Privacy Policy

ClearLine is built for executive leaders handling sensitive governance matters. We take the protection of your data seriously, and this policy explains exactly what we collect, how we use it, and what control you have.

Last updated: March 15, 2026·Version 2.0·privacy@clearline.app

Summary

  • We collect only what is necessary to operate the simulation platform.
  • We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
  • All data is encrypted at rest and in transit with row-level access controls.
  • You can access, export, or delete your data at any time from Settings.
  • We respond to all privacy requests within 30 days.

Section 1

Data we collect

Account data

When you register, we collect your email address, chosen display name, and organizational role. We do not require a phone number or physical address. Your password is hashed by Supabase Auth and never stored in plaintext.

Simulation and session data

Each simulation session records the scenario you ran, the decisions you made at each inject, timestamps, and the resulting scores across eight governance dimensions. This data constitutes your preparedness profile and is required for the platform to function.

Usage and behavioral data

We log page views, feature interactions, and session duration to improve the platform experience. This data is aggregated and is not sold or shared with third parties. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.

Contact and support data

If you contact us via the contact form or email, we store your name, email, message content, and the subject category to manage the inquiry and track resolution.

Section 2

How we use your data

Delivering the simulation experience

Your account data and session history are used to generate your preparedness profile, calculate dimension scores, and present accurate debrief reports. This is the primary and necessary use of your data.

Platform improvement

Aggregated and anonymized usage patterns help us understand which scenarios are most valuable, where users encounter difficulty, and how the scoring model can be refined. Individual decision data is never used in identifiable form for this purpose.

Communications

We may send transactional emails related to your account (password resets, critical security notices). We do not send marketing emails without your explicit opt-in, and you may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.

Legal and compliance obligations

We may process and retain data to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful government requests, enforce our terms, or protect the rights and safety of users.

Section 3

Data storage and security

Infrastructure

All data is stored in Supabase-managed PostgreSQL databases hosted on AWS infrastructure. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256. All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Our database instances are not publicly addressable.

Row-level security

Every database table uses Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) policies. This means that authenticated queries are scoped to the requesting user by default — your data cannot be accessed by other users, even if they share the same database instance.

Retention

Account and simulation data is retained for the life of your account plus 12 months after deletion. Contact inquiry data is retained for 24 months. Aggregate and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

Access controls

Access to production systems is restricted to named personnel using multi-factor authentication. We do not grant third-party vendors direct database access. All access is logged and reviewed quarterly.

Section 4

Data sharing

We do not sell your data

ClearLine does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties under any circumstances. This is an absolute policy.

Service providers

We use a small number of carefully selected service providers to operate the platform: Supabase (database and authentication), and infrastructure providers. These processors act under written data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

Enterprise accounts

If your account is provisioned under an enterprise or team license, your administrator may have access to aggregated reports on your preparedness profile. They do not have access to your individual decision choices. The scope of administrator access is defined in your enterprise agreement.

Legal disclosure

We may disclose data if required by a valid legal process. Where permitted, we will notify affected users before complying with such requests.

Section 5

Your rights

Access and portability

You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you at any time. We will provide it in a machine-readable format (JSON) within 30 days of a verified request.

Correction

You may update your account information (display name, role) directly in Settings. For corrections to other data, contact privacy@clearline.app.

Deletion

You may delete your account from Settings. This removes your profile, simulation history, and all personally identifiable data. Aggregate anonymized data derived from your sessions may be retained. Deletion requests are processed within 14 days.

Restriction and objection

You may request that we restrict processing of your data while a dispute is resolved, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact privacy@clearline.app to exercise these rights. We respond to all requests within 30 days.

Section 6

Cookies and local storage

Authentication session

Supabase Auth stores a signed JWT access token in your browser's local storage to maintain your login session. This token expires after one hour and is automatically refreshed. It contains your user ID and basic profile information — no sensitive personal data.

Preferences

We store your theme preference (dark or light mode) and language selection in local storage. These are not transmitted to our servers and remain on your device.

No tracking cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. We do not participate in cookie-based retargeting networks.

Privacy contact

For all privacy-related requests, complaints, or questions about this policy, contact our privacy team directly. We are committed to responding within 30 days of any verified request.
