Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Clearpick.io (accessible at www.clearpick.io) is an independent editorial website dedicated to B2B SaaS software comparisons. We are not a software vendor, a reseller, or a data broker. Our funding model is documented on our how we make money page.

For any privacy-related question, you can reach us at: contact@clearpick.io.

What Data We Collect

Clearpick.io is a static, read-only website. We do not operate user accounts, subscription forms, or comment sections. The data we collect is therefore minimal.

Automatically collected data: When you visit any page, our web server and analytics system record standard technical information — your anonymized IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and session duration. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Data you provide voluntarily: If you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name and email address. This data is used exclusively to respond to your request and is not shared with third parties.

We do not sell personal data. We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under CCPA.

How We Use Your Data

The data collected serves three purposes:

• Analytics: understanding which content is useful to our readers, tracking page performance, and improving the site experience.
• Security: detecting abusive traffic, bot attacks, and server errors.
• Responding to contact requests: replying to messages sent through our contact form.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making that would produce legal or significant effects on you.

Cookies and Analytics

Clearpick.io uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that does not set any cookies and does not collect personal data. Plausible processes only aggregated, non-identifiable metrics — page views, session counts, and referral sources. No persistent identifier is stored on your device.

Because Plausible is cookieless, no consent banner is required for analytics on this site. You will not be asked to accept or reject tracking cookies when you visit Clearpick.io. For full details on how Plausible handles data, see their data policy.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other tracking technology that sets persistent cookies or shares your data with advertising networks.

For a complete breakdown of the cookies present on this site (including any set by third-party embeds or scripts), see our Cookies Policy.

Commercial Links

Clearpick.io is currently self-funded. No active affiliate relationships are in place. External links to software vendor sites are standard navigational links; no tracking cookies are placed by Clearpick when you click them.

Our legal notice explains our editorial independence policy in detail.

Third-Party Services

Clearpick.io interacts with the following third-party services, each of which may process limited technical data:

• Vercel (hosting): serves the website and processes HTTP request logs including IP addresses. Vercel complies with applicable data security standards. See Vercel's privacy policy.
• Plausible Analytics (self-hosted): anonymized, cookieless traffic metrics. No personal data transmitted to third-party servers.

We do not integrate social media widgets, advertising networks, or data enrichment services that would share your browsing behavior with third parties.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access: request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to correction: ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to deletion: ask us to delete your personal data (right to be forgotten).
• Right to opt out: California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. Note: Clearpick does not sell personal data. This right applies to any data sharing with third parties.
• Right to non-discrimination: exercising any of the above rights will not affect your access to our content.

To exercise any of these rights, send a written request to contact@clearpick.io. We will respond within 30 days. Please include enough detail to identify your request (e.g., the email address used in a contact form submission).

Data Retention and Security

Analytics data (aggregated, non-personal) is retained indefinitely for historical trend analysis. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months and then deleted.

We apply standard technical safeguards to protect the data we process: HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls on server infrastructure, and no storage of sensitive personal information. Given that we collect minimal data, the attack surface is correspondingly small.

In the event of a data breach affecting personal data you have provided (e.g., via the contact form), we will notify affected individuals within 72 hours to the extent required by applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, new third-party services, or updates to our data practices. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy at least once a year.

Continued use of Clearpick.io after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
