At Clearspace, we take your privacy seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy to learn how we treat your personal data in connection with your use the Services. By using or accessing our Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined below, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use and share your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you are a Minor (as defined below), please see the “Personal Data of Minors” section below for additional information about how the Services monitor your device traffic.

Remember that your use of Clearspace’s Services is at all times subject to our Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.

You may print a copy of this Privacy Policy by .

As we continually work to improve our Services, we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Upon such changes, we will alert you to material changes by placing a notice on the Clearspace website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes.

What this Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers how we treat Personal Data that we gather when you access or use our Services. “Personal Data” means any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual and also includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” or “sensitive personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules or regulations. This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people we don’t manage.

Personal Data of Minors

Our Services are intended for primary use by a parent or legal guardian (each, a “Parent”) and designed to enable Parents to monitor and manage device usage by their Minor. As used in this Privacy Policy, if you are under 13 years of age you are a “Child” and if you are under 18 years of age you are a “Minor.” If you are a Minor who has the Clearspace Family application installed on your device in connection with your Parent’s use of the Services, all of your device traffic will be routed through our infrastructure in order to apply controls set by your Parent and to generate reports about your device usage for your Parent.

If you are a Minor, we may seek your or your Parent’s to consent to the use of your Personal Data in connection with the Services, depending on applicable privacy laws.

In particular, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent (“Verifiable Parental Consent”) before they knowingly collect personal information (as defined in COPPA) online from a Child. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from a Child without obtaining Verifiable Parental Consent, except for the limited amount of personal information we need to collect in order to obtain Verifiable Parental Consent (“Required Information”). Until we have received Verifiable Parental Consent, we will only use Required Information for the purpose of obtaining Verifiable Parental Consent. If you are a Child, please do not attempt to send any personal information about yourself to us before we obtain Verifiable Parental Consent, except for the Required Information in the context of the Verifiable Parental Consent process. If you believe that a Child has provided us with personal information (beyond the Required Information) without our obtaining Parental Consent, please contact us at support@clearspace.org. We do not condition participation in our Services on disclosure of more personal information from a Child than is reasonably necessary for that participation, and we do not retain Personal Data from a Child longer than is reasonably necessary in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was disclosed. For additional information about our data retention practices relating to personal information from or about a Minor, please see the “Data Retention” section below.

Further, the Services do not enable a Minor to disclose Personal Data to third parties or publicly through use of the Services, and Clearspace only discloses Personal Data to its service providers in accordance with applicable law. Clearspace does not use Personal Data collected from a Minor to contact the Minor (other than as required to fulfill the Minor’s request via the Services and permitted by applicable law), for targeted, cross-contextual, or behavioral advertising, or for any other purpose other than as described herein and as reasonably necessary to provide the Services in accordance with applicable law.

If you are a Parent, you may contact us at any time to ask that (a) we stop collecting Personal Data from a Minor or (b) we delete any Personal Data already collected from the Minor (although note that we may further retain information in an anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated form where that information would not identify such Minor personally).

Data Retention

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services or to perform our business or commercial purposes for collecting your Personal Data. When establishing a retention period for specific categories of data, we consider who we collected the data from, our need for the Personal Data, why we collected the Personal Data, and the sensitivity of the Personal Data. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.

We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within the time period required by applicable privacy laws. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

If you are a California resident, you may request to limit our use of your Sensitive Personal Data to only the permitted purposes above under “Processing of Sensitive Personal Data.” If you are a resident of another state, you may withdraw your consent for our processing of your Sensitive Personal Data depending on the applicable privacy law.

To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a request on your behalf.

Appealing a Denial

If you are a Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia resident and we refuse to take action on your request within a reasonable period of time after receiving your request in accordance with this section, you may appeal our decision.
