AI-generated content. All product evaluations on Clean Check are generated by artificial intelligence (Claude, by Anthropic) and are provided for informational purposes only. AI models can make mistakes. Results may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Clean Check does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any analysis.
Not medical, nutritional, or professional advice. Nothing on Clean Check constitutes medical advice, dietary advice, nutritional guidance, or a professional recommendation to use or avoid any product for health purposes. Clean Check is a consumer information tool, not a regulated health service. Always read product labels carefully and consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions that affect your health or the health of others.
Product information changes. Manufacturers update formulations, certifications, and labelling without notice. Results may reflect information that was accurate at an earlier date but may no longer be current. Always verify ingredient lists and certifications directly with the manufacturer or retailer before purchasing.
Cached results. To manage service costs, some results are stored in a cache for up to 30 days. A cached result may not reflect the most recent product information available.
No warranties. Clean Check is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Clean Check and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising from your use of or inability to use the service, or your reliance on any content generated by it. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total liability to you shall not exceed INR 500 / USD 5 / EUR 5.

Note on EU/UK representative: We do not have a physical establishment in the EU or UK.

In the interim, please direct all EU/UK data rights requests to privacy@cleancheck.ai.
Clean Check collects minimal data. When you submit a product query, we log:
| Data | Detail | Stored where |
|---|---|---|
| Search query text | The product name, URL, or description you entered | Our server (Railway, US East) |
| Image indicator | Whether a photo was uploaded; the product name identified from it. The image itself is not stored. | Our server (Railway, US East) |
| Approximate region | Country/region inferred from your device's timezone. Not a precise location. | Our server (Railway, US East) |
| Timestamp | Date and time of the query | Our server (Railway, US East) |
| Cache flag | Whether the result was served from cache (yes/no) | Our server (Railway, US East) |
We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, IP address (we receive it but do not log it), precise location, device identifiers, advertising IDs, or any account information. There are no user accounts.
Query text may constitute personal data under applicable law if it could identify you — for example, if you enter a product name alongside personal context. We treat all query logs with the same protections regardless.
Under GDPR Article 6, we rely on the following lawful bases:
We do not rely on consent as a lawful basis for operational logging (consent would be impractical given the anonymous nature of the service). If you object to processing based on legitimate interests, see Your Rights.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or marketing. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for their commercial purposes.
Clean Check uses the following sub-processors and third-party services:
| Service | Purpose | Data shared | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude AI) | AI product analysis | Query text and uploaded image (if any) | United States |
| Web search (via Anthropic) | Product verification | Product name only — no personal identifiers | United States |
| Railway | Server hosting & storage | All logged data (query, timestamp, region) | United States (US East) |
Anthropic's privacy policy: anthropic.com/privacy
Railway's privacy policy: railway.com/legal/privacy
Images uploaded by users are transmitted to Anthropic's API for analysis and are processed in memory only. They are not stored on our servers or retained by us after the API call completes. Please review Anthropic's API data usage policy for information on how they handle submitted content.
Our servers and third-party providers are based in the United States. If you use Clean Check from the EU, UK, or India, your data will be transferred internationally.
Transfers to the US are made under appropriate safeguards. Railway and Anthropic participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. By using Clean Check from the EU/UK, you acknowledge that your data will be processed in the United States under these safeguards.
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, cross-border data transfers are currently permitted to countries not restricted by the Central Government. The United States is not currently on any restricted list. We will update this section if the regulatory position changes.
Clean Check's core function is fully automated — an AI model evaluates product information and generates ratings, recommendations, and verdicts without human review of individual outputs.
These automated outputs are informational only and do not produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on you. They do not affect your access to products, services, credit, employment, or any regulated outcome. You are free to disregard them entirely.
If you are an EU/UK user and believe an automated evaluation has produced a significant effect on you, you have the right to request human review by contacting us at privacy@cleancheck.ai.
We retain server-side query logs for a maximum of 12 months from the date of the query, after which they are deleted. Cached product results are retained for up to 30 days and then expire automatically.
Local data stored on your device (recent search history) is retained until you clear it yourself. See Local Storage below.
If you request deletion of data associated with a specific query before the 12-month period, we will honour that request where technically feasible. Contact us at privacy@cleancheck.ai.
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls on server infrastructure, and use of reputable hosting providers. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected users and relevant supervisory authorities as required by applicable law.
The Clean Check app stores your recent search history locally on your device using browser localStorage or the app's native storage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.
We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. The app does not set any cookies for tracking purposes. The only browser storage used is localStorage for your local recent-searches list.
To clear your local search history, clear your browser's site data for cleancheck.ai, or uninstall the app.

Your continued use of Clean Check after the effective date of an updated policy does not constitute automatic acceptance — if changes materially affect your rights, we will seek fresh acknowledgement where required by law.
