Privacy Policy

The short version

ClearWeek turns school newsletters into calendar events. We collect as little as possible, we never log into your email, and we delete raw newsletters after 7 days. Nothing here is sold or shared for advertising, ever.

If you only use newsletter scanning

Newsletters you paste or upload are processed in memory to find events and are not stored on our servers. There is no account. Anything the app saves for you (child names, saved events) lives in your own browser and can be erased anytime in Settings.

If you use Automatic forwarding

To make the automatic version work, we store:

• Your email address (that is your account; there is no password).
• The events we extract, until you delete them or your account.
• The raw forwarded newsletter, for 7 days only, so we can debug a failed scan. After 7 days it is deleted automatically.
• The subject line and sender of each newsletter you forward, and the history of event changes (created, moved, updated), for as long as the newsletter or event exists in your account. Deleting a newsletter removes its events; deleting your account removes everything.
• A record of each email we sent you (your address, the subject line, and whether it was delivered) and of each phone reminder (the reminder's title and date, never child names), kept for 90 days so we can confirm they actually went out.

ClearWeek never logs into your inbox and cannot see any email you don't forward. You (or a rule you create in your own email) choose exactly what gets sent to your private ClearWeek address.

Who else touches the data

• Google (Gemini AI) reads newsletter content to find the events. We use Google's paid tier, which means your content is not used to train their AI.
• Postmark receives forwarded emails and sends our emails to you (sign-in links, event digests, a note when a weekly newsletter seems to have gone missing, a confirmation when you subscribe, and feedback you send us). Their own systems retain processed email for a limited period.
• Stripe handles payment if you subscribe. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us; we store only Stripe's customer and subscription references and your subscription status.
• Neon hosts our database and Vercel hosts the app.
• Apple, Google and Mozilla push services deliver phone notifications to your device if you turn them on. They carry the reminder's title and date for the moment of delivery, never child names.

Cookies

ClearWeek sets one cookie, named ss_session, and only after you sign in. It keeps you signed in and nothing else; it is not used for tracking or advertising, and signing out removes it. There are no analytics, advertising, or third-party cookies, and no analytics scripts at all.

If you send feedback

The Feedback form in Settings emails your message, the page you were on, and the contact email you choose to give to the ClearWeek team. It is not stored in our database.

If you turn on phone notifications

Phone notifications are off unless you turn them on. While they are on, the titles, dates, and times of events saved on your device are stored so ClearWeek can send your reminders; child names and tags never leave your device. Turn notifications off and that stored data is deleted.

If you turn on account sync

Account sync is off unless you turn it on. While it is on, the data ClearWeek keeps on your device (your children including their first names, saved events, colors, and preferences) is stored with your account so a new phone can restore it when you sign in. Turn it off and the stored copy is deleted.

About children

ClearWeek is for parents and guardians (18 and older) and does not collect information from children. Child names you add for color tagging stay in your browser only and are never sent to our servers, with one exception you control: the optional account sync described above. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we delete it and its data and let the account's email know. If you believe a child has created an account, email hello@lanternorchard.com.

Deleting everything

On-device data: Settings, then "Erase all ClearWeek data on this device". Account data: email hello@lanternorchard.com and everything (account, events, logs) is deleted. A self-serve delete button is planned.
