Privacy Policy
The short version
- Clauzzz works from counts only: time, tokens, prompt pings and similar numbers from your AI coding tools. We never collect your prompts, the answers, your code, file names or repository names.
- Check-ins (how drained you feel, how you slept) are optional and only you see them.
- No ads, no tracking cookies, no selling or renting your information, and no training of AI models on it.
- Usage analytics in the iPhone app is optional and off unless you turn it on. Even then it never includes your email, your account or your check-ins.
- Sharing is off until you choose it: a weekly card you post yourself, a public Clauzzz badge, and log-off buddies. They show Clauzzz’s mood or your week’s totals, never your check-ins (see Sharing you turn on).
- You can delete your account and all of its Clauzzz data at any time.
1. Who we are
Clauzzz is operated by HBAI LLC (“HBAI”, “we”, “us”). This policy covers the Clauzzz website at clauzzz.com (including your dashboard), the Clauzzz API at api.clauzzz.com, the Clauzzz Mac and iPhone apps, and the integrations Clauzzz sets up in your AI coding tools (together, the “Service”). For questions or requests, email privacy@clauzzz.com.
2. What we collect
Account information
- Your email address and password. The password is stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider; we never see it.
- If you choose “Continue with Google”, the details Google shares for sign-in: your email address, and the name and profile picture link on your Google account. Clauzzz uses only the first name, and only on invites you make and with log-off buddies (see below). It never uses the picture.
- When your account was created and when you last signed in.
Invites and the waitlist
- Whether you have access, and how you got it: an invite (and who sent it), a launch code, or the waitlist. Until you have access, when you joined the waitlist and your place in line.
- Your invites: each one’s code, the private note you gave it (such as “for Sam”), when it was made, when it expires, and whether someone joined with it. You can see whether the person you invited has started using Clauzzz, but not their email, name or counts.
- Anyone with one of your invite links sees your first name from your sign-in profile (if it has one) before they sign in. Nothing else about you is shown.
- Your share link’s code, and which waitlist sign-ups came through it. We show you how many, not who.
Sharing you turn on
Each of these is off until you act, and you can stop each one at any time. None of them ever includes your check-ins, prompts, tool names, tokens or anyone else’s numbers.
- Your weekly card. “Share your week” draws an image in your browser: your week’s time with AI, the nights you logged off on time (or days within your limit), a bar for each day, Clauzzz, and your share link. It is not uploaded to us. Only you decide whether to post it, and once posted, whoever sees the post sees what’s on the card.
- Public Clauzzz badge. We keep whether your badge is on. While it is, anyone with its address (which uses the same code as your share link) can see Clauzzz’s mood for today in a few words: sunny, getting sleepy or fangs out. Nothing else. While it is off, the address shows a plain Clauzzz badge with no information about you. Turning it off takes effect within five minutes, as copies cached by browsers and image proxies (such as GitHub’s) expire.
- Log-off buddies. We keep the buddy requests you send and receive, and who your buddies are. Someone you send a request to sees your first name from your sign-in profile (if it has one); you see only the link you entered until they accept. Once you both agree, each of you sees the other’s first name and Clauzzz’s mood for today, and nothing else: no hours, tools or check-ins. Either of you can remove the other at any time, which ends it for both of you at once. Declining a request deletes it.
Your boundaries
Your daily limit, curfew, Clauzzz’s voice, whether Clauzzz should catch prompts after your limit or curfew, and your time zone.
Connected tools
For each AI coding tool you connect (for example Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline or Antigravity): which tool it is, a label for the computer it runs on (such as “Alex’s MacBook”), the first characters of its Clauzzz key, a one-way hash of the key, and when it last reported.
Activity counts from your AI tools
When you connect a tool, it sends Clauzzz numbers only, through the tool’s own telemetry (configured for metrics only) and small hooks that send no text:
- per day and per tool: tokens used (by model name and type, such as input or output), active time, and counts of prompts, sessions, commits, pull requests, lines of code added and removed, and code edits accepted or declined;
- which minutes of the day each tool was active;
- the time a prompt was sent or finished, without its content;
- night passes you take (when, and for how long).
