Privacy Policy

How Apollo Advisors° collects, uses and protects information in Clarity°.

Last updated: 9 July 2026

Introduction

Introduction

Clarity° is an AI coaching workspace operated by Apollo Advisors° (ABN 34 346 108 139). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit tryclarity.xyz, create an account, use the Clarity° workspace, contact us, subscribe to emails, start a trial, or use a paid plan.

Clarity° is designed for founders, solopreneurs and solo operators. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Apollo Advisors°, “you” means the person using Clarity°, and “session” means a NOTE, NOW or NEXT conversation or free-writing session. A Focus Card is the summary or next-step readback created from a session.

We handle information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), to the extent they apply to us and the relevant activity.

Important notice about AI coaching

Important notice about AI coaching

Clarity° is not a medical, mental-health, crisis, legal, financial, employment or other regulated professional service. AI responses are suggestions for reflection and planning, not professional advice or a substitute for qualified help. Do not use Clarity° for an emergency or a situation that requires immediate support.

When you write in a Clarity° session, use voice input, or ask Clarity° to distil a note, the relevant text or audio is sent to AI services so the requested response, transcription, speech or Focus Card can be produced.

Information we collect and hold

Information we collect and hold

The information we hold depends on the features you use and what you choose to enter. Some information is collected from you, some is created when Clarity° operates, and some is received from authentication, billing, email, hosting, monitoring and analytics providers.

Account and profile information

Account and profile information

  • Your name, email address, Clerk account identifier, profile settings, timezone, coach preferences and account timestamps.
  • Authentication and account-security information, such as sign-in state, verification activity and essential authentication cookies. Clarity° does not receive your Google password when you use Google sign-in.
  • Workspace, plan, trial, subscription status and billing-related state needed to provide access and manage your account.

Session and reflection content

Session and reflection content

  • The writing, prompts, answers, instructions, drafts, voice transcripts and other content you submit in NOTE, NOW and NEXT.
  • Coach messages, conversation history, session dates, mode, completion state and other records needed to show your history and continue a session.
  • Focus Cards, kept thoughts, conversation signals, founder briefings, returning-pattern summaries, evidence excerpts and other derived information created from session content.

Sharing and copying

Sharing and copying

Clarity° provides copy and device share-sheet actions for session text and Focus Cards. The current implementation does not create a public Focus Card URL or a separate recipient account. A shared or copied item can be retained, copied or reshared by anyone who receives it, and Clarity° cannot revoke a copy that has left your device.

A saved-history URL is account-protected and is not a public share link. Sharing it does not give Clarity° a record of who viewed it through the device share sheet.

Support and email information

Support and email information

If you email us or request support, we may hold your message, contact details, attachments and the records needed to respond. We also hold email preferences, unsubscribe or suppression records, delivery status and limited message metadata for transactional and optional product emails.

Trial and billing information

Trial and billing information

Clerk Billing manages Clarity° checkout and subscription state. We receive the account, plan, trial, payment status and billing events needed to provide the service. We do not store full payment card numbers in the Clarity° application. The payment processor presented through Clerk Billing may have its own privacy policy and records.

Technical and operational information

Technical and operational information

  • Browser, device, operating-system, route, request, timestamp, referrer, performance and error information generated when the website or application is used.
  • Security and rate-limiting information used to protect accounts and the service, including operational identifiers and logs.
  • Optional analytics events only after you choose Allow analytics. The current event allowlist is limited to consent changes and product-onboarding events; raw session writing, prompts, coach responses and Focus Card text are not passed as event properties by the reviewed client code.

Sensitive and third-party information

Sensitive and third-party information

Clarity° does not require sensitive information to use its core coaching workflow. Your free-form writing may nevertheless include health, relationship, financial, employment, identity, political, religious or other sensitive information, or information about another person. Treat anything you enter as information you are directing Clarity° and its AI providers to process.

Avoid entering sensitive information that you do not want sent to an AI provider. Do not enter another person’s confidential or personal information unless you have the authority and lawful basis to do so. If you choose to include sensitive information, we handle it for the requested session and related history, subject to the provider and retention limits described in this policy and any consent required by law.

How we use information

How we use information

We use information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes below, or for another purpose permitted or required by law.

