Privacy Policy

This policy explains, in plain language, which personal data Claru collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how you can exercise your rights under the GDPR, the Brazilian LGPD and equivalent laws.

Last updated: September 1, 2026Legal document
01

Who is responsible for your data

Claru is the controller of personal data collected through claru.org, the collector app and related support channels. Whenever we act on behalf of a client that defines its own purposes — for example in a custom collection project — we act as a processor and the client remains the controller.

You can reach our data protection officer at any time at contato@claru.ai with the subject line “Privacy”.

We never sell personal data. Collected videos are licensed as training datasets, always after privacy processing.

02

Personal data we collect

We collect only what is necessary to operate the collector network, deliver datasets to clients and comply with legal and tax obligations.

  • Account data: name, email, phone, country and city, preferred language and login credentials.
  • Payment data: payout details, bank or digital wallet information and the history of approved payments.
  • Submitted content: videos, images, audio and capture metadata (date, duration, device model and, when enabled, approximate location).
  • Usage data: IP address, device identifiers, pages viewed, referral source and interaction events.
  • Communications: messages exchanged by email, WhatsApp or support forms.
03

How we use your data

Each purpose below maps to a concrete, time-limited operation. We do not reuse data for purposes incompatible with those disclosed at collection time.

  • Create and manage your collector or client account.
  • Distribute collection tasks, validate submissions and calculate payouts.
  • Curate, annotate and license training datasets for physical AI and robotics clients.
  • Prevent fraud, duplicate submissions and platform abuse.
  • Send operational messages and, with your consent, news and collection opportunities.
  • Comply with accounting, tax and lawful authority requirements.
04

Legal bases for processing

We process personal data to perform our contract with you (GDPR art. 6(1)(b); LGPD art. 7, V), to comply with legal obligations, on the basis of legitimate interests in protecting the platform and improving our services, and on consent — freely given, informed and revocable — for marketing messages and non-essential cookies.

Where processing relies on legitimate interests, we run and document a balancing test, available upon reasoned request.

Withdrawing consent

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand. Requests are handled within 15 business days.

05

Videos, images and people filmed

Collectors warrant that they have permission from every identifiable person in their submissions and comply with local filming laws. Before any delivery, we apply automated pipelines and human review to blur faces, license plates, documents, screens showing sensitive data and other identifiable elements, unless explicit authorization says otherwise.

If you find your likeness in content collected by Claru, request removal at contato@claru.ai; the material is pulled from active datasets and flagged to licensees.

Content featuring minors, healthcare settings, visible banking data or intimate material is rejected and permanently deleted.

06

Who we share data with

We share data only as far as necessary and always under contracts with confidentiality and data protection clauses.

  • Infrastructure, storage and video processing vendors.
  • Payment providers responsible for transfers to collectors.
  • Partner annotation teams, bound by confidentiality and audit agreements.
  • Licensed clients, who receive datasets after the privacy processing described above.
  • Public authorities, when required by law, court order or to defend legal rights.
07

International transfers

Claru works with collectors and clients in several countries, which may involve international data transfers. In those cases we rely on standard contractual clauses, destination-country assessments and complementary technical measures — such as encryption in transit and at rest — to keep protection equivalent to the country of origin.

08

Retention periods

Account data is kept while the relationship is active and for up to five years afterwards, for legal defense and tax compliance. Rejected submissions are deleted within 90 days. Access logs are kept for six months, as required by Brazilian internet law.

Datasets already licensed remain with clients under the license agreement, always in processed form and without direct identifiers.

09

Information security

We use TLS encryption for all communications, encryption at rest for submitted content, least-privilege access control, strong authentication for internal staff, audit logging and periodic vulnerability reviews.

In case of a security incident with material risk, we notify affected individuals and the competent authority within statutory deadlines, describing the nature of the incident, the data involved and the measures taken.

10

Your rights

You may exercise the rights below free of charge at contato@claru.ai. We may request additional information to verify your identity before proceeding.

  • Confirmation of processing and access to your data.
  • Correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data.
  • Anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data.
  • Portability to another provider under applicable law.
  • Information about the parties we share data with.
  • Objection to legitimate-interest processing and withdrawal of consent.

Supervisory authority

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the ANPD (Brazil) or the data protection authority of your country of residence.

11

Children and teenagers

The platform is intended exclusively for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors and delete any record identified as such as soon as we become aware of it.

12

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal, technical or operational changes. The last update date always appears at the top of the page and, for material changes, we notify you by email or a prominent site notice at least 15 days in advance.