Our servers keep only an allowlist of fields (counts, the model name and the count type) and drop everything else a tool might send before anything is stored.
Check-ins (optional)
If you agree and choose to answer: how drained you feel and how you slept, each on a 1–5 scale, and tags you pick from a fixed list (such as “Took a walk” or “Deadline”). There is no free text. From these and your activity counts we compute your wellness scores and patterns (see Consumer health data).
Technical information
Like any website or API, our hosting provider processes your IP address, browser or app version and request times to deliver the Service, block abuse and enforce rate limits. Our own logs record the route and error type of a request, never its body, keys or tokens. The Mac app checks clauzzz.com for a newer version about once a day; that request carries only the app and macOS versions, and an update downloads only if you choose to install it. If you allow notifications, the iPhone app gives us that phone’s Apple push token. We use it only to send Clauzzz’s own nudges (when your day passes its limit or runs past curfew) through Apple’s Push Notification service, and we delete it when you sign out on that phone, clear its data or delete your account. The website keeps your sign-in session in your browser’s local storage. The website uses no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
Optional usage analytics (iPhone app)
The iPhone app has a switch, “Share anonymous usage” under Your data, your choice. It is off unless you turn it on. While it is on, the app sends the following to PostHog, our analytics provider, so we can fix crashes and see which features get used:
- the app being installed, updated, opened or put in the background;
- crash reports (the error and where in the app’s code it happened);
- a few moments: finishing setup, creating an account or signing in, pairing or unpairing your Mac, and turning analytics on;
- the device model, iOS version, app version and language PostHog adds to each event.
These are sent under a random ID created on your phone. They are not linked to your account or email, and we ask PostHog not to look up a location or keep IP addresses. They never include your check-ins, wellness scores, Screen Time data, coding time, prompts or code. Turning the switch off stops sending and forgets the random ID, and so does “Clear data on this phone”.
3. What stays on your devices
- iPhone: if you turn on Screen Time features, Apple’s Family Controls frameworks keep app usage on your phone and do not share which apps you use with Clauzzz. The name you give Clauzzz, your notification wording and preferences, and the phone’s timer are stored on the phone. Reminders are local notifications scheduled on the phone.
- Mac and iPhone together: if you pair them on your local network, short activity summaries travel directly between your devices over an encrypted connection. Pairing keys are kept in the Keychain on each device.
- Mac: to connect a tool, the Mac app (or your AI agent following Clauzzz’s setup, with your approval) edits that tool’s own settings file on your computer and keeps a backup of the original. The file’s contents are not sent to us.
4. What we never collect
Your prompts, the AI’s responses, your code, file names or paths, repository or project names, browsing history, contacts, precise location, or advertising identifiers.
5. How we use information
- To run the Service: Clauzzz’s mood, your status line, the dashboard, prompt catch after your limit or curfew, night passes and reminders.
- To compute your typical day, wellness scores and patterns, shown only to you.
- To keep the Service secure and reliable: authentication, rate limits and abuse prevention.
- To answer you when you contact us, and to meet legal obligations.
We do not use your information for advertising, we do not sell or rent it, we do not build profiles about you for anyone else, and we do not use it to train AI models.
6. Consumer health data
Some laws, such as Washington’s My Health My Data Act and Nevada’s consumer health data law, treat information about your wellbeing as “consumer health data”. At Clauzzz this means your check-ins (drained and sleep ratings, and tags) and the wellness scores and patterns we compute from them and from your activity counts. Our separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy sets out exactly what we collect, why, who receives it and how to use your rights.
- Collected from: you, only when you choose to check in, and from your connected tools’ counts.
- Used to: show you your own scores and patterns, such as whether heavier AI days are followed by worse sleep. Nothing else.
- Consent: check-ins are optional. Before your first one, Clauzzz shows what it collects, why, who receives it and how to stop, and asks you to agree. The wellness scores computed from your tools’ counts are part of the service you ask for when you connect a tool.
- Shared with: only the service providers in section 7, under contract, to store and process it for us. Never sold, never shared for advertising, never shared with your employer.
