Privacy Policy

Clear Origin ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to providing radical transparency regarding corporate infrastructure without compromising individual consumer data rights. This Privacy Policy details how our mobile application and web nodes collect, manage, and isolate information when you utilize our platform.

Camera hardware access: To utilize our retail product scanner, Clear Origin requests access to your smartphone device's local camera framework. The camera lens stream is strictly utilized within local memory to read and decode universal product barcodes (UPC/EAN). We never capture, record, store, transmit, or review your camera feed or video frames on external servers. Barcode data processing is strictly mathematical.

Search string data: When you manually utilize our database lookup search field, your query is sent securely to our cloud tables to match and load corresponding corporate records.

Financial transaction security: All payments, donations, and premium "Clear Origin Insider" subscription transactions are processed directly by Stripe (stripe.com), our secure external payment merchant gateway processor. Clear Origin never stores, processes, or receives your full credit card data, bank information, or digital billing credentials on our localized database nodes.

Free tier users: Casual users scanning barcodes or utilizing lookup parameters operate on an ephemeral session basis. No account tracking data or tracking records are cataloged.

Clear Origin Insiders: To support your saved data options, logged-in premium user logs securely preserve your customized configuration toggles, saved alternative bookmarks ("My Conscious Log Book"), and crowd-sourced brand submission strings inside encrypted, authenticated relational database fields.

Clear Origin is a crowd-funded entity funded completely by reader contributions. We strictly adhere to zero corporate monetizing tracks:

• We never sell, lease, trade, or distribute your private search paths or scan histories to third-party data brokers, advertising networks, or corporate analytics boards.
• We utilize modern cloud encryption layers to safeguard our server registries from external breaches.

Clear Origin cross-references real-time public records pulled via internet API interfaces managed by sovereign federal systems, including the Federal Election Commission (FEC) data nodes, USASpending procurement tables, and openFDA public food enforcement logs.

You maintain total ownership of your digital profile footprint. You can delete your Clear Origin profile, saved alternatives grid rows, and account details instantly via the application Settings menu panel, or submit a manual verification data wipe inquiry to hello@theclearorigin.com.
