Privacy policy
ClearTract operates a construction-industry data service covering California. This policy covers two different groups, and we address them separately because their situations are different: visitors and customers of this site and product, and people who appear in public construction records we process.
If you visit this site or use the product
- This website doesn't use advertising trackers or cross-site identifiers. It's hosted on Railway and served through Cloudflare, which process standard request data (like IP address and browser type) to deliver and protect the site.
- Our free-trial sign-up form is provided by Tally. What you enter (your name, email, what you do, and where you work) is sent to Tally, which stores it for us and notifies our team so we can set up your trial.
- If you create an account we collect what you give us: name, email, company, and your product settings. We use it to run the service, not to resell.
- We don't sell visitor or customer personal information.
If you appear in construction records
Our database contains information about construction-industry participants — applicants, contractors, owners, architects, engineers, and other parties named on permits, planning documents, and related public filings.
What we collect
- Identifiers and professional information as published in government public records: names, firm affiliations, roles on a project, and business contact details where the issuing jurisdiction publishes them.
- Business contact information from other public professional sources, linked to the public-record identity.
Why we collect it
To help construction professionals find and contact the businesses and professionals involved in construction projects — business-to-business use. We license this information to subscribers under terms that prohibit resale and misuse.
Your rights
If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you rights over personal information about you, including the right to know what we hold, tocorrect it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Licensing data to subscribers may constitute a "sale" under the CCPA's broad definition, so we treat opt-out requests accordingly.
To exercise any of these rights, email[email protected]with your name and the request, or start fromDo Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. We verify requests, act on them within the statutory window, and don't discriminate against you for making one. Note that information required to remain in government public records stays available at the source jurisdiction — we can remove it from our service, not from the public record.
Retention and security
We keep records as long as they serve the product's purpose — construction history is longitudinal by nature — and protect them with access controls, row-level security, and authenticated, terms-bound access for anything at the person grain.