- Your rights: see your data in your dashboard. “Stop check-ins” in your account withdraws consent and deletes every check-in; “Clear today’s answers” deletes one day’s; deleting your account removes all of it at once. Or email privacy@clauzzz.com. We answer within 45 days.
Clauzzz is a general wellness tool. Its scores and patterns are not medical advice and are not used to diagnose or treat anything.
7. Who we share it with
We use these service providers to run Clauzzz. They process data on our behalf only:
| Provider | What it does for Clauzzz |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Accounts, sign-in and the database that holds your settings, counts and check-ins |
| Vercel | Hosts the website and the API |
| Upstash | Short-lived caching of today’s status and rate limits |
| “Continue with Google” sign-in, if you use it; fonts on our web pages | |
| Apple | Distributes the iPhone and Mac apps, and delivers iPhone notifications |
| PostHog | Optional usage analytics and crash reports from the iPhone app, only if you turn them on (see Optional usage analytics) |
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people’s safety or our rights, or as part of a merger or sale of the business, in which case this policy continues to apply and we will tell you. We do not share your information with your employer, or with other Clauzzz users except what you choose under Sharing you turn on: Clauzzz’s mood for today on a public badge, or with buddies you accepted (with your first name), and whatever you post from your weekly card.
8. How long we keep it
- Account, boundaries and connected tools: until you delete them or your account. A tool’s key stops working after 30 days without any reports.
- Activity counts and check-ins: up to 400 days, then deleted automatically every day.
- Night pass records: deleted 30 days after the pass ends.
- Badge setting and buddies: until you turn the badge off, remove the buddy or request, or delete your account. A badge’s cached image lasts up to five minutes.
- Today’s cached status and rate-limit counters: minutes to hours.
- Hosting logs: a short period set by our hosting provider.
- Optional usage analytics: kept by PostHog in our project. Because it carries only a random ID, it can’t be traced back to you or your account.
When you delete your account, everything above is deleted at once. Copies in our database provider’s backups expire within 30 days.
9. Your choices and rights
- See your data: your dashboard at clauzzz.com/dashboard shows your day, week, check-ins, connected tools and boundaries.
- Change it: edit your boundaries, remove a connected tool, or stop checking in at any time.
- Delete your account: in your dashboard (Settings, then Delete account) or in the iPhone app (Your Clauzzz account, then Delete account). This deletes your account and all of its Clauzzz data from our servers. You can also email us.
- Clear a phone: in the iPhone app, “Clear data on this phone” removes Clauzzz’s data from that phone.
- Stop sharing: in your dashboard, turn the public badge off in Settings, or remove a buddy in Log-off buddies. Both take effect right away (a posted badge image within five minutes).
- Usage analytics: turn “Share anonymous usage” on or off in the iPhone app at any time. It starts off.
- Get a copy: email us and we will send you your data in a common format.
We will verify that a request comes from the account holder, usually by replying to the account’s email address, and answer within 30 days (45 where state law allows). We will not treat you differently for using any of these rights.
10. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Tool keys are stored only as one-way hashes. The database allows each account to reach only its own rows, and the most sensitive tables are reachable only through our server. In the Mac and iPhone apps, your sign-in is kept in the system Keychain. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires, including under the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule.
11. Children
Clauzzz is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. In the European Economic Area and the UK you must be at least 16. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Where data is processed
HBAI LLC is based in the United States, and our providers process data in the United States and other countries where they operate. If you use Clauzzz from outside the United States, your information is transferred there, protected as this policy describes and as the law requires.
13. State and regional rights
Depending on where you live, for example in California, other US states, the European Economic Area or the UK, you may have the right to know, access, correct, delete or port your information, to object to or restrict some processing, and to appeal our decision on a request. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we do not use sensitive information to infer characteristics about you.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on: performing our contract with you (running the Service); your consent (check-ins and optional usage analytics, both of which you can withdraw); and our legitimate interests in keeping the Service secure and working. You may complain to your local data protection authority.
To use any of these rights, email privacy@clauzzz.com.
14. Changes to this policy
We will post any changes here and update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will tell you by email or in the apps before it takes effect.
