other professional advice, and does not create any professional-client or attorney-client relationship. Do not rely on the App as your sole source of information. Consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Breach and Legal Information

Breach and class-action information is compiled from public sources (including the Have I Been Pwned catalog and public filings) and is provided "as is" for awareness only. It may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate; it does not indicate that your personal data was affected; and class-action items describe unproven allegations not verified by us and not a determination of eligibility, liability, or wrongdoing. Company names are used for identification and factual reference only.

AI Features

AI features generate responses using third-party AI models. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation, and should be independently verified. You are responsible for how you use AI outputs. We do not guarantee availability, accuracy, or fitness of AI features for any purpose.

Third-Party Services and Links

The App relies on third-party services (e.g., Apple, Supabase, RevenueCat, Expo, OpenAI) and may link to third-party content. We are not responsible for third-party services, content, or practices, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms and policies.

Disclaimers of Warranties

THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING BREACH, LEGAL, OR AI CONTENT) IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ADAM DREYFUSS AND HIS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR SECURITY INCIDENTS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adam Dreyfuss from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Adam Dreyfuss each waive any right to a jury trial and agree that any claim will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory laws of your country or state of residence.

Changes to the App and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time. We may update these Terms; material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, additional notice. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or where necessary to protect the App or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Your Content, the disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and Apple-Specific Terms) survive termination.

Apple-Specific Terms

These Terms are between you and Adam Dreyfuss only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent required by Apple:

• The license granted is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Adam Dreyfuss, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and for providing any maintenance and support, which Apple has no obligation to furnish.
• Adam Dreyfuss is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• Adam Dreyfuss, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, and consumer-protection claims, and any claim that the App infringes intellectual-property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated "terrorist-supporting," and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Miscellaneous

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
