Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2026

In short
  • We only collect what's needed to run an ID/age check a server administrator requested and to operate the dashboard.
  • Your ID document, extracted identity data, and biometric comparison are processed by our verification partner, Didit — we never see raw payment or credential data.
  • Access to any server's verification records is restricted to that server's own administrators (or the Service's full-access administrator).
  • You or your server administrator can delete verification records at any time from the dashboard.
  • We don't sell personal data, and we don't use third-party advertising or analytics cookies.

1. Our Role

This Privacy Policy describes how Clear ("we", "us", "our") handles personal data through the Clear Discord bot and its web dashboard (the "Service"). When a server administrator directs Clear to verify a member, we act largely as a data processor carrying out that server's instructions and as an independent controller for limited purposes of our own — operating, securing, metering, and improving the Service, and complying with law. Server administrators are themselves responsible for having a lawful basis to request verification of their own members; see Section 4 of our Terms of Service.

2. Data We Collect

a. From server administrators (dashboard sign-in)

  • Discord user ID, username, and avatar, obtained via Discord OAuth when you sign in;
  • The list of servers you own or hold Manage Server / Administrator permission in, used only to determine which servers' data you may view;
  • A session cookie that keeps you signed in (see Cookies below).

b. From a member who completes a verification

  • Discord user ID and username;
  • A government-issued ID document image (front and, where applicable, back);
  • Data extracted from that document: full name, date of birth, age, sex, nationality, document type/number, expiration date, and issuing state;
  • A liveness check (a short capture used to confirm a live person is present) and its resulting score;
  • A face-match comparison between the document photo and the liveness capture, and its resulting similarity score;
  • The verification session's status and Didit's full decision payload.

c. Server & configuration data

  • Server (guild) ID and name, channel ID, and the roles/age rules an administrator configures;
  • Which member ran or requested a given verification, and any roles/members an administrator has delegated /idcheck access to.

d. Usage & billing data

  • A server's assigned plan, monthly scan usage, and any bonus credits, recorded in an append-only usage log for billing accuracy and support.

3. How We Use This Data

  • To create and manage verification sessions and evaluate them against a server's configured age/role rules;
  • To automatically grant or remove Discord roles based on a verification result;
  • To display verification records, session detail (including document images and decision data), and server configuration to that server's authorized administrators on the dashboard;
  • To meter and enforce each server's plan and scan allowance;
  • To operate, secure, debug, and improve the Service, including detecting fraud or abuse; and
  • To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests.

We do not use verification data for advertising, and we do not sell personal data to third parties.

4. Sub-Processors & Third Parties

Didit — our identity verification provider. The document capture, liveness check, and face match happen directly on Didit's hosted verification page; Didit processes that data and returns a decision to us. Didit maintains its own data retention and deletion practices, described at docs.didit.me and its privacy policy at didit.me.

Discord — used for authentication (OAuth sign-in), role management, and delivering bot messages. See Discord's Privacy Policy.

We do not otherwise share personal data with third parties except as required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Operator, our users, or others.

5. Retention & Deletion

An open verification link expires automatically 10 minutes after it is created if not completed, and the underlying Didit session is deleted roughly 15 minutes after that. A completed verification's decision data and document images are archived in our database so the requesting server's administrators can review it later; images are served only to authorized administrators of that server. A server administrator (or a full-access administrator of the Service) can permanently delete any verification record, including its archived images, from the dashboard at any time — this cannot be undone. We also periodically purge stale, never-completed sessions.

We retain a server's configuration and usage/billing history for as long as Clear remains installed in that server (or as needed for legitimate business/legal purposes after removal), and dashboard sign-in sessions expire automatically after 7 days.

6. Security

The dashboard is gated behind Discord OAuth login; access to a server's data is scoped to administrators of that specific server (or the Service's full-access administrator). Session cookies are httpOnly and never exposed to client-side scripts. Webhook events from Didit are authenticated with an HMAC signature and a timestamp window to prevent replay or forgery. API keys and other secrets are kept server-side and are never sent to the browser. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies

We use two cookies, both first-party and strictly functional: a short-lived OAuth state cookie used only during Discord sign-in to prevent forgery, and a session cookie that keeps you signed in to the dashboard. We do not use third-party advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

Clear exists to help Discord servers enforce their own age requirements, which necessarily means some verification attempts will come from users who do not meet a server's minimum age — that is the expected outcome of a failed check, not a violation of this policy. That said, the Service is not directed at children, and use of Discord itself is subject to Discord's own minimum age requirements. If you believe a child's data has been submitted to us in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, contact us using the details in Contact and we will take appropriate action, which may include deleting the record.

9. International Data Transfers

Our infrastructure and our sub-processor Didit may process and store data in countries other than your own, including the United States and countries within the European Economic Area. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

10. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. For data submitted through a specific server's /idcheck, the fastest path is usually that server's administrator, who can delete the record directly from the dashboard. You can also contact us directly using the details in Contact, and we will route or fulfill the request as appropriate. You may decline to complete any verification request at any time.

11. Payments

The Service does not currently process payments directly. If paid plans are enabled in the future, payment card and billing details will be collected and processed by a third-party payment processor (currently planned to be Stripe) under that processor's own privacy policy — we do not store full payment card numbers ourselves.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do, and material changes will be reflected here.