Provide and personalise Clarity°

Provide and personalise Clarity°

  • Create and secure your account, keep your profile and preferences, and provide NOTE, NOW, NEXT, session history and Focus Cards.
  • Use the current session and relevant prior conversation context to generate coaching responses, summaries, suggested next steps and returning-pattern reflections.
  • Save drafts and messages, keep your history available, process carry-forward actions, and provide the copy and device share-sheet features you request.

Run AI features

Run AI features

We send the minimum relevant text or audio needed for the AI feature you request. For example, a note may be sent for distillation; a conversation may be sent with its relevant history and profile context; voice input may be sent for transcription; and coach text may be sent for speech generation. Returning-pattern generation may use recent session summaries and short excerpts to produce a tentative pattern and question.

Send service communications

Send service communications

We use account and subscription information to send verification, welcome, billing, security and other service messages. If enabled in Settings, we may also send optional weekly check-ins or other product emails. You can turn off optional weekly emails in Settings or use the unsubscribe link in an email; essential account, security and billing messages may still be sent.

Marketing and model training

Marketing and model training

We do not use session writing, prompts, coach responses or Focus Card content to target advertising. The current Clarity° application contains no workflow that trains or fine-tunes a Clarity° AI model using your session content. AI providers may process inputs for service operation, safety, security or abuse prevention under their own terms and account settings; provider-level retention, human review and training settings are not controlled by the browser application.

AI processing and providers

AI processing and providers

Clarity° uses an AI gateway and model providers to deliver text coaching, note distillation, returning-pattern generation, voice transcription and speech. Model selection is configurable by deployment, so the exact model may change without changing the product workflow.

Current application configuration

Current application configuration

  • The reviewed application routes AI requests through the AI SDK Gateway integration. The repository defaults use OpenAI model identifiers for text generation, transcription and text-to-speech: openai/gpt-4.1-mini, openai/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe and openai/gpt-4o-mini-tts.
  • The gateway and model provider receive the relevant input and may receive the context required to produce the requested output. We do not send a separate embedding or vector record in the current implementation reviewed.
  • AI output can be incomplete, inaccurate, biased or unsuitable for your circumstances. Review it before relying on it, especially for decisions affecting your health, finances, work, relationships or safety.

Voice processing

Voice processing

If you use voice input, an audio recording is sent to the configured transcription provider and the resulting text is placed in the editor. If you use spoken replies, coach text is sent to the configured speech provider and returned as temporary audio. The application does not intentionally store the generated audio file, but the transcribed text can become session content when you submit or save it.

Provider terms and overseas processing

Provider terms and overseas processing

AI processing may occur outside Australia. The application does not promise Australia-only processing or a fixed provider retention period. Provider retention, training, abuse-monitoring, subprocessors, human access and processing locations depend on the provider account configuration and terms in force when the request is made. We will update this policy if those settings materially change.

When we disclose information

When we disclose information

Apollo Advisors° does not sell your personal information. We disclose information only when reasonably necessary to operate Clarity°, provide a feature you request, protect the service, complete a business transaction, or comply with law.

Service providers

Service providers

  • Clerk for authentication, account identity and billing orchestration.
  • Neon PostgreSQL for application data storage and database infrastructure.
  • The configured AI gateway and model providers for coaching, distillation, returning patterns, transcription and speech.
  • Vercel infrastructure for the hosted web application and request processing.
  • Sentry for error and performance monitoring. Sentry is configured with default personal-identifying data collection disabled; an internal account identifier may be attached to an authenticated error event for troubleshooting.
  • Resend for hosted-production email delivery. Local development uses MailHog instead of sending production email.
  • PostHog and Google Analytics 4 may be enabled for a deployment only after you allow optional analytics. The reviewed client does not initialise them before consent.

Cookies, local storage and analytics

Cookies, local storage and analytics

Clarity° uses essential browser storage and cookies for authentication, account continuity, workspace selection and preferences. Clerk may set authentication cookies and apply its own cookie documentation. The application also uses local storage for display preferences and for your analytics choice.

Essential storage

Essential storage

Essential cookies or storage are needed to sign in, keep a session secure, remember the active workspace and preserve necessary display or application state. Blocking them may prevent Clarity° from working correctly.

