Privacy, in plain words
Last updated 13 October 2026
The short version. If you only use the day clock and reminders, nothing leaves the device. If you switch on family calls, we keep the few things needed to connect the right people, and delete messages after a day. There are no adverts, no tracking, and nothing is sold.
What we keep, and why
If you only use the day clock and reminders, Clarity collects nothing. The message and reminders you set are stored on the device and never sent to us or anyone else.
If you switch on family calls, a few things have to be kept on our server so the right people can reach the right companion:
- The name you gave the companion, and the first name of each family member paired with it.
- For each family member: the sign-in Apple gives us (an ID and the email address you chose to share with Apple's sign-in, which can be a hidden one).
- A log of calls: who called, when, and for how long. Never the call itself. Deleted after 30 days.
- Messages, voice notes and photos you send to the companion, so it can show and replay them. Deleted automatically after 24 hours.
- When agreement to family calls was ticked on the companion.
Video and sound are carried by LiveKit and are not recorded. The rest is held by Supabase in the UK. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and nothing is sold or shared. Family members can delete their account from inside the app at any time.
What we never do
- We never record video or audio calls. They pass between the two devices and are gone when the call ends.
- We never show adverts or use advertising trackers.
- We never sell or share information with anyone for their own use.
- We never let anyone connect to a companion silently. Every call starts with a chime and a notice of who is calling.
Camera, microphone and photos
The camera and microphone are used only during a family video call, and the microphone when a family member records a voice note. The photo library is opened only when a family member chooses a photo to send. Clarity cannot use any of them at other times.
Deleting your information
Family members can delete their account from inside the app: open Family calls and tap “Delete my account”. This removes the sign-in and unpairs that phone from every companion. To switch family calls off on a companion, open Set up, then Family video calls.
For anything else, or to ask what we hold about you, email anthony@ajsoftwaredev.org and a real person will reply.
Who we are
Clarity is made by Anthony Jackson in the United Kingdom, and UK data protection law applies. If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app’s update notes will say so.
