Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Clutch ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and protects information obtained from users of the Clutch platform. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this Policy.
Overview
We are committed to handling your personal information with integrity and transparency. This Policy governs all information collected through the Clutch platform, website, APIs, and any related services. It applies to all users, including administrators, resellers, and end-users.
This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service, which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.
Information We Collect
Account Information. When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, hashed password, and account role. This information is required to create and maintain your account.
Technical & Usage Data. We automatically collect certain technical information when you access or use the Service, including: IP addresses, hardware identifiers (HWID), device fingerprints, operating system and version, browser or client type, session timestamps, login events, license key usage records, injection attempts, game session data, and other operational telemetry necessary for platform integrity and security.
Transaction Data. If you make a purchase, we collect billing and payment information as required to process your transaction. Full payment card data is processed by our payment processors and is not stored on our systems.
Communications. If you contact our support team or communicate through the platform, we retain records of those communications, including their content and associated metadata.
Log Data. Our servers automatically log all requests made to the Service, including the endpoint accessed, timestamps, response codes, and referral data. These logs are retained for security, fraud prevention, and operational purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for the following purposes:
- Providing, operating, maintaining, and improving the Service
- Authenticating users and verifying license entitlements
- Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent transactions, abuse, and security incidents
- Enforcing our Terms of Service and other policies
- Processing payments and managing billing records
- Communicating with you about your account, the Service, and policy updates
- Analyzing aggregate usage patterns to improve Service performance and features
- Complying with applicable legal obligations and responding to lawful requests
We do not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those described above without obtaining your prior consent.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and for legitimate business purposes including security and fraud prevention.
Technical and operational data — including license activity logs, injection records, HWID fingerprints, and session telemetry — may be retained indefinitely for security, integrity, and anti-abuse purposes, even after your account is closed. This data is essential to our ability to detect and prevent platform abuse.
If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your identifiable personal information within a reasonable period, subject to our obligations to retain certain data for legal, security, or operational purposes. Some information may remain in backup systems for a limited period following deletion.
Security
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using TLS, hashing of passwords using industry-standard algorithms, access controls restricting data access to authorized personnel, and regular security reviews of our infrastructure.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You acknowledge and accept this inherent risk by using the Service. In the event of a security breach affecting your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. We strongly recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling any available security features.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information
- Deletion: request deletion of your personal information, subject to our retention obligations
- Objection: object to certain processing of your personal information
- Portability: request a machine-readable copy of personal information you have provided to us
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the platform's support channels. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may require verification of your identity before fulfilling any request. Please note that certain rights may be limited where we have legitimate grounds for processing or legal obligations that require us to retain data.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 18 years of age, we will take prompt steps to delete such information.