Optional analytics

Optional analytics

Optional analytics are off until you choose Allow analytics. When enabled for a deployment, the current client is configured for a small allowlist of product events, with page-view autocapture, element autocapture, session recording, performance capture and exception capture disabled. Raw session writing, prompts, coach responses and Focus Card text are not included in the reviewed analytics event properties.

Change your analytics choice

Change your analytics choice

You can later open Privacy choices in the analytics control and choose Not now to withdraw optional analytics. This stops future optional analytics capture in the client; it does not recall information already sent to an analytics provider. You can also manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

International transfers

International transfers

Our providers and their subprocessors may receive, store or process personal information outside Australia. Depending on the provider and deployment, overseas recipients may include the United States, Japan and other countries where the relevant infrastructure operates. Locations and subprocessors can change, and we do not promise that all information stays in Australia.

Before a material provider or processing-region change, we will assess the applicable privacy obligations and update this policy where required. The provider’s own privacy policy and contractual terms may also apply to its processing.

Retention, deletion and export

Retention, deletion and export

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide Clarity°, maintain account and billing records, protect the service, resolve disputes, comply with law and maintain secure backups. We do not publish a single retention period because different records have different operational and legal requirements.

Current product controls

Current product controls

The current UI lets you start a fresh session, copy session text, copy or share a Focus Card, carry content forward and turn off optional weekly emails. It does not currently provide self-service deletion of an individual session, a structured account export, a delete-account button or a public Focus Card link that can be revoked.

Requests and provider records

Requests and provider records

You may request access, correction, deletion or a copy of your personal information using the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity, and we may retain limited information where required for legal, security, billing, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes. Information already sent to an AI, email, analytics, hosting or monitoring provider may remain under that provider’s retention and deletion processes.

Backups and operational records

Backups and operational records

Deleted or corrected information may remain temporarily in encrypted backups, audit records, delivery records, security logs or provider systems until those records expire under the relevant operational cycle. We do not use backups to restore deleted content except where needed for disaster recovery or legal and security purposes.

Security and access

Security and access

We use reasonable technical, organisational and operational safeguards designed to protect information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. These include authenticated access controls, tenant and workspace scoping, encrypted connections, provider security controls, rate limiting, monitoring and restricted operational access.

The application does not provide a general staff console for browsing user sessions. Apollo Advisors° personnel or contractors may access limited information when reasonably necessary for support, security, incident response, legal compliance or service operations, subject to appropriate access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of an eligible data breach, we will assess it and provide notifications required by Australian privacy law.

Your rights and choices

Your rights and choices

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to personal information we hold about you. We will handle a request in accordance with the APPs and other applicable law, and may ask for information needed to verify the requester and locate the relevant records.

Access and correction

Access and correction

You may ask for access to personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or misleading. Where a correction is not technically available in the current UI, contact us and we will assess the request.

Deletion and export

Deletion and export

You may ask us to delete personal information or provide a copy of it where applicable. Some information may need to be retained for legal, billing, security, fraud-prevention, backup or dispute purposes. The current product has copy actions but not a complete structured export or self-service deletion workflow.

Email choices

Email choices

You can disable optional weekly emails in Settings or use an unsubscribe link. We may still send essential account, security, verification and billing communications.

Complaints

Complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, contact us first so we can investigate and respond. We aim to respond within a reasonable time and generally within 30 days where practicable. You may also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you are not satisfied with our response or prefer to complain directly.

Age and wellbeing

Age and wellbeing

Clarity° is intended for people aged 18 and over. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has created an account or submitted information, contact us.

Clarity° is a reflective productivity and coaching tool, not a therapist, doctor, crisis service or confidential professional relationship. If you may be at risk or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or a qualified support service.

Automated decision-making

Automated decision-making

Clarity° uses AI to generate coaching language, summaries, Focus Cards and tentative returning-pattern reflections. We do not currently use those AI outputs to make decisions about your eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, housing, education, essential services or other decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. Account access, trial and subscription state are managed by authentication and billing rules rather than AI coaching output.

Changes to this policy

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, providers, product features or business practices. We will publish the updated version on this page and revise the last updated date when the policy is approved for publication. If a change is materially adverse, we will provide additional notice or choice where required.
