- Registered address: Reading, UK
GIE Consultants Ltd is the Data Controller for personal data collected through the App for purposes of UK GDPR, EU GDPR, LGPD, PIPEDA and equivalent laws. In the United States, GIE Consultants Ltd is the Business handling your personal information under CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Account information: Email address and password, collected only when you choose to register an account to claim your earnings. You can use the App anonymously until this point.
- Payout information: The recipient details required by your chosen payout method — typically a verified email address and (depending on the route and country) bank account details, collected only when you initiate a cash withdrawal.
- Referral code (optional): If you enter a referral code during registration, we link your account to the referring user so they receive the referral bonus.
- Communications: Any messages or support requests you send us.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Anonymous device ID: Generated locally on your device and used to associate your pre-registration wallet balance with your device (so you don't lose earnings before you register).
- Device information: Device type, operating system version, mobile network type, app version.
- Usage data: App activity, gameplay data, session duration, features used, in-app events.
- Advertising data: Ad impressions, placement IDs, completion states, and reward credits.
- IP address: Used for fraud detection, rate-limiting, and approximate country-level analytics. Our ad partners may independently use IP address to determine ad rates paid per view.
- Device integrity data: Signals used to verify device authenticity and prevent fraudulent reward claims.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
- Offer completion data: When you complete offers through our offer-wall partners, they share confirmation of offer completion and reward amounts with us so we can credit your wallet.
- Analytics data: Aggregated usage analytics from our service providers to help us understand and improve App performance.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Legal Basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Creating and managing your account | Performance of contract |
| Processing reward earnings and payouts | Performance of contract |
| Showing advertising within the App | Legitimate interests / Consent |
| Preventing fraud and verifying device integrity | Legitimate interests / Legal obligation |
| Sending transactional emails (account verification, payout notifications) | Performance of contract |
| Complying with legal and regulatory requirements | Legal obligation |
| Improving and analysing App performance | Legitimate interests |
| Enforcing our Terms of Service | Legitimate interests |
We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.
4. Advertising
ClearEarn displays advertising served by third-party advertising partners. They may collect device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data.
You can opt out of personalised advertising on Android by enabling "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" in your device settings, or on iOS by selecting "Limit Ad Tracking."
5. Offerwall
Our Earn tab includes an offer-wall powered by third-party offer-wall partners. When you engage with offer-wall content, our partners collect data necessary to verify offer completions and share confirmation with us so we can credit your wallet.
6. Payments, Payouts and Where the Service Operates
How we credit you in-app
Your in-app balance is denominated in Points. 100 Points equals US $1.00. Points are earned from rewarded ads, completed offers, streak bonuses and referrals as described in our Terms of Service. Points are credited to your wallet at the time of the qualifying activity and are visible in real time inside the App.
How payouts are processed
Cash payouts convert Points to your local currency at the time of withdrawal at the rate disclosed in the cash-out screen, and are delivered through regulated third-party payment service providers. The recipient details we ask you for (email and/or bank account) and the destination currency depend on your country and the payout method available to you.
When you request a withdrawal, we share with the payment provider the minimum information needed to deliver your funds (recipient email, payout amount, currency, and where applicable bank account details). Your relationship with the payment provider is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
If and when charitable-donation split payouts are enabled, those specific transactions may additionally be processed through a separate provider, identified at the moment of donation.
We do not store payment card numbers or full bank account numbers beyond what is required to submit the payout to the provider. Recipient details you provide at payout time are retained, in encrypted form, only for reconciliation and tax-reporting obligations.
Where the Service operates
The earning and cash-out features of the App are currently available only to users physically located in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Other countries — including the United States — are outside our current launch scope for operational and payment-rail reasons. We may expand or restrict supported countries over time and will update this policy and the App accordingly.
Earnings vary by location. The amount you earn per ad view depends in large part on the rate our advertising partners pay for impressions shown to users in your country. Rates are set by the global advertising market and are outside our control. A user in a high-demand market may receive substantially more per ad than a user in a lower-demand market. We do not discriminate in which features or games are available to you based on location within our supported countries, but your earning potential will vary.
7. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored with our cloud-infrastructure providers in the United States, European Union, or other regions where they operate.
For transfers of personal data from the UK or European Economic Area to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the European Commission respectively. For users in Brazil, Canada, Australia and other jurisdictions, equivalent contractual safeguards are in place with each processor.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, and validation of activity that affects your wallet.
8. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until account deletion + 30 days |
| Transaction and earnings records | 7 years (legal/financial obligation) |
| Ad logs | 90 days |
| Fraud flags | 2 years |
