ClearRole is a service operated by ClearRole Technologies FZCO (Licence No. 89728, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZA); registered at Unit DSO-THUB-G-D-FLEX-G146B, THUB, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, UAE), which is the data controller. Throughout this policy, “ClearRole”, “we” and “us” refer to that service. For any privacy question or request, contact privacy@clearrole.co.
We use your data to generate and deliver your career intelligence reports. Where you have bought a report, we do this because it is necessary to provide what you have paid for. For reports we provide free of charge, we do it on the basis of your consent. Our reports are informational — you act on them yourself. We make no automated decisions that produce legal effects about you, and nothing we produce is used to make or inform an employment decision about you.
We ask for these two things separately: your consent to generate and deliver your reports, and your consent to include your information in the anonymised, aggregated insights described in Section 3. You can give one without the other. Declining the second does not affect your reports in any way, and you can change your mind at any time.
If you have given the separate consent described in Section 2, we may create, use, share, license, or sell fully anonymised, aggregated insights drawn from the information our users provide — for example, compensation and career-progression trends across a function, sector, or seniority level — to third parties for research, benchmarking, and commercial purposes. This data is aggregated, stripped of anything that could identify you, no longer personal data, and cannot be traced back to you. Your individual data — including your compensation — is never sold, shared, or re-identified in any form that could identify you.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the providers that run ClearRole, under contract and only as needed:
Where a report reviews a specific opportunity, we may check publicly available information about the organisation named in the job description so that the report can say what could and could not be corroborated. That check is carried out through Anthropic using its web search providers, currently Brave Search and TurboPuffer (United States). The check looks up the organisation, not you.
Each of these providers engages its own sub-processors to run its service, under contract and subject to equivalent data-protection obligations. Anthropic publishes its current list at trust.anthropic.com.
Your data is stored in the European Union (Frankfurt) by our infrastructure provider. To generate and deliver your reports, and to take payment where you buy one, limited data is also processed in the United States by the service providers named in Section 4, under contractual data-protection terms. By using ClearRole you consent to the storage of your data in the EU and to these transfers between the UAE, the EU, and the United States for these purposes.
We keep your profile while your relationship with ClearRole is active, and for 24 months after your last activity, after which it is deleted or fully anonymised. You can ask us to delete it sooner (Section 7), and where you delete your account from your workspace the data is purged within 30 days.
Two things sit outside that period. Anthropic retains the information sent to it, and the report it returns, for up to 30 days under its own API terms, for safety and security purposes. And where you have bought a report, we keep the record of that purchase for as long as UAE law requires us to keep financial records, separately from your profile.
At any time you can access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you, and withdraw any consent you have given. Email privacy@clearrole.co and we will respond within 30 days. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out. If you close your account while holding report credits you have paid for and not used, those credits are forfeited, so use them before you delete your account.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, held in an access-controlled database with row-level security, and is not publicly readable. Access is limited to authorised ClearRole personnel.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics. ClearRole stores a small amount of information in your own browser so that the service works: your progress through the questionnaire, and your sign-in session if you have one. This is strictly necessary to provide what you have asked for, and it stays on your device. Clearing your browser storage signs you out and discards any unfinished questionnaire.
ClearRole is for working professionals and is not intended for anyone under 18.
We may update this policy; material changes will be notified by email or in the product, and the “last updated” date will change.
