Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Clariq is a marketplace for advertising in newsletters and niche websites, run from India. Write to support@theclariq.com about anything on this page.

2. What we collect

Your account: your email address, the side of the marketplace you are on, and a display name if you give one. You sign in with a one-time code; there is no password.

If you list a publication: its details, the figures you enter (shown as your claim), and your placements and prices.

If you advertise: your campaign details, the creative files you upload, and your booking requests.

If you connect a calendar or Beehiiv: the minimum access needed to keep your availability or audience figures up to date. Clariq creates its own calendar in your Google account rather than reading your existing ones. Access tokens are stored encrypted.

When you ask Clariq to draft a storefront from a web address: the address, and a one-way fingerprint of your connection used only to limit how often drafts can be requested. Your IP address itself is not stored.

Usage: which pages are visited, how long each is actually open on your screen, which buttons and links are pressed (by their name, never what you type), and which steps are completed — recorded against a random identifier kept in your browser, never your name or email. We record the page, not the address bar, so nothing you typed into a link is captured. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, none of this is recorded.

Problems: when something goes wrong in your browser — a page failing, an error, a request to Clariq not getting through, an action taking too long, or a button pressed again and again — Clariq records what happened, on which page and in which kind of browser, so it can be fixed. Messages are cleaned of anything that looks like an email address or a code before they are kept.

3. Listings made on your behalf

If you allow Clariq to set up your storefront for you, we keep your name, email, a note of how and when you gave permission, and — where we have one — a copy of the message in which you gave it. That record is private to Clariq and is kept so we can show a listing was authorised — and look into it if you tell us it was not.

4. How we use AI

Clariq uses Anthropic's Claude to draft storefront text from a publication's public page and to help a person review submissions. The page text and submission details are sent to Anthropic to produce that draft. Under its commercial API terms, Anthropic does not use this data to train its models.

The AI never decides whether a listing or campaign is approved, and never writes an audience figure or a price.

5. What is public

Once approved, a storefront's name, description, audience figure with how it was established, publishing schedule, placements and prices are public on Clariq.

Never public: your email address, your account, private review notes, permission records, and anything you have not submitted.

6. Who processes it for us

Supabase stores the database, sign-in and uploaded files, in Mumbai (ap-south-1). Vercel hosts the site. Resend sends Clariq's email, through its Tokyo (ap-northeast-1) region. Anthropic produces AI drafts. Google Calendar and Beehiiv, only if you connect them.

An encrypted copy of the database is taken nightly for recovery and kept for 30 days.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use advertising trackers on Clariq.

7. How long we keep it

For as long as your account is open. If you ask us to delete it, it is removed from the live service straight away and from the nightly copies within 30 days. If you have a booking in progress, we will first help you close it, because someone else is relying on it.

8. Your choices

You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by writing to support@theclariq.com. You can remove a listing at any time.

9. Changes

This is a launch draft and will be reviewed by a lawyer. We will email account holders before any material change.
