- Email: service@clearearn.site
- Website: https://clearearn.site
- Registered address: Reading, UK
GIE Consultants Ltd is the Data Controller for personal data collected through the App for purposes of UK GDPR, EU GDPR, LGPD, PIPEDA and equivalent laws. In the United States, GIE Consultants Ltd is the Business handling your personal information under CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Account information: Email address and password, collected only when you choose to register an account to claim your earnings. You can use the App anonymously until this point.
- Payout information: The PayPal email address you wish to receive funds at, collected only when you initiate a cash withdrawal.
- Referral code (optional): If you enter a referral code during registration, we link your account to the referring user so they receive the referral bonus.
- Communications: Any messages or support requests you send us.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Anonymous device ID: Generated locally on your device and used to associate your pre-registration wallet balance with your device (so you don't lose earnings before you register).
- Device information: Device type, operating system version, mobile network type, app version.
- Usage data: App activity, gameplay data, session duration, features used, in-app events.
- Advertising data: Ad impressions, placement IDs, completion states, and reward credits.
- IP address: Used for fraud detection, rate-limiting, and approximate country-level analytics. Our ad partners may independently use IP address to determine ad rates paid per view.
- Device integrity data: Device attestation tokens via Google Play Integrity API (Android) and Apple App Attest (iOS) to prevent fraudulent reward claims.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
- Offer completion data: When you complete offers through our offerwall partner (CPAlead), they share confirmation of offer completion and reward amounts with us.
- Analytics data: Aggregated usage analytics from Unity Ads and Supabase to improve app performance.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Legal Basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Creating and managing your account | Performance of contract |
| Processing reward earnings and payouts | Performance of contract |
| Showing advertising within the App | Legitimate interests / Consent |
| Preventing fraud and verifying device integrity | Legitimate interests / Legal obligation |
| Sending transactional emails (account verification, payout notifications) | Performance of contract |
| Complying with legal and regulatory requirements | Legal obligation |
| Improving and analysing App performance | Legitimate interests |
| Enforcing our Terms of Service | Legitimate interests |
We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.
4. Advertising
ClearEarn displays advertising served by Unity Ads (Unity Technologies). Unity Ads may collect device identifiers (GAID on Android, IDFA on iOS), IP address, and ad interaction data. Unity Ads' privacy policy is available at: unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
You can opt out of personalised advertising on Android by enabling "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" in your device settings, or on iOS by selecting "Limit Ad Tracking."
5. Offerwall
Our Earn tab includes an offerwall operated by CPAlead. When you engage with offerwall content, CPAlead collects data necessary to verify offer completions and shares offer completion confirmation with us to credit your wallet. CPAlead's privacy policy is available at: cpalead.com/privacy.php
6. Payments and Payouts
Cash payouts are processed through the PayPal Payouts API (PayPal Holdings, Inc.). When you request a cash withdrawal, we share your PayPal email and the payout amount with PayPal solely to deliver the funds. Your relationship with PayPal is governed by PayPal's own Privacy Statement: paypal.com/uk/legalhub/privacy-full
If and when charitable-donation split payouts are enabled, those specific transactions may additionally be processed through Tremendous, Inc. (tremendous.com/privacy).
We do not store payment card numbers or bank account details. Only the PayPal email you provide at payout time is retained, in encrypted form, for reconciliation and tax-reporting obligations.
Earnings vary by location. The amount you earn per ad view depends in large part on the rate our advertising partners (Unity Ads, CPAlead) pay for impressions shown to users in your country. Rates are set by the global advertising market and are outside our control. A user in a high-demand market (e.g. United States, United Kingdom, Germany) may receive substantially more per ad than a user in a lower-demand market. We do not discriminate in which features or games are available to you based on location, but your earning potential will vary.
7. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on servers operated by Supabase (Supabase Inc.), which provides encrypted database and authentication services. Data may be stored in the United States, European Union, or other regions where Supabase operates infrastructure.
For transfers of personal data from the UK or European Economic Area to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the European Commission respectively. For users in Brazil, Canada, Australia and other jurisdictions, equivalent contractual safeguards are in place with each processor.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data including:
- Encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.2+)
- Database-level row-security policies
- Device integrity verification before processing rewards
- Server-side validation of all financial transactions
8. Data Retention

|---|---|
| Account data | Until account deletion + 30 days |
| Transaction and earnings records | 7 years (legal/financial obligation) |
| Ad logs | 90 days |
