Privacy Policy

Writing is an intimate act. A sentence begun at midnight, a character half-formed, a line you are not yet ready to show anyone: these deserve discretion. This Privacy Policy explains, as plainly as we can, how Clio AI: Creative Writing ("Clio", "we", "us") treats the information that passes through the app. It applies to the Clio AI: Creative Writing mobile application and takes effect on 10 November 2026.

A room without a guest book

Clio has no user accounts and no sign-in. We do not ask for your name, your email address, your telephone number or a password, and we do not build a profile of you. You open the app and you write. That absence is deliberate, and it shapes everything that follows in this policy.

What does pass through our hands

To produce a piece of writing, the app sends the prompts, instructions and text you choose to submit to our servers, and returns the generated result to you. We also receive the limited technical information that any connection requires in order to function, and, through the services described below, information about whether you hold an active purchase or subscription. We do not collect your contacts, your photographs, your precise location or your health data, and we do not sell personal data to anyone.

Where your words are composed

Generations are processed on our own backend, operated by the developer, rather than handed to an outside writing service of our choosing. Your submitted text travels to that backend, is used to create the response you asked for, and the response travels back to your device. We use this content to deliver the feature you requested, not to identify you.

The two companions we rely on

Clio works with a small number of third parties, each for a specific reason. The Apple App Store distributes the app and processes every purchase and subscription through Apple In-App Purchase. Adapty is used to keep track of subscription status, so that the app knows which features you have unlocked, and to provide us with analytics about subscriptions, such as how many are started, renewed or cancelled. Each of these companies handles information under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.

On money, and who touches it

We never see your card number or your billing details. Purchases and subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. When Adapty is in use, it receives information about the status of your subscription and related transaction events so that access can be granted correctly and so that we can understand, in aggregate, how subscriptions perform. Questions about charges and refunds are best addressed to Apple, which holds the payment records.

How long things are kept

We keep information only for as long as it serves the purpose for which it was received: to deliver your generations, to maintain your access to paid features, to keep the service secure and to meet any legal obligations. When information is no longer needed for those purposes, we delete it or reduce it to a form that no longer identifies anyone. Records held by Apple and Adapty are retained according to their own policies.

Your rights, and how to use them

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to receive a copy of it, to have it corrected, and to have it deleted. Because Clio has no accounts, we may need a little help from you, for example details of the request or the device involved, to locate any relevant information. You may also manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in your Apple account settings, and you may stop all further processing simply by ceasing to use and deleting the app.

Younger writers

Clio is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in a manner that would require parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will look into it.

When this policy changes

We may revise this policy as the app evolves or as the law requires. When we do, we will update the effective date shown here, and where a change is significant we will make reasonable efforts to bring it to your attention within the app.

Writing to us

For any question about privacy, or to exercise any of the rights described above, please contact Clio AI: Creative Writing using the support contact provided on the app's App Store listing or within the app. Effective date: 10 November 2026.
