Privacy Policy

Effective 21 April 2026 · Last updated 21 April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GIE Consultants Ltd ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the ClearEarn mobile application ("App") available worldwide.

ClearEarn is available globally. Depending on where you live, different privacy laws may apply to you — including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 (United Kingdom), the EU GDPR (European Economic Area and Switzerland), the California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA and other US state privacy laws (United States), the LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia), the PDPA (Singapore and others), and equivalent legislation elsewhere. This policy gives everyone, regardless of location, a baseline of the rights and protections required under these frameworks.

1. Who We Are

ClearEarn is operated by GIE Consultants Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 6480238). We can be contacted at:

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.

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:

Baseline rights for all users

In addition to the baseline rights, you have the right to:

Under CCPA / CPRA (California) and other US state privacy laws

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other US states with privacy laws have the right to know, delete, correct, opt out of "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising, limit use of "sensitive personal information," and not be discriminated against for exercising their rights.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. Advertising identifiers shared with Unity Ads for ad delivery may, under some US state laws, be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising. You may opt out by adjusting your device's advertising settings (see §4) or by emailing us at service@clearearn.site with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."

Under LGPD (Brazil)

Brazilian residents have the rights to confirm processing, access, correct, anonymise, block or delete unnecessary data, port data to another service, obtain information about third parties with whom we share data, revoke consent, and review automated decisions. Complaints can be filed with the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) at gov.br/anpd

Under PIPEDA (Canada)

Canadian residents have the right to access and correct their personal information. You can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca

If you live outside the regions listed above and your local law provides privacy rights, we will honour those rights in good faith. Contact us at service@clearearn.site to make a request.

10. Children's Privacy

ClearEarn is intended for users aged 18 and over worldwide. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, which is also the minimum age required by PayPal to receive payouts in most jurisdictions. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States (applicable to users under 13), the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code, and equivalent children's privacy frameworks globally. If we become aware that we have collected data from a person under 18, we will delete it immediately. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us at service@clearearn.site.
